Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins. Best-of-three races. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Best-of-5 races. Race host has final decision in all races.
Bracket seeding will be random. (Per category)
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.

Discussion
Updated entry fee for easy conversion from PHP to USD
The deadline seems a bit tight for over seas shipping. Shipping to the Phillipines can take 10-14 days.
- Ahh! I see. I have to move it maybe 2 weeks more. I have only a few days til my vacation is over. Gonna spend my free time on something useful :D — SilverFoxRacing
I have limited time where I could do this event. I am currently in vacation and had time to do a mail in. Weather has also hindering my building progress (currently there's a typhoon as I type).
I hope the new deadline could be enough. I will update once again if there is feedback. Thanks!
Hmm I wonder if a drag track would be better than a downhill circuit. The space outside is long enough (20ft) to handle a long straightaway.
Thoughts?
You can watch the YouTube video trailer for Underground King. Thank you:D
.
I have a few finished modified cars on hand that have raced at other tracks. I could send two of these if this is acceptable. It would save some time and allow me to get them in the mail soon enough to arrive on time.
Cheers, Numbskull
- Having 4 cars is ok! As long as the other 2 are named after another member of the household — SilverFoxRacing
Count me in for 1 stock and 1 modified please.
- Sure! I will send the details shortly thru chat. Thank you great sir for the support :D — SilverFoxRacing
Please count New Jersey Drive Racing for 1 Mod entry and 1 Stock entry. PLease confirm.
Thanks!
UPDATE
I've decided for a drag track instead. Will follow a picture within a few days (once the weather condition is great again)
Numbskull Racing is on the way.
UPDATE: In case international entries do not arrive a week before the intended deadline, the event will be pushed into a further date to accommodate entries coming from abroad.
New deadline of submissions: October 15, 2023
How much is the entry fee? In dollars.
