The Racer's Edge Motorplex Soft Opening

Congratulations to our 'First' Champion at our track: JavierRun

While we only had 6 racers sign up, only 3 actually sent in cars. With only a limited run, I opted to not do a ladder/bracket race, and instead did a round robin event. This event allowed me to have each car/driver race each opponent twice in each lane for Stage 1 to act as a Time Trials and Qualifier section. Then have a Stage 2 for a Heat and Main Event section. Total WINS by a car/driver would determine the overall Champion.

This is also my first video ever made, and yes, there are mistakes. I even have little snippet pieces that I was afraid to edit the video any longer in case I erased something I couldn't go back easily. I also had a camera view that while it showed the cars coming down the track to the finish line, the viewer doesn't have a view of the finish line timer. Of course I have the view from my side, but these are things you learn as you go.

I do want to thank the three drivers who did show up for the race: JavierRun, Rusty_Clutch, and JackH18. Jack came all the way in from Ireland!

The race was fair, the process went sort of smooth with only 3 drivers, but video production is definitely a learning experience.
