Hello!

1. I'm in SE NH, close to the Mass border. The event is in April every year, and I usually start planning around the end of January. If you message me around that timeframe, I'll try and get you in the mix.

2. The cars are my own designs. They would probably make the hard core Car Wars designer cringe, but they are D25 and I am shooting for "internal balance".

This -generally- means they are somewhat lightly armored (no metal), have a higher acceleration (to limit downtime if they come to a stop or reduced speed), and accurate firepower. Compromises are definitely made to keep players on roughly even footing.

I try to get somewhat WYSIWYG within reason. Fake ram plates and blow through concealment should have a purpose!

It has been fine tuned over the years, and I am pretty happy with where things stand now. Hoping to have a pool of around 40 cars for next year.

Most of the cars are Jada brand, so a bit bigger than matchbox/hot wheels.
