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
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
The winner will receive a cup trophy.
Discussion
Red Sled is complete and will be on its way this week!
- What's that fron axle all about? Looks interesting — dribblybob
- That is a sweet looking ride!!!! — RAGTAG_JIM
Any update on the track? I'm trying to decide on a car to send...
- Yes it’s a road course with 3 turns. I’ll post a pic of the mock up in a comment here — RustBeltRacing
Here's the layout. Waiting for the 2 lane split turn to come in so I can tie everything down and dress it up. Both lanes are pretty even. Gets a little crazy when it opens up. There's a removable jump too for a future race.
