Race your car, win and take home the cash pot.

Here is some info that I got off their site:

V-Drag™ Racing System

Using patented, innovative roller technology, the Showdown USA V-Drag™ Racing System gives the audience and drivers the excitement and energy of high performance drag racing inside major arenas across the country. From the comfort of your seat you see every burnout, every hole shot, and every checkered flag. It’s match racing like you’ve never seen it before.


Cars are secured on the V-Drag™ platform with their drive wheels positioned on specially designed rollers. At the green light both cars accelerate and the system records performance of both drivers over a quarter mile. Racers must use their best driving skills and extract the highest performance from their cars and motorcycles to win. Miss a shift…you lose. Too much wheel spin at the starting line…you lose. Over-rev your engine and it can blow up.

A high definition graphic representation of the race is shown on the display. It electronically deciphers the real progress of the racers and then accurately depicts it through on-screen animation. At the finish line, the audience sees each car’s speed and elapsed time as well as RPM, trap speed, and other data.



Vehicle Retention – The system utilizes roller platforms that allows several cars or motorcycles to drag race while remaining in a stationary position. The cars are secured by series of winches and straps that hold the car from two directions to keep the drive wheels positioned over the rollers. The system provides resistance to simulate the real track conditions of a street or drag strip. As the competitor's cars exert force to turn the rollers positioned under their tires, the system collects data to determine reaction times, elapsed time (E.T.) and speed over a distance.

Do they let just anybody "run" or is it more of a touring road show? I watched the video on the website and it looked more like a WWF event than something I would want to attend.
