Since it's boring to predetermine who will win and show the other one up ..how do you feel about rolling the dice.
1= some obstruction in the way-fall back
2= hit some object/ other vehicle and have to slow down
3= damage or roll you own car (depending at what stage in the race)
4= hit the opponents car and slow them down that way
5= take the lead
6= short cut- be a great distance ahead

Once one of the racers reaches 20 or 25...he/she wins.

There's an online dice roll www.roll-dice-online.com/

And for the ones among you who like to get physical...a fight chart

Just roll a real or virtual dice.
1= miss
2= trip the other person
3= punch in the gut
4= punch in the face
5= cut or deeper wound
6= break some bone

The one who reaches 20 first wins.

The only thing with that is that it operates on an honor system, which I'm sure we're all mature enough to abide by. But we've had our share of kids coming through here and having their character do outrageous things...just sayin Nonetheless I think that's the best possible system we could put into place...

Here's my suggestion though to make things slightly simplified. In a race, each player gets three posts each that pertain to the race itself, and with each post they roll the dice once. After both players have made their three posts, the player with the highest combined value from the dice roll wins. The player will also post according to their dice roll. So if you roll a 1 or a 2, you could say anything from you hit a pothole, made a driver error, car sputtered, etc. Whereas if you roll a 5 or a 6 then you just turned into Michael Schumacher for that set of corners or something...lol

Proboards used to have a dice roll code that you could put in so you could see the dice roll in the post. >,<
