We’re barely a week away from MOTOR CITY MAYHEM, and it’s time to tell you glorious racers about our outline of events! All events will take place on Saturday, starting at 10 am. Sign up ahead of time will be available at the Post Office, though spots will be available at race time too. Let’s crack into it!
10 AM - The First Ride Ceremony
A coming of age ceremony for young DJs that have finished building their first ride - but all are welcome to participate! Bring your rides to show off in a leisurely spin around town, and celebrate this momentous occasion with these blossoming gearheads.
OOG Info: This will be a chance to show off the physical cardboard rides you’ve made, pageant style. Think Woodward Dream Cruise, old car shows, etc! A great for non-combatants and blue bands.
11 AM - Race 1: The Tri-Race-Athlon
Three checkpoints to hit, with a different challenge at every turn. Prepare yourself well, you’ll never know what’s coming next.
OOG Info: This race will include a physical running element and combat. It will take place on the forested trails. Please wear appropriate footwear and clothing so you do not injure yourself.
12 PM - Pit Stop Punch-A-Thon
Get ready for a BAD BRAIN BEATDOWN. No weapons, no armor, just punch. Bring yourself and we’ll provide the Pitstop and brawlers. Can you go a whole round with a raider? Prove once and for all who is the superior organism.
OOG Info: This is a combat event. Guides will provide PCs brawlers. Please be kind to the NPC playing our Pitstop and remember that combat is lightest touch.
1:30 PM - Stunt Spectacular
We want to see your SICKEST TRICKS and your COOLEST RIDES. Prepare a rad stunt that’ll make the judges lose their mind, or show off the craftsmanship on your sweet ride. Rewards will go to the NASTIEST of participants.
OOG Info: Another great event for non-combatants. Show off your physical cardboard rides, or do a fun trick to impress the judges. Stunts can be as simple as spinning in circles, or coordinating a fun routine. Please remember that safety comes first, and stunts that may cause harm to you or others are prohibited.
4 PM - Race 2: Obstacle Course
Can you face the obstacles hurdling at you? We’re not talking about life, we’re talking about RACING! This is a full course of things to run through, hop over, and burn tires on. Oh- and you better get ready to be shot at!
OOG Info: This is a physically demanding, timed obstacle course race. Please wear shoes and costuming that is appropriate for the safety of yourself and others.
7 PM - Race 3: Dusk Dread
Group up in teams of three— made of a veteran racer, a journeyman, and fresh face— for this final gripping event. Race against the clock and each other for an off-road scavenger hunt like none you’ve ever seen before. Don’t forget your weapons, you are going into the Wasteland!
OOG Info: This is a team event, with a group of three people needed to participate. Where possible, have a team with one player over 180 build, one over 50 build, and one under 50 build. This event may involve combat and CVC. You may be on multiple terrains, so please wear appropriate shoes and costuming for the safety of yourself and others.
Need a ride? We’ll have a Build-A-Ride station set up for townsfolk Friday night, so you join in the rip-roaring fun.
So, you think you’ll have enough to do at MOTOR CITY MAYHEM? We think so too. Gear up, paint flames on your ride, and change your oil- or don’t, we’re not your mom.
