I’m looking for 38 drivers, set to replicate a race at Langhorne Speedway in 1953 in the Nascar Series.
This race happened on June 21st, 1953, and it is a remarkable race, not simply for the racing, but for it’s cars and drivers, you had your typical Hudson’s, Lincoln’s and Oldsmobile’s, but you also had your Jaguar’s, your Porsche’s, and even one VW Beetle.

Frank Arford, lost his life in this race during Qualifying as well.
This is a dirt track race, and while it seems like we wouldn’t be able to fit 38 drivers, we can do so outside of a race, in free roam. The Track will be Langhorne SPDWY at the Quarry, we will have qualifying before the race.
Depending on interest, this race will be scheduled to happen on August 4th, 2019 at 3pm Mountain Standard Time.
ALL CARS WILL BE C 600, I will be making the tunes, and everyone must use the tunes.
Some cars had to be “time traveled” in order for us to have enough cars, and still have cars that looked properly in place, Fords, Mercury’s and Austin Healey’s did not race in this specific race, they did however race in other races during the season, so it would be fair to have them here. Some car’s numbers were bumped up in order fit the field of 38 drivers. There will be a prize of one rare car and 5 million credits.
If there are no cars left and you still would like to take part, you can work as a scorekeeper! Scorekeepers will get 150k Credit rewards for their participation!
Cars will be on Tire Wear, there will be a designated pit area, you will go in there, (at the time there was no pit road speedlimit, so there won’t be here) and change your tires after coming to a complete stop, then you can fast travel on the SAME SPOT to change them.
If you deliberately wreck someone, you will be automatically disqualified. Also try not to wreck the fences.
