oh, and can we make the tracks a little wider as well. this way you could have enough room for multiple players to race each other as well as the best time :)

Booyaa. I agree. The racetracks rock. Totally.

Um, that's a "Yes, me too" vote.

Watch out, spellcast, he'll explode on you if you suggest anything. He just wants you to answer the petition.

I'd like to see a racetrack stay too, with a permanent or semi-permanent scoreboard.
Please keep your comments helpful and supportive folks.

I don't see why they wouldn't. They probably won't be preserved in the form they are in now, but I can easily see a track with a nearby station in which you can pay an entry fee and sign up for the next regularly scheduled race, viewing 'stands', advertising boards, a standings board, an all time records board, security 'guards', possibly some means to place bets, and so forth. There could be a half dozen or so such sectors scattered about and possibly the guides could moderate an occasional 'racing tour' pitting champions against each other.
My suspicion is that the whole purpose of the race tracks is to start doing basic testing of a 'mission structure' and/or scripting language for same. The check points and so forth are probably just a first step toward some fraction of the above features.
Similar ideas could apply to gladitorial arenas.

First of all.. i've been supporting racing for a very very long time.
Second.. I want wider tubes and bot opponents, special ships, organized racing, obstacles, ect. But that's all in the future. i think the devs have done 1 hell of a job so far.

Boy, that would have been a good idea!
Seriously, it isn't part of the mission system at all, but that's an excellent idea; we can test missions before missions are "done" simply by making racing missions. (Beat 60 seconds, and you win the Advanced Racer Award! Good for 10% discounts on Valkyries and Centurions!)
If anything, it's just a demonstration of how powerful the scripting system we have is, and how easy it is to throw together stuff like this. Lua is really an excellent language.

A bit of Vendetta Racing history:
Back before 3.0 came out, many players would race their ships, using turbo-tapping as a major measure of skill. Races would run between the station in Deathmatch (now 7), down the tube, out the rocks to the gate (now the 7-10 gate), into the connector sector, and win with the first person to reach the station there. At the league's peak it was myself, Private Pile, Whistler and whomever else was present.
Maybe you can make a maze next. That'd be fun. Even more fun if the walls are translucent.
A1k0n: Thank you. It's been over a year since the original Vendetta Racing League, and it is a pleasure to see that it lives on. :D
