	FG: Nascar VI Race Sign-up Thread Enter the AD-FREE zone

Ok, Now that Skanky has won race V, we're looking for partipants in race VI. And we need a GM also. I'd prefer to race in this one, but if we get desperate.......

So who else wants to RACE?

In, but on the fence of whether to gm or participate. Let me see if I have time to mock up a track today.

Getting more than 6 races would help.
I think the 1/2 speed on crashes helped keep the race closer along with the off track rules.

Spaced, did you start putting together a track? It looks like you have a little time while we encourage others to participate.

No, but I've been thinking about the layout. If today proves to be light on work, I'll start working on it.

	Put an end to popups!

Okay, some new twists. I've added multiple paths that are blind paths, that is you don't see the whole path til your already on it.

I've added jumps, you need to hit them right or you crash. You need to have the speed to go from one ramp to the other in one turn, so you have to hit it right and at the right speed. If you end up in the middle at the end of your turn. Crasho!

Lastly, no limit to the amount of WC you can use in one turn. You want to use them all on T1 or T_last that is fine by me.

Whaddya think?

How much of the track is that? I'm tempted to chance my arm, but don't want to play a really long game, especially as I'm rarely at 'poly at the weekend and so would have to send in orders in advance.

I presume the V signs are jumps. Could you somehow show how many spaces are between the jump ramps so that those of us who don't have perfect sight can judge the required speeds properly?
I can see that people who crash into others just before jumps are not going to be very popular at all. How many wildcards will be available? I was just thinking that you'll need more than in previous games if only because should you crash on a jump then you'll have to either reverse and get the speed up again, or use loads of WCs all at once to power over the ramps.

Looking to be about 40 turns of track. Rah did the last game with weekend rules, so I'll probably do the same. Too much of a pain to email the track between work and home.

The V's, <'s, and >'s are all ramps (both take off and landing). If you don't make the jump then you'll just lose all your speed and be placed on the landing ramp for the next turn, that is, no big penalty.

I've made the track pretty wide, except for the first turn, and there are multiple paths within multiple paths that have multiple paths.

I don't know how to put "something in the jump space so you can count the spaces." The jumps are no longer than 4-5 spaces and most are shorter. The problem lies in the fact that some cross each other.

Lastly, give it a try Duke. If it proves to be too much, then you can just drop out with no hard feelings. You would not be the first to do so *cough* Chaunk *cough*.

Well I was just thinking of something like putting full stops (periods ) in between the jumps, to differentiate them from the track itself, and show how fast you must be going to clear it. I'll give it a shot though, and see how long I last.....
