I believe these races have been going on for many years (at least since I joined the program in 2001). They are incredibly fun. They used my MOE bandanna as the starting flag. We probably have pictures but I doubt I could ever find them because our team has way too many pictures and video.

Atlanta should be no different. It will have a parking lot and teams who don't make it to Elims (well over a hundred). Chariot races are a spontaneous thing, because you never know who will get picked. If you find yourself among the majority of teams that don't make the cut (remember to think positively, don’t assume you will not make it), you could organize one yourself. Just talk your team into the idea, and then run around to other pits to recruit some competition. You could even try to organize it beforehand with a thread, but I think people will be reluctant to commit to anything. You could set a meeting time and place and maybe a few teams would show up. I think we had about a half dozen teams last year. Well good luck Race Promoter!

The 471 Big Block Chevy makes 600 HP on motor and weighs 3500 lbs with driver. I think a dual Chip/Atwood tranny might give me a run for the money!
