Possible diecast mail-in gravity race

Peace on ya brother
Would anyone on here be interested in entering a diecast mail-in race I will possibly be holding here at my house? I have been tossing the idea around in my head for the last few days.

The rules would be pretty simple:

-75 grams maximum weight
-Any make/model/brand of diecast car allowed
-No restrictions on wheel styles
-Only graphite as lube allowed
-Both modified & stock cars are allowed
-3 entries per racer maximum

Any other modifications would be fine. Although I would need to post up maximum dimensions for entries.

Is anyone interested? If enough people show interest in an event I will make a new thread with rules, race date, etc.

Suggestions, ideas, etc. are always welcomed!

Here's how it works: You modify one or more diecast cars to be faster on a gravity track. You send in your entry(ies) to the host of the race, or the first host if it is a series. The host(s) randomly pair everyone's cars against each other and run them down their track. Usually it's the old fashioned 'first to the finish line wins' type of race.

I am going to post the official entry thread on here now, if you or anyone else would like to enter just leave a comment on the new thread or shoot me a PM!
