Roddenberry Racing
Complex
Las Vegas, Nevada
Designed by
the same team that
did the Iowa City Speedway, the Roddenberry is a double speedway
complex,
allowing two races to be done at the same time. Actual construction was
done by
the developers of the old Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las
Vegas.
Named
after the creator of Star Trek, the Roddenberry runs a normal season
from April
to October but is open all year. Races include cars, trikes, cycles,
hovercraft, and racing bodies. The Roddenberry is part of the Hot
Asphalt and
Star Trek Circuits.
Track Features:
Outer walls are 30 feet high and
have 150 DP. Track walls are 3 feet high and have 100 DP.
Grandstands hold 30,000
Defenses:
Located around the track are
universally turreted x-ray lasers with 100 points of armor each.
Tracks:
The upper arrowhead track is 15
feet higher than the lower circular track. All track surfaces are paved
though
the tracks themselves are not connected. The arrowhead track is
three-tenths of
a mile while the circle track is .3416 of a mile.
Track Rules:
All dropped weapons are banned
from the Complex. Direct fire weapons are limited to zero to four
spaces per
division and event. Combat begins after one lap is complete in the
typical five
lap event. No temporary speed boosters (nitrous oxide, rocket boosters,
etc)
and no turrets and EWP/REWPs.

Special Events:
Star Trek related races - Teams
take on Star Trek names such as Federation, Klingons, Dominion, Borg,
etc.
Usually held on Star Trek related dates such as birthdays and
anniversaries.
Warp Speed Trials - This is an unlimited
class event, with the only distinction between racers being those with
temporary speed boosters and no boosters. The objective of the race is
to clock
the fastest lap while dealing with competitors who are trying to do the
same
thing.
Booster racers will
start the race
at zero, and combat isn't allowed until one lap is completed. Booster
racers
compete only with other booster racers. Non-boosted racers start at 100
mph and
start combat after the first lap is completed.
During warp trials
racers employ a
variety of vehicle designs, ranging from Indy cars to pickup trucks.
Warp
trials are held at least once a month, or once a week if enough
vehicles are
available. The fastest drivers have their name posted on the Warp
Factor Wall
of Fame.
Two in One - Racers competes in a race on each track in the same day.
Each racer must have a vehicle for both races. Prestige is double if a
racer
completes both tracks and prestige is tripled if a racer wins on both.
Reflex roles are at -1
on the second race.
