A video in review is a race that the two participants disagreed on the winner. A race that is closed is a race that was had and a winner was determined. An accepted race is a race that was accepted by the challenged racer.

What is a Callout?

A Callout is a challenge you create for another member. You pick the opponents, cars, location, and proof method (video or link). Each side confirms the finish, so results stay fair and transparent. If the users vote different people won the race than the community votes based on your video evidence. You can race for fun, cash, or even pink slips. If you choose cash you will have to register as a vendor and the house takes 5%. Once the loser of the race visits his race details he chooses to pay the debit and can pay using the cart. Of course you can also exchange payment in person but this is a way to hold members of the community accountable if they do not pay.

How Callouts work (step-by-step)

1. Pick who you’re calling out
   Find a member, then open Call Out a Member.
2. Select the cars
   Choose your car and your opponent’s car from each garage.
3. Set the basics
   • Race type (e.g., heads-up, roll, dig)
   • Location (country, state, city, county)
   • Target date/time (optional)
   • Privacy (public or invite-only)
4. Add media
   • Upload race videos or paste a video link (YouTube, etc.).
   • Each racer can attach their own clip.
5. Send the Callout
   Your opponent gets an Accept button. When they accept, the Callout becomes active.
6. Race & report
   After the race, each driver selects who won and hits Confirm. Both confirmations lock the result.
7. Share or keep it low-key
   Post it to your profile/groups—or keep the recap just between you two. Your choice.

Tip: Want your build in front of more eyes? Make your Callout public and share it in groups.

FAQs

Can I upload my own video and my opponent upload theirs?
Yes—each racer can add their own clip or link for clear proof.

What if we disagree on the winner?
Results finalize when both racers confirm. If you disagree a process kicks in where the details are sent to the communities activity stream and after 10 votes if one user has more than 90% of the votes they are declared the winner. If nobody still meets the barrier than the race is declared un-callable and nobody wins.

Do Callouts have to be public?
No. You can set privacy to invite-only.

Can I run Callouts without racing for money?
Absolutely. Callouts can be just for fun and clout.
