Road Ripper Race at Power-Con 2012

**TheShadow** · August 23, 2012, 02:48pm

This year, MOTUC and Power-Con celebrates 30 years of Masters of the Universe. But, do you still have what it took on the playground to prove you had the power? Now is your chance.

Come join us to show your support for vehicles in MOTUC with Josh Bolling's Road Ripper Race at Power-Con 2012. The race will occur on Saturday, September 22 from 6:30pm - 7:00pm.

To participate in the race, you must bring your own working Road Ripper with you to the convention. The contest will be conducted in the hallway outside the vendor room near the bar. Random MOTUC prizes will be given to the winners!

Ok, this is just plain awesome! Can't wait to watch this!

**Mern-Ra** · August 23, 2012, 02:54pm

This is brilliant.

**KUZEH** · August 23, 2012, 02:54pm

Awesome!!!
I don't have one... I'll see if I can score one for cheap with one of the vendors!!!
Can we include a pilot with the Ripper?

**scar1321** · August 23, 2012, 03:02pm

Hmmmm... I'll have to look in to trying this!

I'll have to give mine a spin this weekend.

Dunno the real answer, but it would seem to me a pilot would weigh it down and make it slower.

They should make this open to Dragstors too. Heck, even Orko.

DARNITDARNITDARNIT!!!

I just packed my vintage stuff up for a move, and have no idea where my Road Ripper is.

Oh well, I'll just have to buy another one! I can't miss this!

**Stygian360** · August 23, 2012, 05:50pm

This has the potential to be magical. Racers... to the starting line!

**JafariStew** · August 23, 2012, 05:55pm

This is a very cool idea!

**Penny Dreadful** · August 23, 2012, 06:13pm

This is going to be a blast. Place yer bets!

Always bet on black!

**CrashWatchman** · August 23, 2012, 06:17pm

this looks awesome! I wish I was going and still had a Road Ripper

maaaaann... just looking at that awesomeness makes me wish we had a MOTUC Road Ripper! I know I'd buy one! Loved that thing as a kid

**Count Marzo** · August 23, 2012, 06:20pm

I find this an incredibly HILARIOUS yet inventive idea for Power Con purposes. Good luck to all the drivers. Do they have to put numbers on their Road Rippers? What about sponsors? We don't want this to turn into Nascar right? lol

We need video of this please.....

I guess since the race was my idea I guess I should making rules and what not.

Just throwing this out there. What would be better? Doing it tournament 2v2 drag race style (winner advances to next bracket) or do quickest time overall?

2 questions about that:

1. What do you mean by quickest time? Like everyone would race individually and you'd time it? Cuz I thought everyone would race at once to a finish line....which leads me to my next question....

2. If it is a finish line type of thing, I'd say how to do it would depend on how many people enter. If it's, I dunno, let's say under 10 people, then do it all at once. If it's more than that then do the bracket system.

No matter what this is gonna be great!

**JonWes** · August 23, 2012, 10:20pm

Gonna be so awesome...
