Drop Dead Arena
Biloxi, Mississippi
The Drop Dead Arena is so named because the southwest side opens onto
a cliff side. A vehicle kill can be scored by ramming or forcing a foe over
the side, an event much liked by audience and management alike. Additionally,
the arena is tilted 10 degrees towards the cliff side, making the dueling
environment a bit more interesting. Part of the Dixie Duel Circuit, the
Drop Dead is located across the river from the Blast Furnace Arena.

on the south side of the arena, facing downhill. Dropped weapons are banned
from this event. The first racer to complete five laps wins.
Lemmings - All duelists must go down to the cliff side and turn around
before weapons can be fired. The duelists' vehicles are equipped with an
electronic weapons arming control, operated by arena officials, to prevent
premature firing.

gates remain lock until there's only one duelist left alive. Only duelists
with clones are allowed to participate, and the event is held twice a year.
