Glitter Gulch Raceway

Hundreds of miles outside Vegas City, alongside a massive ocean-swollen river about three hundred miles long, the Glitter Gulch Raceway traces a loop of almost five hundred miles through the Badlands. This is holy ground for Dieseljocks. Where the Last Chance Roadhouse offers a controlled setting for fine-tuning machines, the Gulch tests the drivers themselves: banks, rises, and turns matching the river it parallels, with enough raw distance to separate the skilled from the suicidal.
  The Raceway hosts preliminaries for the Guts N Bolts race series and monthly circuit races, allowing Dieseljocks to open up their machines in full view of Vegas investors. Massive metal tanks process plant matter into crude diesel, and the local economy runs on fuel sales, scrap repair parts, race betting, and occasional vehicle sales. The atmosphere combines the adrenaline rush of a combat zone with the flash of a Vegas City gambling hall: fast motors, heavy gambling, and high ordnance flying. It is enough of an attraction to support a handful of small businesses, and more gambling per mile than Murderer's Mile itself.
  That trackside economy has done what busy places tend to do: it has put its name on things. Gear stamped "Glitter Gulch" now travels the blueprint trade well beyond the Badlands, and it reads like the circuit that made it. The marque's centerpiece is the Raider-Ride, a vehicle that lets a driver carry a fellow Society member along to buy off the trade routes for a little extra local coin, the kind of arrangement that turns a race machine into a rolling business. Around it sit the firearms a raceway crowd expects, the quick Dartgun and a Shotgun built for two heavy blasts, along with the Buck Shot that trades a long reload for a dozen fast rounds. The quieter half of the line keeps the small businesses running: shipping containers that double how long trade goods keep, and a prep station that speeds a kitchen when there is a skilled hand to help. It is a marque built the way the Gulch was, out of speed, ordnance, and the practical business of keeping a remote circuit fed.
