#gunny au velocitron

The reason why it's illegal is because, technically, any competitive motorsport that occurs without a legal regulatory body is. Well. Against the law. And while truck pulls, mudding, rallying, etc. is often ignored on Velocitron, so it's not necessarily enforced, it CAN be and have consequences. Of course, the real reasons are because of classism.

THAT ASIDE. Hold on I just leanred about strongman truck pulling look at this

Now THIS is what we're talking about BABEY. Sawhorse can do this easy. Hot damn.

But I was initially referring to: SLED PULLS. Highly modified tractors and trucks are hooked up to a sled that is incrementally winched closer and closer to the body as they try to pull it a certain amount of feet. (Apparently the weights themselves can be shifted along the body of the sled. Huh)

"Wouldn't this be stupid to do on a desert planet?" Ehh, I'm taking liberties. I'm not immune to BIG TRUCK. Unfortunately. This is the healthiest enrichment for them (not true).

I could keep going about the intricacies of this but at this point I need to throw this in my private doc for AU!Velocitron.

Tell me more about your robit guy(s)

Sawhorse used to go to illegal truck pulling competitions with his buddies out in the desert. He entered one while drunk and placed third, then threw up on the organizer.

Firewall is afraid of heights! This is bad because he is also an airplane! Also, during the war, he got re-engineered to accommodate Sawhorse as a passenger.

velocitron au nonsense under the cut

Delta spirals into the hot sky of Velocitron. It is a maelstrom of highways and defiant stone shoring up and presenting delicate glass structures that take the constant burning sunlight and reflect it elsewhere. The glass is dark in places, but not everywhere, and parts of the city sways with the unrelenting winds that sweep the planet in places civilization is not supposed to be.

And Delta descends, as steeply as it rises. The spooling black tangles of road are rooted in the ground, long since warped from soft sand into glass and rock and alien metals. Here, the roads dig and stretch and dictate. Stone and steel and tinted covers make the buildings here, which are ancient structures that could be fossils, for all that they have been re-developed.

And the surface-- neither above nor below-- it is flat, and it is shaded, it is an interior thing. One must come out of the tunnels of the below, into the hollow of the shell, and then they must climb, if they wish, or slip through the ground-level vents out into the open-- away from the city, to places beyond.
