It looks cool. I really like the red.
Whatever you do though, make sure you make them as synchronized as possible!

I had to save it in the old 1.31 editor to get the gray Moderntimes environment.

Oh, I first read "Race Thru the Clouds" and hoped for a recreation... However, the ride looks cool!

... i really wanna make a racing woody right now.

Looking good cool5, when ever i've built racing coasters i build them in such a way that they synchronise. Painfully testing and adjusting constantly. Like my ride ShadesOfAsh. How are you going to make them sync now without adding brakes here there and everywhere?

if you're referring to my ride Blood, thanks! I really enjoyed making that. I'll use that as the basis IF I do make a racing woody. I've done a fair few racers in my 10 years on NL which i've never submitted. Which are now lost because i've upgraded from Windows to my new iMac and never transferred any old files. But i'm seriously considering a new woody racer/dueller.

Yeah they took me ages to make. Got to the stage where the less vertexs was almost better (I hand build). It's about a year old now. I never uploaded it here. Wonder how it'll rate? If you look at it from top view you'll see what a squeeze into the contest template it was!

Yea I remarked that,but like said it even has a Warparound Corkscrew(which is one of my favorite elements),great coaster,I'm sure you haveother unuploaded masterpieces...
Just a little question:When you build that woodie,will it have a vertical first drop like Blood?

still no rate on Shades Of Ash... :(

Dunno if i'll put a vertical drop on it if i'm going to do it Racer/Dueller style, maybe really steep near-vertical drops.
