Hafa Adai Slot Car Friends!
I'm always looking for better and easier ways to conduct fair races. One of the most frustrating things during a race is also the crashes and de-slotting that goes on. I know several of you out there may have already used this method, but I'd like to visit it again.
As most of us conduct our races with the most laps gets the highest score. This is much better than the first one across the finish line wins. The second method promotes a massive amount of crashes and de-slots.
Assuming you're using the second method, I've added a simple rule that even minimizes this further, and actually produces much better drivers and more competition as time goes on.
Here it is:
When any racer crashes or de-slots, or causes a track call at any time, this racer must place a color coded chip in front of his station representing that driver's lane. At the end of the heat, or race, all the laps/points of each driver are totaled, and each chip represents minus one lap for that driver.
I was really surprised at the awesome results this produced. The races went so much smoother, and after several heats, races really got competitive, exciting and a lot more fun. The skill level of the drivers improved dramatically.
So, if you're having this same problem, give this simple rule a try - you won't be disappointed!
Happy Slotting!
