I remember it being all about which track lane you drew (random). The cars were hyper-engineered at home by all the kids' dads, but the track was a POS that was stored up in an attic with uneven lanes, ruts, uneven joints and dust still on it. One lane was clearly faster than the others.

I'd say have ONE track (no side-by-side races) and it all comes down to time - apples to apples.

Oh well... I have to say the cars I built with my dad were among the coolest looking - very european 20s/30s roadster look styling to a couple of them. Way cooler than most. Unfortunately no prizes for style.
