Track
25ft track. 4 lane start reduced to 2 lane open track.
Race format and scoring
Cars will race in heats of 4 racers where the top two in points (after 4 races), moves on to the next round. A racer scores 1 point for first to the gate. 1 point for crossing each of the 4 check points as well as points for finishing order (5pts, 3pts, 2pts, 1pt). A DNF and zero pts only occurs if the racer does not cross the first check point. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
The car that has the Highest point total in the final heat race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.
When 22 entries are entered/received, I will do 'time trials' to determin the bracket. The top 14 times will make the bracket. The remaing 8 will run in (2) separate heats and each winner will move into the bracket as the 15th and 16th place qualifier.
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
$50 Walmart gift card to buy......more diecasts duh!

Can I Use Any Car?
Got My Ride Ready. I'll Send It Around Around Mid-August
I'll go ahead and sign up. Not usually good at building drag cars but anything can happen I suppose ????
Count me in. I'll give it a shot
Looks interesting do you have a YouTube channel or what is your plan to video the action
Hey I'm not trying to yank your chain on this and you've got a track that could be kind of fun to run some cars down. But in my time here, YouTube is the preferred method for sharing race results. And if you've been around since April, I'm sure you've watched more than a few races on YouTube.
and certainly videoing races takes time and effort in post processing. But as I have mentioned to hosts in the past one of the reasons for posting these videos of the races and even the qualification runs is so the racers can see how their cars are performing. Yeah it's cool to watch your creation running around on the Internet, but when I'm watching my car on a track. I'm judging it's performance all the way down. That's how you learn and build better cars.
i'm hoping to host some races in the future and I'm currently slowly building up a YouTube channel.
I figured out how to make all of the individual clips into a you tube video. If you are still interested in joining the race, it will now be on youtube instead of facebook! We made a preview video using the Neon racers set. It will be avail to view at 7pm central time at this link youtu.be/PUR7PwmC9R4
Sign me up for a modified car
I'll send 1
I'd like a spot if it's still room
I'll send one in! Thanks for setting up a YouTube channel, that's often easier than places like Facebook where not everyone has an account.
