EVENTS
The event is really random as per every episode, but any game that uses the lake and/or many players is always the last two for teams to compete. Each has a special vehicle used, and sometimes they use more than one player.
Long Field Race (ATV, XR-80, Cubs) - In this race, players will tour a three-lap course on the vehicles allowed for the event. Only one person is allowed to race for each team. The team had to deal with Hair-Pin Alley and Horse Shoe spinning throughout the race. The person who crossed the finish line first will win first place.
Short Field Competition (ATV, XR-80, Cubs) - Similar to Long Course, participants must take the shorter route at Maximum Drive Course. Only this time they have to ride for five laps until they reach the finish line.
Argo (Argos Only) - Six-wheeled vehicles are used for this event only. Players will tour the other courses in the Maximum Drive course leading to two mud holes called "Bog" and "Gator Pit". They will drive for three laps in the field, and this event can use one or two players from each team to play.
Slam Dunk (Wave Runner Only) - Slam Dunk is one of two water events of the entire series. All three players will participate in this game. The goal is to send one player on the Yamaha Wave Runner to pick up a float ball from two colleagues on a rafter at Maximum Drive Lake and put it in a tube. If the ball enters the tube, they will get points. There are three balls (2 yellow & 1 red) and they have up to 90 seconds to score. If the ball falls into the water, they can pick it up for the time to allow it; but if it fails, they must move to the next ball. The team with the most ball in the tube will get first place.
Soccer (Only ATV) - Drive Maximum Soccer Style. In the middle of the field, one player from each team will try to knock down three giant bean bag balls into the goal line. Each one they get is worth 1 point, but they only have one shot with each ball and they have 40 seconds to finish it.
Rally BMX (Mountain Bike Only) - In this event all players participate and they will ride Mountain Bike at Pin Pin Hair Course. They have three laps to complete before completion, and the rank is determined by how many players from the same team are among the top finisher. Example: 1 place (1, 3, 4) 2 (2, 5, 7) and 3 (6, 8, 9).
Hover Ball (Hover Craft Only) - The second of two water events and this is only aired once at the end of the season. The goal of the game is similar to Slam Dunk, but one player from each team will drive a hover craft and try to throw four balls at goal in two trials. The player with the most goals will win first place.
Over The Mat (All Ground Vehicles) - One of the few games that use all three tracks in the main game, and most often the second or last event of the day. Players will make one round around a long or short course before making their turn to the course center where they will park their vehicle into the parking zone that has the color of their team. They should avoid hitting the ball from the cones when parking, otherwise they are sentenced to five seconds before they can continue. Once they are parked, they can jump on a blue safety mat and a giant bean bag ball to move on to the next vehicle or mark their partner to continue the race. There are four laps for this and the first player to cross will win first place.
Gear Up (All Land Vehicles) - One of the last two events, Gear up required all 3 players to play in a Relay contest similar to Over the Mat. One player will race a full lap on the long lane, then turn into the middle of the field where they get over the mat and pass the glasses or gloves to their teammates where they should wear them before continuing the course, and again they will repeat the process to the next team member. Then the last member will complete the last round to lock first place for their team.
Boogie Balloons (All Ground Vehicles) - The same rule as Gear Up, but the player must throw a water balloon to his teammate where they should catch it and break it on the ground before continuing.

Technical - If a team stops or hits a haystack, they are still in the race but given a yellow warning flag to another team until they can continue. If a team can not complete the course, they are automatically assigned a third place.
