I just pulled out my Car Wars set from the basement and am relearning the rules (a la Compendium 2nd Ed.) Here is a question that I have never quite figured...
... IIRC the stock dragsters and funny cars also have wrong acceleration. I think it's something like 25-30 mph. And I think that the highest acceleration...
If the last point of damage to a tire is caused by a hazard, such as a skid or debris, or by spikes or an FG, only the tire is lost. If the last point of...

I just noticed something. According to Compendium 2ed rules, a passenger in a bus takes up 2 spaces and 200 lbs. Is this errata? Because it would mean that a...
