As dueltracks became popular, the citizens of Amarillo
decided to build a track of their own. It was not until 2043 that the AADA
sanctioned the track. When that happened, the track became part of the
Shooting Stars Racing Circuit and gained a level of popularity that continues
to this day.
The Dueltrack offers racers and spectators
some of the best BBQ in Texas. Some people come to the track just to have
lunch at the BBQ Track & Grill, an on-site restaurant. The Dueltrack
is closed only for Monday maintenance and a two-week period during Christmas.

Tournaments - Amarillo hosts several tournaments throughout the year. The tournaments range from amateur, professional, regional, national, international, corporate, government, and college. Check the track schedule for further details.
BBQ - All racers can bring in flame-based weapons. This includes flamethrowers, fireball ammo for RLs, etc. This makes for an event filled with the potential of explosions and flaming debris as fire damage reaches gas tanks and engines. Usually held once a month, sometimes more if attendance gets low. Prestige is tripled for this event.
Gas - Held at least once a week to liven up the races. Crowds love to see these cars fly around the track, powered by fuel refined in their nation of Texas. Prestige is doubled.
Mixed - This event pits gas and electric cars against each other. Surprisingly, the gas cars win on a regular basis, but the electric cars have the advantage in much more durable power plants.
