Incredibly, I left off one that should have also been near the top of my list:

6. Unlimited Racing. This would include all forms of current vehicular
racing, but with no "class" limitations other than, say, size. Thus,
Unlimited Formula One road racing (which would have to be done on larger
tracks, for sure) would involve cars with supersonic speeds on the straights,
Unlimited Air Racing might involve an around-the-world race of supersonic
aircraft (but to make it interesting, never above an altitude of, say, 100
meters) and Unlimited Boat Racing might involve a supersonic surface craft
race from Cozumel to Miami.
