This jeep race will be a team challenge.  Teams will be split halfway through the alphabet.  Lower alphabet team and upper alphabet team.  This will be done to quickly assign teams.  The goal is to get all members of the team to the finish. 

We'll be using the Baltic map.  Both teams will spawn from V15 in sector 6,11 on the west side.  To increase the challenge, one team will spawn first and hold with engines off.  Once the first team spawns completely, the CM's will change the country of the Vbase and the second team will spawn and hold engines off.  Guns will be turned off.  After both teams have spawned, then all jeeps will move to a starting line abreast as possible with engines off.  On a text and spoken command, players will start engines and race to the city strat.

Teams will only be able to see icons of teammates.  Opposing team jeeps will disappear from view in the woods and suburbs.  Each team will have one player flying overhead in a goon with vehicle supplies.  The goons will also serve as scouts for paths through the suburbs.  Players should have advanced detail on for terrain.  Once in the suburbs, open grassy areas can quickly turn into ponds.

Players running into water will be stuck and unable to complete the race.  Vehicle supplies will not correct that event.  This race will be also using a scoring system for the teams.  Each team member getting to the finish will be awarded 5 points for the team.  Each player driving into a water hazard will incur a -10 point penalty for the team. 

After all racers have completed the race or doing the back stroke, the team with the most points win.  Below is a link for the route of the suburb portion of the race.

Racers must drive through the centers of each strat in the order shown.  Actual route is up to the players.  Any player trying to circumvent outside the suburbs will incur -20 point penalty for the team.  Radar factory, AAA factory, Industrial center, Fuel refinery, Troop facility, and Ammo factory.

I would like to thank SheGotya and marshal for hosting these events.

Hope to see a large turnout for this one.

There will be 4 bridges that all jeeps will have to cross on this route so the Goon drivers will have their work cut out for them.

We will call the Goon Drivers the Team Captains. If anyone is intrested in being a Team Captain please reply.

Congrats go out to the team of Viper61 for winning the event!!!!!!

Many people found out how hard it is to navigate the suburbs of the city strat.  Everthing looks easy from the air but once on the ground many streets come to an end.  A few wound up driving into the ponds throughout the city.

Many thanks go out to SheGotYa and Marshal for hosting these events.

I would encourage more personnel to try the jeep races once a month.  Lots of fun.

<S> to Marshal and SheGotya for all of the back side support.
