OBJECTIVE: To be a part of the winning team who completes a 20% race quicker
at Red Rock than there opponents team. (as per a stop watch)

RACERS OBJECTIVE: To complete the race as soon as possible.

DESTROYERS OBJECTIVE: To Destroy or slow down the RACERS as much as
possible.

1) Two 20% races held at Red Rock / / /. No damage, No Yellows, No pace lap.
2) Two teams split up evenly, RACERS & DESTROYERS (racers that will race)
(destroyers will destroy)
3) 24 driver limit that would require sign up. 1st come 1st serve. with
alternates if need be.
4) 10 min. practice, no warm up, grand prix style start. (stand back from
your computer 20 feet then run to it as the green flag flies <g> kidding of
course)
5) Here's the catch :) nobody knows who's on who's team until after
qualifying & the race begins. All the drivers that qualified on the outside
row will be RACERS for the 1st race (even numbers) All the drivers that
qualified on the inside row will be DESTROYERS for the 1st race (odd
numbers)
6) Qualifying as usual for the second race but those that were DESTROYERS
now will become RACERS & vice versa.
7) As soon as the green flag flies I will start a stopwatch & time the
RACERS to see how long it takes for the race leader to get the 1 lap to go
signal at which time I will stop the stopwatch. (since I will hear the 1 lap
to go signal I will then know when the leader hits the S/F line thus timing
properly even though there's still one lap remaining) Officially the race
will be scored with 1 lap to go.
8) FLAMING will be allowed & tolerated :) As a matter of fact it will be
encouraged <g> Tell em how ya really feel.

DESTROYERS HINTS & TIPS:

REMEMBER DAMAGE IS OFF so you will only be slowing the RACERS not
eliminating them.

DESTROYERS can do whatever they need to do to stop or slow down the RACERS
as best as possible. Block the track, race side by side with RACERS then
crash them or do whatever you can come up with to slow down the progress of
the RACERS thus taking them longer to complete the race.

The main objective of the DESTROYERS should be to get the leader. Then when
he's no longer the leader get the new leader :)

Careful you can still BLOW your engine.

THE ONLY THING YOU CANNOT DO IS DRIVE BACKWARDS. Well, you can but TEN
doesn't allow it so you will be disqualified, thus having less DESTROYERS to
eliminate RACERS.
RACERS HINTS & TIPS:

REMEMBER DAMAGE IS OFF so your race will not be over if your wrecked, your
progress will only be slowed.

RACERS should work together & not take each other out. It doesn't matter who
finishes 1st just what team or teammate does it in the quickest possible
time.

RACERS can drive anywhere on the course (grass, pits, apron, access roads)
whatever it takes to continue on as fast as possible without being hit by a
DESTROYER.

RACER TURNED DESTROYER: <g>

If you as a RACER become picked on or lose several laps to your fellow
teammates it may be time to become a DESTROYER :) NOT AGAINST YOUR TEAMMATES
BUT TO CLEAR A PATH FOR YOUR FELLOW TEAMMATES. Maybe you could clear those
DESTROYERS out of the way in an effort to open a path for your fellow
RACERS. (Caution you may cause more problems to your teammates by creating
more cars for them to avoid) Use this method at your own risk <g>

BENEFITS: Actually guys as crazy as this sounds this type of race can
actually help us all become better racers. The # 1 benefit is that it helps
you learn how to avoid & react when another car becomes a hazard on the
track. Should I aim for the car? Will it be gone by the time it gets there?
etc. etc.

What do you think? Nothing could go wrong in a series like this :) We'd just
have to make sure everyone understands who are DESTROYERS & who are RACERS.
In other words we couldn't just take anybody that strolls into whatever
arena we decide on.

If I got enough response I could throw something like this together if a
bunch like this idea. Let me know.
