Pinks For The Cure (Breast Cancer Charity Race)
Thursday, October 1st, 2020We're racing and raising funds for Breast Cancer Research. Normally, "pinks" means pink slips when it comes to racing, but for this event, it's the color of all the cars!

Race format and scoring
This will be a round-robin tournament in the first round. Subsequent rounds will be head-to-head. Each heat of later rounds will be best-two-out-of-three.
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.
Stocks and Mods will be run as two separate categories.
For those who would like to participate without sending in a car, we have a collection of 10 cars (8 stock, 2 mods) that are in want of drivers. A $5.00 donation will secure status as driver of one of those cars.
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
Winner: Trophy and Bragging Rights
Everyone else: Good feelings for having made the world a better place.

Putting the finishing touches on a now pink Ferrari.
I should be able to put something together by then...at least 1 car.
You got a good logo for this race? I'll use it to pimp the race through our channels too.
This is great! I'll have to get something to you
