The NASCAR Heat Racing League is prepared to announce its sixth Signature Event, the Winter Welcome!
The event will take place on Friday, December 18 at 9:00 PM ET and consist of 10 rapid-fire, shootout-style races in the USAC Legends mod. Altogether, the evening will include about 200 laps across some of the newest, smallest, and most popular short tracks from The Mod Squad and elsewhere. The event will also feature several unique rules, like a single fixed setup and starting grid reversals. Competitors are required to connect to our Ventrilo server for the night.
Please feel free to ask questions about the event. We'll also be posting some final details as we get closer to the date.
NHRL Signature Events are an ongoing, season-less series of special exhibition races conducted at alternative courses in non-league-series mods. In some cases, the rules, formats, or other particularities may also differ significantly from standard league activities. The possibilities for NHRL Signature Events are truly limitless, so we invite members of the general community to join the discussion on our forum and take an active role in shaping their ever-evolving schedule.
Similar to what we've done with IROC, where each setup has a sprint gear and a fuel gear, the 3rd and 4th gears here are raceable. However, in the case of the Winter Welcome, the main purpose in staggering the gears is to accommodate tracks ranging in size from 0.25 to 0.75 miles.
We'd appreciate comments and feedback on the setup. We can still make adjustments if needed.
