Wow, the average bid is over five!

For new drivers: You may push the start by 20 mph with a dice roll (you may apply skill to the roll). Rolls are with two six-sided dice. A 9 or 10 on the push is a mis-shift which requires a replot of 20 mph less than start speed. An 11 or 12 is a stall (0 mph).

Turn 1 Deadline: Monday, October 17th @ 12 noon EST (4 p.m. GMT)

Rubber continues to fall off the tires; will there be any left for lap 2? There's some action in the back with a forced pass!

A few race notes:
1. Sean had defaults in place for the pass, otherwise he would've had to brake. You can still fill out your defaults here: https://goo.gl/forms/7i9PA6MLaeWLwfvp1
2. Some of the speeds are hard to read on the track. Please use the white script next to the corners to verify corner speeds.

Turn 3 Summary
Doug, at 100, clips a tire on the St. Antoine line then 2 more on the Woodbridge line. Will takes the St. Antoine groove for 1 wear at 100 then grabs the Woodbridge line. Don runs St. Antoine on the line for 1 and ducks inside the orange Spirit.

Jack burns 2 tires in the St. Antoine line at 120 and sit on the tailpipe of the Spirit. Thomas finishes @#$! at 100 and grabs the line in front of St. Antoine.

John runs @#$! on the outer rail at 120 for a wear and slides to the inside of the red Ferrari. Sean, at 120, rubs off a tire in the @#$! line then barely squeaks by the Ferrari with 2s on a forced pass (modified 8). He enters St. Antoine in the 80's for 2 more wear.

Tim bides his time at 100, taking the @#$! groove for free.
