Please direct all questions to jimmy@alamoschool.org.

This was a Division 80 event. Electric Power Plants or Gas Engines were allowed.
There will be no restrictions as to dropped weapons, tire shots, rams, whatever. Anything goes, as long as it's AADA legal.

It will be a 3 lap race with the winner being the first person, with or without his vehicle, to cross the finish line the third time.
It will be a rolling start at 80 mph. You must maintain forward motion in the clockwise direction at all times, though there is no minimum speed.
If your car is rendered immobile (either by 2 or more wheels gone or by engine/PP being destroyed),
you can either give up at that point or get out and try to make it on foot. No stopping and no going backwards.

I use the rules as printed in CWC2.5 except where superseded by UACFH.
I also use clarifications per Eric Freeman in the CWRQ & ODQ with very, very few exceptions.
I do use reflex rolls and confetti; I don't use alternate encumbrance rules.
You can only carry 6 GE on your person. Any more must go into cargo space.
It takes up 1 space and weighs 50# per 12 GE or fraction thereof. Any damage done to cargo space makes it unusable.
If you have more than 12 GE in cargo space, any shot that hits cargo will destroy one space worth determined randomly.

I try to keep it simple and use what's already printed. If you have any specific questions, please let me know.

Thanks for the interest and good luck!

The two big curves in the east are banked. The northern one is normally banked and the southern one is steeply banked.
A banked curve reduces all bends made with the curve by 1 and increases bends made against the curve by 1.
A steeply banked curve reduces all bends made with the curve by 2 and increases bends made against the curve by 2.
Drifts are opposite. You can drift against the curve easier but drifts with the curve are more difficult by the same factors.

I'm trying several views with this duel.
The map above will always be kept up to date. The following will be larger downloads, but closer views.
The clarity is a little on the poor side right now, but I plan to make it better as the race continues...
