Incorpora's acceleration gets him to 140 keeping in the middle for line access
Benham is first out of the 3-wide at 160 moving to the outside of the black race car
Blizzard grabs high gear as well, the inside lane is all that's available to him

Ingraham looks for a slip at 140 but finds a wall in front of him
Baker pushes his already damaged engine and gets smoke and noise.
Haskell awes the crowd at 180, safely passing the smoking light blue race car

"weekend". There will be no turn due on Friday, November 26 and no reminder
sent that morning. However, if I have all moves I will adjudicate.
