Re: All-Star Derby Race
Short track like Bristol. Not Marty. That's too easy to take someone out.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
All eligible tracks should be thrown in a hat, and one track drawn randomly approximately 1 to 1 and a 1/2 hours b4 scheduled start time.Using a fixed setup ,of course.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
Didn't someone make a figure 8 track for heat at some point? If not I think someone released a track like where the bandelaros (kids in mini legends cars) run at Lowes. in that little infiield oval.
I also think you can drive at will around MP Pocono's infield. There's some other add-on tracks that don't have invisible walls in the infield that may work. I think we should try to find a figure 8 though. have a last man standing race.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
I have a few figure 8 tracks (Figure of 8, Hednesford Figure 8, Smallfield8, Swaffam8, Texel8, Westworld8, ect...), but all of them cross paths (No bridges), I have been looking for one of those legend tracks (infield Charlotte, Atlanta, ect) but have not been able to find one for the LCH league...bover907 wrote:Didn't someone make a figure 8 track for heat at some point?

Smallfield Ramps, or Mad Track are always a great time!

Re: All-Star Derby Race
I may have misunderstood what you meant by "derby" when I posted earlier.After reading Bov's post, I kinda got "demolition" stuck in my head
and remembered the figure 8 races I used to go to in Bakersfield ,Ca. when I was a kid. What a blast that was! That sounds like something alot
of guys might attend. I dont know if it is feasible,but its worth a shot. Has anyone ever run a league sanctioned figure 8 race using Heat that
was successful?

Re: All-Star Derby Race
See, most people so far have said yes! I think if we can find a figure 8 track (not too small) we go with it!

Re: All-Star Derby Race
He said Derby, didn't he? To me, a derby is like a smash up derby. If you're just talking about a race where you're still running for the checkers, but with the 'gloves off', then it has to be a short track. Shorter the better. Jennerstown, Bowman Gray, etc.
As for figure 8's I was talking about one without a bridge, duster. Like the west coast style figure 8 races. I saw one at South Sound Speedy in Washington State once. What a blast that'd be

Re: All-Star Derby Race
This "derby" will most certainly involve crashing. Diving, gouging, and intentional takeouts will be a requirement for success.
The Figure 8 stuff probably won't work. Cars tend to ghost at those places and that defeats the major purpose here.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
this seems interesting lol... anyways yes there are figure 8 tracks I may still have one on my computer. believe it can be found at the Kiwi Bangers league site. although the Derry track is a nice course 1 banked turn and 1 nearly flat turn.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
I seem to remember a flat Dirt demo derby like track for heat that i downloaded once. Does any one know what track this is? iT would definately work, all cars could start with rear facing in wards and away they GO! DEMOLITION paybacks!

Re: All-Star Derby Race
Just to clarify, this would probably be a legitimate, full-length race. The only difference, of course, is that no rules would apply. At any given moment, the driver who happens to be leading should (in theory) be target #1. However, I assume everyone in the field will crash multiple times over.
Either way, it'll be pure survival.

Re: All-Star Derby Race
Time for Retro to chime in here. Don't you have that bowman gray track? Would that work. It's a narrow, short track where passing wouldn't be quite possible without a little action going on....
