Green: US Muscle Mash

This Clifton Valley Mini-Circuit is 3-Laps on Asphalt, and is restricted to Class-C cars manufactured in the United States before 1977.

Because of the very short length of this track even though it has three laps it is still a very brief race and brisk run, which means you have to fight your way to the front of the pack as fast as you can.

If that means trading paint then trade paint, but the good news is that as is often the case, once you are out in front and you only have to race against the track (and not the other drivers) it gets a lot easier to stay there and to win.

A rather cool race filled with muscle cars, which means you get to race with some of the better cars though perhaps not drivers...

The dual nature of the race and its feel begins to become more pronounced with this and future races in that what you find is the combination of the other cars in the pack and their forcing you to use whatever part of the track is available represents the first “style” or feel to the race.

Once you are through the pack and they are no longer a concern, you are able to more easily pick the parts of the track you use, which changes the feel of the race in a significant fashion, so that you end up racing more against yourself -- and the track -- than against the other drivers.

More to the point, once the other cars in the race can no longer interfere with your racing the event goes from being a tense (more or less) battle to being a pleasantly stimulating race.
