Related to James' straight drag race, we will have a dual "Grand Prix" course. This will involve two identical track plans (with crossings and curves) where two people race against each other without crashing or derailing. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)

(...) You know, I'd never looked into actually finding out what "Rail Racers" were until this post. I have to say, this is pretty cool! I'll definitely try and put an entertaining design together :) Is the course straight, or does it involve curves? (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)

(...) I've had a couple people say that now. :) (...) Normally the switch won't even have it stalled for a few seconds; it takes less than a second of power to flip the switch over.
