    The timer counts down in the pre-game lobby and the familliar last "ding" sounds signaling the start of the game at 0 seconds. You quick hop on your mongoose to beat your opponents to the tunnel. You use your dexterity and skill to drive through the tunnel without catching the sides and cautiously drift across the cliffhanger as you watch your comrades fall to their doom. Upon the next turn, you have the choice of the safe tunnel or dangerous path, but you, of course, take the risk missing the flying explosives by a mere second. The next turn takes you to the cross section where you land a 10 foot drop and drive under the tunnel you mastered just moments ago. This is the final stretch, just a few boxes left and a simple drive by of the finish line leads you over a ramp to start the next lap...

    Truly a marvel among maps, COB Speedway is a top-of-the-line figrue 8 racer with not too much, nor too little. I started this map a little over 4 months ago and have gone through at least 12 updated versions and many MANY tests.

    this map has everything (except any money remaining...lol) including:
    - Flying Explosives
    - Obstacles
    - Flying Objects
    - A Deadly Cliff Hanger
    - Multiple laps
    - and much more!

    I made this map alone and it has been tested many times by me and my friends.

    THIS MAP IS VIRTUALLY UNCHEATABLE WHILE RIDING A MONGOOSE AND OTHER THAN SITTING ON THE FINISH LINE, IS CHEAT FREE!!! YOU CANNOT SKIP AHEAD TO ANOTHER PART OF THE MAP WHILE RIDING A MONGOOSE.
    what that means for you is that anything other than walking on foot to cross a shield door and then stealing an opponent's mongoose or sitting in a mongoose on the finish line (which would be really dumb), there is virtually no way to cheat which is good because there is always that one person who skips ahead and ruins the fun.

    This map is to be played with MONGOOSE 500 . This game accomidates 8 people (8 mongoose) and every one must be on a different team inorder to be a VIP and collect laps as they pass over the finish line. First to five laps wins.
    My friends and I have had hours of fun on this map and I hope it does the same for you.

    Here at Forge Hub, at least one embedded picture has to be included in the original post. So here's how to do it:

    First, go to Bungie.net to your page. Find the Screenshot Viewer, and double click the screenshot which you choose to upload. When you do this, an option should pop up asking you what you want to do with the file. Your screen should look like this:
    [​IMG]
    Click Save to Desktop, or wherever you would like to save it to.

    Next, go to a site like Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket to host your image. If you do not have an account, create one. When you have your account made, go to your photo album. There is a blue bar that says "Choose files" that should look like this:
    [​IMG]
    Click that blue bar, where the red arrow points to(arrow added for dramatic effect). Upload from wherever you saved the file.

    Now, after the file has uploaded, scroll down the page to your picture's thumbnail. There is a list of options, like this:
    [​IMG]
    Copy the highlighted link, or direct link where the arrow is. And yes, that is Chris Hanson

    Last step is coming back to here, where you enter the final direct link into the code( [ img]link[ /img] ) without the spaces. Hopefully, that hepls you out. Any questions, PM me

    As good as this track is it seems that you can cheat by sitting idle inside the VIP point. Try using man cannons to shoot you over the point after reaching it so you can't sit idle. If you do that, may I suggest making the point taller, nothing would be infuriating than missing the point because a mechanic to prevent cheating and remove honor rules.

    Speed-e-cake, I considered that too but unfortunatly have used all of my money. What I did is make scoring only available once per vip zone and the destination resets every 30 seconds, just about enough time to go completely around the track. Im still attempting to solve though. im trying a new thing right now, brb

    I like the way it is and loitering is the only way to cheat. it doesnt really matter anyways because the area changes every 30 seconds and my average lap time is 37 seconds
