New Racing Series!

[ellyssian]

So the guy next cube over came up with an idea for the ultimate in a new racing series... Vintage Mini racing seems to do so well, despite the fact that it involves the British equivalent of the VW Beetle, but he came up with something so much betterer^TM.

I added several tweaks of my own and it's ready to go to the Test Marketing phase... we think it will do well on account of the absurdly high frequency of crashes and the Keystone Kops atmosphere on pit row...

... anywho, we bring you: NASVAN - Vintage Minivan Racing

The race is restricted to minivans manufactured prior to 1990. Plenty of room on the van for *lots* of sponsorship stickers. Rolling(sometimes -over) billboards. Some models (specifically a few from GM) will require a restrictor plate to compensate for their more aerodynamic design. Full - and we mean full - roll cages will be required. The pit crew will ride in the van and be required to get out and back in the van before the van can roll again.

So, what do you think? =)

Oh, Swell! Neither of my vans could enter! Dang. Well, okay, I've only got one, but I know where the other one lives.

I disagree with punishing a factory advantage with restrictor plates. No restrictor plate for any qualifying model, to compensate allow racers some push and shove contact.

Hmmm... I will take that up the Advisory Board when he gets in. The push-and-shove seems like it would add interest, and likely drive up (pun unfortunately quite intended) attendance at the races and the numbers of viewers at home, which means more marketing money coming in... I'm liking the idea so far.
