Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday, although Easter has made me a little late with this one. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 馃榾

The prompt this week is - "A Day At The Races"
Racing seems to be something all human societies have done. How is it in your setting ? Is there an arena for chariot racing ? Is there a track that horses, elephants, camels or cars career around ? Are there hoops in the sky or in space for one-man racing flyers ? And is racing a solo endeavour, or are there organised teams with their own insignia, colours and rivalries ? How are the animals or machines chosen, trained and ranked ? Is the inevitable gambling regulated, state controlled or underground ? Tell me a tale of racing in your world !
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
Some other neat communities for writing that you might want to check out are:
It can be a lot of fun to mix and match our prompts with some of these other community prompts.
