Bernhardt fastest for the second sector

A 'teaching moment' has arisen for our new drivers. The RM may not offer advice or corrections to plots in league play. There are two instances where this would have been useful to the driver: 1) Russ mis-read C14 and went in not expecting to need a chance roll and 2) Craig could have continued at 120 instead of slowing to 80 with wear already paid in the corner.
