So looks good! Now...what happens if people decide they are going to race extra rough to do all they can to make the show/win the race. Well, for one if you wreck someone in the heats or B, they are most likely going to get your spot if it's determined you are at fault.
If you wreck someone in the A Main, that driver will get your prize money.
The goal in this race is to have fun, but race clean and hard for a chance at the win. This will be a chance to prove you can beat the best of the best. Nerves will be high for this race I'm sure, as the competition should be very stout.
Another thing, if you are new or newer to VLR race's and trying to make a name for yourself...do not try to bang your way through the field to make the feature and impress people. The top drivers will be more impressed by someone who shows patience, and races clean. A lot of people can make themselves good or bad reputations at this race by how they race against some of the veterans of the game.
If you are new to the series, there is going to be little tolerance towards aggressive driving to get to the front. We will strictly enforce clean racing in this event.
If you make the A Main, congratulations! You have a good shot at earning money/prizes. Just do it the right way. We will take the top 5 replays after the A Main and examine them closely. If the winner can not provide his/her replay, they will not be awarded the victory. We will post unofficial results after the race, watch the replays, and then post the official results after we make sure nobody is cheating / penalized for rough driving.
If you are caught cheating, you will get 0 points for the event, and 0 winnings. Everyone behind you bumps up a position and the money will then be distributed as such.
We will meet in VLR's ventrilo, which info's listed on the DTR2 Ventrilo Page under the Community tab. VLR's Ventrilo holds 50 people. If we somehow got more than 50 cars, you would need to go to BLS Ventrilo and we will add you into the lineups.
QUALIFYING WILL START AT 8:30 PM EASTERN SHARP. Please be in Ventrilo sooner than 8:30pm eastern for qualifying. Heat races will follow qualifying and begin at approximately 9PM Eastern or immediately following qualifying.
