The NASCAR Heat Racing League is excited to announce its eighth Signature Event, the Shortie Shootout.
The event will occur this week on Friday the 28th at 8:30 PM ET and consist of 6 consecutive shootout-style races in the Vintage Modifieds mod. Overall, the festivities will include about 200 laps across some of the best, shortest, and most popular short tracks from The Mod Squad and elsewhere. The event will also feature several unique rules, like a single fixed setup and starting grid reversals. Competitors are required to connect to our Ventrilo server for the night.
Please feel free to ask questions about the event. We'll also be posting some final details as we get closer to the date.
NHRL Signature Events are an ongoing, season-less series of special exhibition races conducted at alternative courses in non-league-series mods. In some cases, the rules, formats, or other particularities may also differ significantly from standard league activities. The possibilities for NHRL Signature Events are truly limitless, so we invite members of the general community to join the discussion on our forum and take an active role in shaping their ever-evolving schedule.
Similar to what we've done with IROC, where each setup has a sprint gear and a fuel gear, the 3rd and 4th gears here are raceable. However, in the case of the Shortie Shootout, the main purpose in staggering the gears is to accommodate tracks ranging in size from 0.333 to 0.6 miles.
