I think in that scenario you have to cater to everyone at the table, even if it's on multiple levels. Bend the rules, get fantastical, and tell everyone up front that this won't be a typical Car Wars game.

I YEARS ago was visiting SoCal and played a CW game with Rob Hagmaier at his house with his gaming buds. It just so happened that all his crew needed a slight rule variant break and so they added a heavy Munchkin element to that particular game. I hadn't heard of Munchkin at the time, but was happy to roll with it, and ended up having a ton of fun.

EDIT: and speaking of Hagmaier, here's a rad link to some (arena) design advice:

saw your link, that's for car design not arena design :) still a good read.

I did dig out my old AADA survival guide, for the West Coast, found a couple named arenas in Stockton and Tuolome (the latter sounds like an offroad arena) so those are strong candidates for next year's events. I also know of a couple small paved tracks and some motorcross style tracks in my area that I may appropriate for arenas.
