How do you race your cars?
 

Seems to me that we all play with our cars in different ways. I was curious what most people are looking for in their car.


**Forgot to add a "None of the Above" for those who just collect or paint.

As you know I'm working on Bit City. It already has a 75% completed raceway and will soon have a tower, a major road, 2 parking lots, a park, some shops, an apartment building, and more. So, all of the above [except ralling].

I mostly do drag racers, dont have enough time to make a track. We usually drag on a pool table but the thing that sucks is that all the green lint and hairs get caught in your rear axel, no a big problem though.

Good topic. I race with loose courses. Whatever I can design with my 2 boxes of ZZ tracks.

Oh, I also make a big circle and have crash derby games with my friends. This one should have been added to the poll. haha

definitely oval racing, nothing better than spinning your friends out as they go into a turn! I also enjoy loose road course racing

i just got mine, but i prefer to race ralley. Before i had my car, i got bord, so i made a bunch of jumps, and man, does my car fly! i couldn't wait for my bit, so while i was at wally-world, i pickecd up a new motorworks, and it is amazing!great range, fast, and it has good controll!

I hit rally course although I also run them on "technical" road courses. Never dragged them though.

i drive too crazy to be able to do technical stuff lol

With my booster car I love to do rally coarse stuff made out of newspaper and books...but with my other can I usually do drag races on my air hockey table, great for traction, and floor

I like the technical stuff, but I always include a long strait and a fast sweeper for some good places for the fast cars to pass.

what do you guys use for boundaries?

Well, used too (when my R/C was alive)...RALLY!!!

My carpet is thin enough to even let a 1.0 go by (with some time of course) while it still has the rough profile of the off-roads to make the 3.2 bounce like the cars u see on the WRC, too bad its pretty much flat surfacing so I had to make up for it with self-made ramps etc.

man, oh man, I'm the lone man on the high speed oval lol

I'm actually kinda surprized, I thought there was a lot more drag racer out there.

I like tight technical courses, but I like to go fast too, and with a 2.6 it starts to get too hard. That's why I would like to check out a booster car, but for now I just keep my courses loose.

I used to love 1/10th scale dirt oval racing. I thought it would be boring driving in circles, but it was actually kinda fun how one corner affects how you go into the the next corner, which affects how you come out of that turn, and so on. In 1/10 scale, when you get your suspension tweaked just right, you just tap the brake going into the corner, the left front wheel lifts, and the back end swings around. Your on the verge of spinning out, and that feeling of being on the edge of heaven or hell is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately bits don't capture the experience. It either spins out or it don't, no in between controlled drift. Maybe when I get some springs for the front end I'll be able to tweak it for oval racing.

Tight and technical!:D One day whenb I have money I'll make a nice country track with good grip, and lots of scenery. :D
