I have a game using Lego set #6436 (and/or 6498), I downloaded the instructions
and ordered the parts to make a dozen. I call it 'Go-Kart Racing'. It is
played on Road Base Plates. Here is a link to pics on my Brickshelf pages:

You can make up the Go-Karts in multiple colors by changing the bricks. I have
raced with up to 12 Karts. The rules are a 1-page sheet and there are 2 pages
of Record sheets and 1 page for Turn Sequence for the Moderator.
It is quite simple to learn and can be quite competitive. I will send you the
rules and other sheets if you care to try. You must purchase and build your own
Karts (ha ha).
