Two years ago my friend Burrell and I put on the Abecedarian Proxy, and last year I almost started a hot rod, King Of The Road proxy. The truth is, I got burned out on slot racing and postponed the event. Well now I am re-born, digitally, into the "cult of the basement" and Burrell and I want to do another proxy. BTW, probably won't do a hot rod race since the cars are now so hard to get.
I have not seen a digital proxy and so I am asking for your ideas on how to realize something that is in somewhat unchartered territory. My ideas so far: Carrera digital track, same driver on each lane for entire event, each driver changes lanes at will, "ghost" car on track for at least half the race, fuel stop(s) required if host has pit lane. Cars will be basically stock, with blue-printing, and urethane tire change allowed.
Not sure about magnets; my preference is for weight added, with no magnets, but in a race like this allowing the rear magnet, or front magnet (not both!) might make sense.
So what are your thoughts? Is a digital proxy a non-starter, is the idea of lane changes that vary with each car a deal breaker? Feel free to add new ideas and indicate if you would participate in a proxy race like this.
