I'm having a blast with week 13 this season, namely Dirt Ridiculousness.
I know a lot of people don't have much use for week 13 and that's understandable. Being that a lot of the series are unofficial, racing in week 13 invites some chaotic behavior. The "Ridiculousness" races are no exception, in fact they may be more chaotic than most others due the the fact that they contain a huge, multi-class field.
For me that's a good thing; I believe it's more useful than some people make it out to be (despite also being a ton of fun).
We don't have dirt AI (yet), and there aren't many ways to race dirt ovals without fear of a potential IR or SR hit.
In my opinion the most useful thing about these races are to be able to drive a new car in anger and get practice avoiding wrecks and potential incidents. Just finishing one of these races is an achievement. And managing to do so without any incident points is nearly impossible.
In Dirt Ridiculousness we have the winged and non-winged sprint cars, mini stock, UMP Modified, Late Model, and my personal favorite the 358 Big Block. There's a huge range of performance in that roster. And a huge range of skill in the drivers.
I know dirt oval participation is typically pretty low. The highest series last season was the Micro Winged Sprint Cars with 45,895. (For
comparison, the Rookie Mazdas have close to a million participants at 963,197). Stats from here
Hopefully if more people try dirt and see how much fun it is, they spend some time racing in the regular season. That's my plan!
Your spotter is going to have a heart attack, but you're gonna love it.
