Hey Guys,

I'm just looking for some input for upcoming races. I was just looking back over the last year or so of racing, and there were quite a few cool races that might be worth repeating. The ones that come to mid are...

- Vehicle Hauler Race

- Cops - N - Robbers

- Pony Wars

- Sedan Shootout Series

And these are just the ones that come to mind. Any of these races would be cool to run again, and I'd be glad to organize any of the above, if the original organizers don't want to.

There has also been talk of...

Winged cars

Fantasy Cars

VW's (any kind of V Dub)

Cars of the '50's

Like I said, I'm just looking for some input...what would you like to build?

Thanks Guys!


Chris

Despite me not racing in many of those...I think the Cops-N-Robbers should be an annual tournament. Just a fun concept that always produces some neat styles.

A fantasy class race would be interesting to see what gets created. 

Didn't we have a European theme race a while ago too? Seems familiar, but a tournament that only allows European or non-American cars could be neat.

I know I'm the super minority but seeing roadster after roadster, and muscle after muscle is getting kind of tiresome. Y'all have proven you can make some super fast hot rods...I'd think that getting out of a comfort zone would be a great (and welcomed) challenge but if it's not what folks like to build, then let em live. ...and that's almost entirely from a spectator perspective.

Food for thought.

Cops n Robbers. But I like the idea of Beetles. I also would love to see a return of the Way 2 Fast blast altered race some day.


  • Cop n Robbers beetles only....lol — Stroller

I like the sound of "fantasy cars".  It is solid enough to be a concept but vague enough for all sort of entries to get submitted.  I would love to see what people would cobble together for that race.

I've always wanted to host a all-Mini tournament. Mini Morris, Coopers and the likes. They're pretty abundant on the pegs could pose some interesting mod challenge. 


I also have been tinkering with the danger changer (possible contact) adding it to my DT set up... Need to work out some logistics between track sets to make it all work... 

Alrighty, Bugs it is! With possibly some Fantasy and/or Winged cars in the near future as well.

And, I'll talk to Stroller to see if he wants to do the Cops-N-Robbers again this year...if, not, I'll put it together!

What's a good weight for the Bugs, TE? You think 40 grams? Or, do you want to weight them up to 57?...or both?

Let me know and I'll schedule it! :)


  • The black Baja bug stock is 52g, besides they are round..plenty of room in there :) — Traction-Event
  • Okee-dokee...57 grams, it is. I'll schedule it a little later — 72_Chevy_C10
  • if i get my danger changer track sorted...it could be an extermination race... — Traction-Event
  • Can we allow stocks? The infamous BEETLEMAN might want in on this... — FOTF
  • Try moddin sumpting mane. — KandORacing

Buggin' Out, "Stalker" style.

I'm into the "Bug-out".

Also, a European manufacturer vs JDM would be cool. BMW's, Benz's, etc... vs Skylines, Evo's, etc...


  • Cool...I'm looking forward to seeing what you build! — 72_Chevy_C10

How about a vs. race...even series that's actually run in a vs. fashion.  So let's say Camaros vs. Mustangs...round one all Camaros run against a Mustang...winner Camaros go into a pile and Winner Mustangs into another and they keep running Camaros vs. Mustangs until one side is eliminated.  Then the winning side starts eliminating each other.  Sorta like Survivor starts out (but never sticks with).

I'm not suggesting Camaro v. Mustang, I'm suggesting the race style.


  • This sounds like a solid idea — JDC442
  • Pony Wars race was a fun race last year,,,maybe a Pony Wars 2? — 72_Chevy_C10
  • Chevy vs Pontiac, Dodge vs Chrysler...? — delta6
