Fantasy castings don't get no respect! While the specifics are TBD, this tournament will celebrate all the crazy car-like and off the wall fantasy castings! To make things even more ridiculous, there will be no limit to the weight and modifications you can make, as long as nothing will damage the track or stab me in the foot!

Track
The Tricky Triangle will (probably) be retired this winter; this event will run on a new track (though it will have similar concepts: laned track leading to open track w/ elements of Crash Racers, Coroplast, and an "interesting" finish area.

There will be a best in show competition!
