(I don't recall seeing pics of Nazi Staff cars racing at LeMans )

LeMans was dominated by the French and English in the pre-war years, but Mercedes was still very active in Grand Prix racing @ that time. However, the 540k was considered as a luxury car...although it does have similarly styled 'siblings' that may have swapped paint w/ the big Bentleys @ "Cirque de La Sarthe" as independent entries.

Open-track racing?...does that mean, like...AGGRESSIVE racing? That's what Fastest of the Fastest Racing Team lives for!
So here's my deal; I can host up to three races.
Race #1: A standard drag strip, 20 (give or take a few) feet long (I could shorten the hill and lengthen the straight, if you want, for a more Endurance effect).
Race #2: A 4 to 5-foot four-lane track (The Five-Foot Endurance Race).
Race #3: A...probably six-to-eight foot loop track (one loop-de-loop for each of the two lanes).
The best time for us to race would be around the week after New Year's, as that is when we're also hosting Dueling Deliveries. None of the above are open-track; please let me know what you think of these ideas.

Yes; and please let me know if any of my tracks are acceptable--or if this will even be at multiple houses.
