: T1: All the pushes are successful. With the front row having no access to the first racing line, Stephen spends a wear to jump out in front.

: T2: Mike's already mis-plotting. He dropped a 120 but the highest legal speed is 100, which he then has to roll for. Sigh...

: T3: Stephen stuffs the chasers but otherwise everything stays orderly.

: T4: Stephen has space... for now.

: T5: Both Rob and Doug drop the hammer to 180! Three wide going into a very slow corner with two cars coming in hot.

: T6: Rob goes first at 160?! He late brakes to 100 with 2w and dice before dropping two more on the line. Doug plots 140 and burns a wear plus dice to get to 100. He sheds two more wear for the corner. Stephen plots 120 and also late brakes with a wear plus dice. He spends one more in the corner. That's nine wear and three dice rolls amongst three drivers. The back-markers are not unhappy.

: T7: Rob burns two more wear to earn some space. Kevin drops four tires and finds himself in 3rd place. Tim and Rando spend two each. Oh yeah, Mike mis-plots again. Sigh...

: T8: Brent spends four to clear some slow corners. Rob has a healthy lead.

: T9: Three-wide going into Corner 7. Only Doug has cleared to challenge the leader.

: T10: Brent mis-reads the corner and has to late brake. He's getting into the thick of it but his burn rate is high.

Backyardigans are awesome

: T11: As Kevin likes to say, they are stacked & packed going into Corner 8.

: T12: Doug smashes the gas pedal to hit 180 and challenges Rob! Tim & Kevin burn wear for position. Stephen hears a bad noise from his brakes as he gets caught up in traffic.

: T16: Kevin & Stephen are tussling for 3rd. Rando continues to drive responsibly.

: T17: Stephen spends some wear to nab 3rd, outright.

: T18: Doug drops the hammer again. The dice have been good to him.

: T19: The cars approach Corner 4, mostly in pairs.

: T20: Three cars are clear of Corner 4. Stephen survives a brake check while Rando runs out of room and must double late brake.

: T21: Corner 4 takes it's toll once again. Tim overbrakes to survive.

: T22: The dance continues at the front, Stephen has some clean air and Rando late brakes to save some wear (eschewing the potential 3-wide).

: T24: The chase pack catches up to Stephen and adds him to the peleton.

: T24: There goes Doug again. Brent squats on the racing line, disrupting quite a few plans.

Stephen 6
Rando 7
Rob 4
Tim 4
Brent 4
Doug 4
Mike 13

: T28: Stephen spins in the hairpin! Technically, he should have spun two spaces further as he breaks the line but this was not considered until after we started the next turn. He would have to stay there.

: T29: Three wide into Corner 1. Stephen lets Mike pass unhindered.

: T30. Doug & Rob have been here before. Stephen red lines the engine and the black smoke is enough to convince him to park the car.

: T31: Mike makes contact with the chase pack.

: T32: Rando slow speeds the corner to stuff some traffic. Kevin goes outside to clear, Tim gets stuffed, while Mike uses the slip to conduct a forced pass (2s) on a blocking Rando.

: T33: Rando pushes the engine but Kevin gets past him with the bonus.

: T34: Doug & Rob move from the waltz to the tango.

: T35: Kevin over-brakes to save wear.

: T36: Rando's attempt to force pass a blocking Brent comes to naught, even with the big chip (I believe there was an 11 on the dice). He then has to burn wear & skill on late braking.

: T37: Kevin mis-plots, forgetting about the little 120 corner. He late brakes from 160 and burns his last wear on the corner.

: T38: Rob's turn to drop the hammer! Rando grabs the dice cup and dives into Corner 7. Oh no.... spin!

: T39: Mike lays down some skill to hit 180. Rando honorably clears off the line for Tim.

: T40: Rob's coming into the hairpin at 140 with no wear. Doug flies in at 160 with one wear. Next turn will be interesting.

: T41: The leaders successfully brake down to clear the hairpin. It's going to be a dice-off to the finish line.

: T42: Rob fails his engine test while Doug makes his. A great finish! Mike is a lock for 3rd and Brent clears the hairpin with a chance roll for fourth.
