Ahead of the Track
Like most previous major events, players are able to get bonus rounds once they have unlocked the last prize in the current prize track. This event shows a new reward's type. Instead of getting donuts as usual, the players are randomly rewarded with a Straight Track Piece or a Curved Track Piece. To get the first box, the players have to collect 1000 Blueprints (Act 1), Duct Tape (Act 2) or Bells and Whistles (Act 3). The second box will be awarded for 2000 event's currencies, the third one for 3000, etc...

Friend Actions
During the event, players performed Friend Actions by dumping garbage onto their neighbors' buildings, in a manner similar to Vandalizing (normal harvesting was disabled.) Eligible buildings displayed an icon depicting a garbage-filled wheelbarrow. An affected building displayed animated "stink lines," and was cleaned by its owner by tapping on it. Besides the usual Friend Points, Cash and XP, dumping Junk rewarded 6 Blue Prints, Duct Tape or Bells and Whistles for the first 90 friend actions, clearing it rewarded 1 for each building and showed the name of the friend who dumped the garbage.
