I was thinking we could have some kind of time trails during the day, then
have the finals with a single elimination event during the evening. This way
everyone gets to run their racers some, get a feel for the track and then
decide if they need to change anything.

I’m not sure there really is a need for a workshop, since there is no real
art to building a racer, but we can bring it up in the Train Club
discussion/workshop maybe as a way to get the visitors at train shows to
interact with LTC layouts.

It would be nice to have a place to display all the entered racers between
events.

Plus I am working on a special stunt version racer, maybe a little exibition
display before the evening finals. I'm working on a train that will actually
jump off a ramp and land on the rails on the other side. Maybe I can set it
up to jump a Metroliner :)
