This is a Ford inspired race. Any Ford "car" no trucks. The race will be held on the Tiger's Tail Raceway. Anyone who knows this track, knows what it takes to make it down the track. Please no narrow chassis cars, as they tend to roll, save those for a drag track. You'll need a wide chassis and LCG.

Track
This is a road course race and will take a properly built car to be competitive. The Tiger's Tail is a fast track and if your car is unable to take the speed it will be eliminated.
Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins two races in a row. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.
Bracket seeding will be random.
Penalties/DNF
Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.
Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.
Prizes
A small personal made trophy will be sent with the return of the winners car. GOOD LUCK DRIVERS !
