I just registered 2 cars, err TRUCKS, for this tournament. If the tournament fills I am willing to reduce my entries to one if it will help another racer enter.

That would be a good problem to have! One hope for this new calendar is getting more *people* to enter, rather than have 4 people enter 4 cars. If I can get 8 people with 2 cars each that would be awesome. Thanks for registering!!

Registered! The truck that dominated the Hardcore Racing Series is coming out of retirment! I think its last win came on the Johnny Lightning track.

That will still be it's last win because the worlds' fastest rental van is headed to Ohio.

It's up the THE BOSS (no, not Bruce), but I would think that those would be classified as station wagons.

I guess it depends on the model, but I would think the ...on second thought I don't know.

@TLD - Anything that looks something like a truck or van qualifies. Just to keep things easy and clear, lets keep the wagons out of it. So no station wagons and no Woody wagons. Anything with "Truck" in the name is good.

@Carl - You're right, scoring does sound a little screwy and I admit I didn't think it all the way through before I posted, so it might need some revising. I think what was in my head ends up being loser brackets so I'll revise the details and try to be more clear.

Here's how it will work (I think)...

Primary bracket will determine 1st and 2nd place
Round 3 losers will race to determine 3rd and 4th place
Round 2 losers will race in a 4-car bracket to determine 5th and 6th place, losers race to determine 7th and 8th
Round 1 losers will race a 8-car bracket to determine 9th and 10th

But since ranking requires results by person, in the case where a person claims two positions, they will receive credit for the highest position and everyone else gets bumped up. So if you end up 2nd and 5th place after all the racing is done, you'll get marked down for 2nd and whoever was 6th will get bumped up to 5th and so on.

Sorry for the confusion...I'm not the best with brackets. I'm used to 16-cars and being done

I also just noticed when I was editing the details that I picked the wrong track too. (Geez, I can't win)...the track for the Truck-o-Rama will be on Redline Line, the long downhill track.

What was the Hardcore Series max? 116 Grams? I hope there's solid sub flooring at the Redline Derby Headquarters.
