Going the Distance
Playing Aid

by Kenneth Van Pelt


Here is a game playing aid for Going the Distance. While not essential, this sheet shows how you can set up a team control sheet to keep track of your NASCAR team throughout a racing season. The garage pips you see at the bottom right are not covered in the rules. They are currently an idea we are playtesting at Lion's Den Games. The concept is to start the season of racing with a set revenue for each team. The players would have to manage the team and its' allotted resources to succeed in the long haul of a racing season. The area covered by this text would have artwork or team logo, or even NASCAR logo's - copyright dictates that it not be printed here as part of our product.

The track marshal is the player in charge of keeping track of all of the small details that take place during the race. This is another players aid for the game "Going The Distunce." This sheet shows you how we keep track of the racing data that is generated in the game. The track marshal does not need to keep any of these stats, however, they add to the enjoyment of the game. Here is a glance at a Track Fact Sheet from one of our recent races:
