WHY 1:24 CARNIVAL COMP RULES?
Because the 1:24 is not the main attraction of the event and there will be many people with varied abilities–many who have never comp'd before–the goal is to make it a bit like a carnival attraction. Everyone can have fun and see what kind of time they can put down. Because there is the potential for large crowds, we need a way to speed it up and allow for as many people as possible to participate. That's why the goal is to have the fast time. We'll still have gates that should make it fun and test your abilities, but you will feel the need to keep moving forward and not stare in amazement at your beautiful slow crawl
