Default Track +/or Company Owners FREE RACE

I haven't asked permission for this, but I have an idea for the Race For Grace, and I am sure I can twist Doug's arm enough to make it work.

What do you all think of a "Track & Company Owner Race"? Standard length of race. Any car can be used (except nitro, cause RC Wife thinks they stink). If we can get enough of you to volunteer for the cause, I will generate a worthy prize. This would be a great way to advertise all of the NW tracks, and share in the fund raising for our event. Who is brave enough to participate?

Not a bad idea, but wouldn't it just end up the "Scott Brown kicks all of our butts race?"...

I say if we do it, Scott has to run a 2 cell pack with a mabuchi.....in a mini cooper.

Later EddieO

Mr Scott Brown isn't just the National champion Driver He's the world Champion that would be hard to beat......Maybe we should have Scott wear pair of DARK sun glasses lol

2 People to drive a car,

1 does the throttle
1 does the steering

Team them up by a Drawing.

Yes, I remember Dave Gullickson and another driver years ago doing the "one driver throttle, one driver steering" and it was really something to behold. These two guys were perfectly synchronized and you'd swear there was only one driver up there. It was awesome to see! Something I will never forget! I don't think many could equal that performance.

How about I set up the cars to the handicap I feel each deserves!

Really, I would be fair about it.

How about everyone bring a car. They are all numbered. Then you spin the "wheel of misfortune". Which ever number you get, you drive that car. So if you soup up your car, you better hope you land on that number, and if your car sucks, you better hope you don't get it.

Yeah, or something like going Masami Hirosaka style and drive with their feet.

I like this format

I would propose that the track owners son/daughter race, however Scott Brown still wins!
