Here they are, to help you with your picks. You may notice a sticker/left over stickers on top of the cars---this is because it has previously been entered in our league races.

****Really wish I could have entered my fastest Rescue Ranger, but it was taken away for winning our league races. This is our next fastest one, so it should be a little more interesting.

Will try and get a picture of the track up soon. Let me know if you have any questions on these cars.

I thought once a car makes a champ the model is retired.

Cars that win are retired but they can be unlocked with credits, which is what happened with the Ranger. The only cars that remain out of play (for now) are the hall of fame cars. Otherwise, if you have at least 3000 credits you can unlock and enter any previously retired car.

How do you enter a car that you've unlocked?

Once you've unlocked a car it will appear on your dashboard in the "Garage" - this just lets you know which cars you have.

When you go to enter a car, if any cars in your garage meet requirements for the tournament, it will show that car at the top of the list and you can enter it from there.

You're the only person that can enter your garage car, so it won't appear in the list of cars for anyone else. Once you enter a car it will become publicly available for future tournaments (assuming it doesn't win an get retired right away).

...which is why I've been unlockin' as many as I can afford.

I do think that the host tracks has put a major twist in the unlocking of cars. Unlocking of retired cars is one of the best things that has come along! I expect to have a good chance at winning a race by entering a previous winner and get that 50 point bonus.

With the host tracks, you have no idea if you are really entering a winner or just a dud that someone else has and now have wasted my 3000 credits. My thought (strategy??) is to now sit on those cars until the track returns to the Redline derby track and hopefully that car is available for the race.

Thinking along with Iowa, this could mean that if everyone waits to enters their unlocked cars when the races come back to RDR headquarters, we may end up having a 'best of the best' tournament -interesting.
