There were 4 ties for starting position, including the pole. Chris, I think you should avoid dice in this race at all costs...

Awww man! The defending champion rolls some bad dice (combined with inadequate skill usage) to put himself in a tough spot.

Turn 1 Summary
Chris gets the intiative in the front row as he pushes the start to 120 with 3sp (modified 4). He sheds 2 wear in the 80 on Sheare's Corner. Tim pushes to 80 with 3sp (modified 3). Fabio gets the initiative out of the 2nd row by pushing to 120 with 3sp (modified 5) and ducks in front of the #21. Brad pulls up next to the Air Force car at 100.

Tim C. grabs the tail on the #50 at 100. John pulls to the inside, also at 100. Will gets the initiative out of the 4th row at 100 and pulls into the exhaust of the #28. Todd pushes to 80 with 2sp (modified 3) and takes the bumper on the #6.

Mike pushes to 40 with 2sp (modified 9) but misshifts and has to bring it back to zero. Kal takes it to 40 with 3sp (modified 6) and leads the rear chase pack. Rando gets the initiative out of the last row by pushing to 40 with 2 sp (modified 2) and tucks in behind the #3. At 20, Cody pulls up next to the immobile #25.

Note: Per Doug, the #25 can use accel next turn but may not slip.

Only one emergency brake through Sheares. Note that RFR is using a different approach to emergency braking - we will be braking the cars prior to paying wear in corners. You no longer have to specify that condition (a nicer, kinder, RFR).

Turn 2 Summary
Chris drops his speed to 80 and takes the 40 in Sheares (wear paid in T1). Fabio sheds 2 wear in Sheares on the 80/60's route. Tim B. drops 2 wear following the groove of the #17. Brad tries to do the same at 100 but, without anywhere to go, has to pull up short with 1 wear for the brake and 1 for going 80 into the 60's.

At 100, John takes the Sheares 100's for free. Tim C., also at 100, takes the same route to stay on the numbers of the #28. Will takes the Sheares 100's for free at 100. Todd burns a wear in the Sheares 80 spot at 100.

Kal pushes his engine to hit 100 with 2 sp (modified 6). Rando stays on the bumper of the #3 at 100. Cody gets the initiative out of the back row at 100 and grabs the tailpipe on the #18. Mike brings up the back of the conga line by pushing to 80 with 2sp (modified 5).

Two graphics notes:

1. I've been making the chart bigger for improved readability. Don't worry, I won't let it consume the track.

2. Cody's car has been chameleon-like. The 38 has multiple paint schemes. He's using the white base this race, not yellow or orange.

I fully expected to not be able to get the start of the racing line and backed off to avoid the screeching of tires and crunching of fiberglass.
