Track
Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination team based tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins two races. 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
All money from entry fees will be split amongst the winning team as in the movie.

Imma go with green n yellow team, have to figure out the car to get
Yes I'm definitely in (:-))
And I'll thro in an extra few $$$ to go in da pot
Well this will be a bit challenging considering more than half of the castings here are either discontinued or not readily available on store pegs at the moment.I may participate in this event but I can't gurantee
- I think there should be a fair amount that they are still making. — Kingshark
- Kingjester check ebay if that will be problematic i can see if i can find one for you if you don't mind — CHOWHOUND_RACING_N_DIECAST
- There are a couple available on the shelves but if anything I can check out savers since here in Rhode Island that’s the place to find cars that aren’t currently on the shelves — Kingjester
- Kewl — CHOWHOUND_RACING_N_DIECAST
Highway 35 had several more castings than those featured in that image, but of those several are on shelves right now. The braille Twin Mill and batman 5 packed Nomad are peg warmers in my town
I just researched the cars involved in the movie and series.. then looked up the castings related to the genre. There are so many castings attached to the movie n series i had to write a few of them down. Saw a few i likes so I'm on the search
Some of these castings for a dollar, just have to
pay Shipping
- Man, you gotta work on a junk box. A cardboard box full of junkers you find in big lots at the flea market or thrift store. That way when an event like this happens, you have a beater you can fix up for it. — Uncle_Elvis
- Gotcha — CHOWHOUND_RACING_N_DIECAST
- If I were you I would sand down that front splitter so it doesn’t drag on the turns and slow it down — Kingjester
- Ty brother definitely will do — PuffsRacing
Count me in please. I will pick a car and a team after I give this a bit more thought.
Cheers, Numbskull
