We had six guys travel from Chicago to Peoria to play in the regional championships at a 3D Hammer Downs arena.

It was hosted by the Peoria Piledrivers and I seem to recall it was at Micro Machine scale.

One guy in our group took one of the bottom ramps at a speed WAY over what was needed to make the jump. Additionally, he was on fire. He ended up flying out of the arena. While he was airborne, he managed to avoid exploding. The phase he hit the ground, he failed his explosion roll. Could not have planned that better. I'm sure the video in the Car Wars universe is still played on the Best Of shows.

Another notable one was where two guys who were driving in succession jumped off the ramp. The guy in front peppered the guy behind in mid air as did another player jumping pretty much at the same time from a perpendicular ramp.

When front guy landed, he triggered his HDID. Guy in rear had to make a control roll on landing that was close to a D-infinity roll.

Good times but a game like that would take all day (even if we could drum up enough players.)
