5 to 10 drivers line up to start at once, each piloting 500+ hp compact cars through race traffic over a challenging short course that features jumps and transitions between pavement and gravel. Actual finish order determines advancement through a series of heat eliminations until the main event. The action is non-stop and strategy is critical. The highlight of the course is an extra element featuring a crossover gap jump where vehicles fly over their competitors. Drivers are required to take one pass at the jump per heat, which takes more time than the regular lap. Each driver must decide, on the fly, the best moment to take it.! Major Exposure!
