I suddenly had an urge to see auto racing in SL, and checked my events list on the off chance there might be such, and what do ya know, there was! I dropped in on the Tahiti International Raceway which is floating up above Tahiti Isle. As you might expect, sitting above a Mall is lag hell, but the race track is cool, and the racing scripts (I believe written by Gremlin Glitterbuck) are very nice — keep track of average speed, order of finish, etc. This has some potential. More pics follow.
Screw the Indy cars. Screw formula one. I want that!

And if your vehicle is crap like mine and breaks down, there is this rig to pull it off the track.

I confess that the .wav files could use some work. The cars sound a bit like remote control model airplanes.
