Default Silly idea... just for fun!

I was thinking... maybe at the last National of this year, maybe after the 2wd finals… get as many racers as possible to race at the same time!

As many different crystals as we can, Spectrum users etc... thought it would be well funny, might be able to get like 50 odd cars running at once, also it would make great video footage!

Yup deffo silly, but maybe very funny and entertaining?

Oh my god that is genius, what a great idea hahhaa

You should have a proper Motocross style line start though, can you imagine the carnage? Would be cool to see who gets the holeshot though....

Only thing - where would everyone stand?? You'll do well to find a big enough rostrum haha, unless you use a bank or something (depending where the track is)??

Just thought of that as you'd be best having the start coming towards the rostrum so you can at least see your own car, and obviously it would need to be an area off the track that's really wide, and then gradually narrows.

That would be cool video footage

Love it bathy, that's awesome

can you really see the officials letting 50odd cars on the track at once especially as the tracks closed at night so no advantage is gained, even though i doubt you'd be able to use the racing line

Well if you crashed in the middle of the track just imagine a pack of about 20 cars going into the section of track where you have crashed i dont think there would be much left to marshall. because not everyone will be able to avoid your stranded car.

I can see this causing some arguments at some point but i think it is an awesome idea, even if the cars started at different points around the track....

If they don't allow it there, we'll do it at Lee's i'm sure ;-) He'll love the idea hahaha, I just love the thought of a full on flat out motocross start into a hairpin - would be so cool to film too

I think rather than the hairpins the jumps would be one of the most fun bits at least to watch anyway. Deffinately need to have quite a few camera's mounted around the track I think.
