Showdown Test Post

LIMIT ONE CAR PER CLASS
(One Sportsman One Strangebrew Mods)

This race event is all about the great circle track racers many of us grew up watching.
We have our own versions of these legendary cars here at the Show-Me Speedway in 1/32nd scale, and we invite YOU to join in the fun!


This event is ran by a different approach than others you might see.
Many “proxy” type races focus on speed/performance above all else.
Such is not the case for this event and it’s important you understand that before deciding to enter.

INTRODUCTION

1. – This is a scale modeling event. The actual modeling and appearance of the cars are on equal terms as performance. Almost any racer can make a car go fast. An enthusiast can make them go fast in style.

2. – This is a ONE TRACK ONLY event. This is a simple “FUN RUN” at only our track. Once the race is completed, your models are returned.

3. – Three Contests – One Big Fun Run. You win by participation. Bragging rights is your reward if you come in first. No official prizes. (Always a surprise though)

4. – Entry Fee – $10.00. You can simply DONATE HERE for these.  If you are sending from outside the continental USA, we will work with that as well.

LIST OF RACE EVENTS

SHOW-ME SHAKEDOWN – Test and Tune

Held the Friday before the event. We test every model and report live on the forum. If we find any issues with your model, we will contact you and repair if we can. THis way your model will be ready for race day!

“Best In Show” – The modeling portion of the event where your models will be photographed and a page for them created. Then all the models will be judged by the discerning members of our forum and the results posted.

“FAST LAP SHOOTOUT”. Your models will be timed in one lane and the best overall time winner will be posted.

“The Showdown”The cars will be ran in a rotation format. Drivers will be stationary or we swap when we need a break or someone else wants to run. Normally 2 minute heats.

Our Track Info

 

 

Tires will be cleaned (deglazed) using simple sponge material that has a 50% alcohol/Water mix .

Performing this between heats simply gives the cars the maximum traction.

“A clean tire is a happy tire”
