Idea: Death Race 2000-style race events. Still have what we have now...
Two types of cars can be owned: The ones we have now, and ones with weapons. Players can race, upgrade weapons, or just watch and bet.
Betting is available on placement just like horse races. You can bet on who's going to be last, or first, or you can bet the trifecta if there's at least 10 cars entered.
Player can have a selection of drivers, and no two drivers offer the same skill set. One driver may have high competence in handling, while another driver may have a high competence in drag-racing or machine guns.
