Turn 36 notes:

Kennington starts at 120 then late brakes to 100 with dice spending his final wear in the 80s/100 (NPR)
BUT, this is NPR(2) so he owes a wear and instead spins at the end of the move
Rando at 100 sheds his final two wear around the inside of Luffield and the lap lead

Schultz plots 140 and brakes to 120 for two wear and chance into the Luffield 60. He ends up facing the infield
Polcen with the corner blocked attampts to force his way past Kennington at 120. That fails and he has no way to slow except to spin
Ales approaches Luffield at 120 with two wear in the bank and three spinners in front of him

NOTE: Both Polcen and Schultz will do 20 next turn. The danger of taking a point away from Start Speed
Kennington will do 60 next turn

But there is a "3" in his dice roll and Polcen has 0 wear, so he spins again
