Our RC group gets together a couple of times a week at carpet track, asphalt parking lot, and crawler track. Usually just 6-10 cars at a time on track.

For the asphalt, we set up cones for a mostly LH course usually. Used to do just 5 and 10 lap "races". Now trying variants with a "mouse car" starting half way around the track.

-Hit a cone you are out.
-Mouse catches you, you are out.
-Catch the mouse you win, race ends.
(variation= catch the mouse, you are the new mouse, old mouse is out)

This for now seems a favorite format.

Any other ideas?
 
The Heisenburg Cup League has no motor restriction, but must fit in the stock location, chassis must be stock, battery must mount in stock location and be securely held. No metal bumpers permitted, if your stadium vehicle came with them, they must be removed or swapped out with plastic.
Tyres were the hottest topic. I think I left it as the cost per tyre could not exceed $15 per tyre, retail price.
Use of any electronic aids was not allowed, in fact, the stock remote that your car came with was usually the only one allowed. I made an exception for a wounded Army Veteran, who said his custom control felt better in his hand. He has a bad wrist.
