I came up with a new idea to take place on my new tracks. I hope this idea will be popular and I would like it to get going.
It will involve anyone who signs up driving their own NASTRUCK. BigDOGGe, may I have permission to re-paint your NASCAR tributes?
Idea
The NASTRUCK series will be an online race series for MTM2. It will use special racing trucks with slick tyres and NASCAR paint schemes. With luck, a good number of drivers will show up for races every Sunday evening. All tracks raced will be NASCAR tracks, made by me in miniature form. The trucks used will be re-painted versions of BigDOGGe's NASCAR tributes.
Tracks
If I get the series going, all tracks will be made as the series goes on. The first two tracks will be made before the season starts. From then on, the season progresses with tracks being made one week before their use. The races will all be 20 laps long.
Schedule
2 January - Daytona
9 January - North Carolina
16 January - Las Vegas
23 January - Darlington
6 February - Bristol

This is only a provisional schedule for the season if it is popular. It is subject to change for various holidays.
Rules
The rules for race weekends are as follows:
Each Friday before the races, a thread will be made on forums and on the official site.
Drivers will sign up for each race in that thread.
Drivers will meet at 7:00pm GMT on Sunday for the races.
The first 8 will go into one room and when it is full, the next drivers will go into another room.
All rooms must have suitable descriptions for the series.
The password for each game will be revealed in the official thread.
When all drivers who signed up have arrived, or the deadline of 7:20pm has been reached, they will be split up into groups to run the short qualifying heats.
The groups will vary in size depending on the number of drivers at the meeting.
Once the groups have been split up, they will each run a 10 lap race and the host will note down the results somewhere.
After both heats have been completed, the hosts will ZM each other with the results.
The top 4 from each race will go into the first room, and the next 4 from each into another room and so on.
The race for the top 8 drivers will be 20 laps, the race for anyone else will be 15 laps.
All races will be run in Clear or Cloudy weather.
