I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a Drag Race competition?
There would be a short course set up (i'm thinking between 5km and 10km)
Open to any ship size, but each ship class would have its own event (providing more than two entrants per event).
And it would be taking place in High sec Lonetrek. Near Nonni.
Entry is 1,000,000 isk with One entry per ship class.
Prizes for the winner of each ship class. Exact prize depends on the number of entrants for that class so the more pilots that compete in a given class, the larger the prize for that class will be.
Post here if you're interested or want clarifications ------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting idea.
I'd like to suggest that 10km is possibly a bit too short. At least for frigates and cruisers, since they reach speeds of 5-10km/s quite easily. But for bigger ships like haulers and battleships it would probably work.
Oh and another thing, everything they say about speed and the proportionality to your wallet, it all becomes valid in a drag race, since it's a pure straight line speed competition. So keep in mind that someone might show up with a set of snakes and beat everyone else.
And since I've been putting on races for a little while now, I quickly spot a slight problem with doing all those classes at once. Basically, you could quickly end up having too few contestants to run them all.
That being said, I like drag races, they're fast and intense, but easy to manage. I will most definitely try to show up in something!
Perhaps I'll dust off my old nano Iteron.

Thanks for your interest. Yes you're right about the distances needing to be sorted out. If I get any more interest other than just you, I'll do some more research.
There's no way of a 3rd party checking what implants someone has is there? so there's not a lot i could do about someone turning up with snake implants. But (especially now) I wouldn't expect (my first) event to be massive so the rewards wouldn't be that appealing to someone so minted. I'm more aiming for the low to mid end of the spectrum.
You're the only one who's shown interest so far, but luckily I was going to have a pop at the Industrial even too :) Although purely from a fun point of view, I wouldn't take part in the actual competition. ------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed there is no way of checking for implants and boosters, and there is going to be someone asking about it sooner or later, so it's good just to get it out of the way.
And concerning classes, I can do any types of frigates, tech 1 cruisers, haulers and such. I'm perfectly happy bringing whatever you think will work out.

I have been reading all the the event postings and this is a general comment for all of them not just this one. I for one would be a bit leary to get into any of them. If I dont personally know the people putting them on--I always assume it will be a scam as scamming is pretty well supported more often than not. :) On a up point, some sound like they would be fun if honestly run--too bad most wouldnt be. :)

Yes I'm aware that people think everything is a scam (I do). It's the intelligent mindset to have in Eve, but i have to start somewhere. Everyone has to earn trust at some point.
But in this instance, only Julius has shown any interest so this clearly isn't my opportunity to earn any trust. ------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, Sareem
