Justin does 140 onto the line.

Jason does 140 to the inside for P3.

Minor corrections:

Jason requested a slip that I failed to give him, so he is one space further.

Justin should also be one space further at the end of the corner.

Don crosses the line at 160 for P1!

From here on out, chaos reigns.

Franklin maintains 140 over the outside 120 for a Chance (3sk = 7 SPIN) but his tires can’t hold and he spins. He’ll be able to do 20 next turn, and is stuck outside.

Jim starts at 160 the late brakes (2sk = 7 OK) to 140 to go outside, with the spotter frantically screaming into radio that it’s blocked. With too much speed to scrub off, he attempts to pass the spinning Franklin (force pass, unblocked = 10 FAIL) but can’t, is forced to slow by 80 and can only slow 20 (1w) and so spins, damaging his brakes (I think that’s also required here for the failure to pay, but if wrong I don’t know that it will make a difference in this race). He is stuck at 20 next turn but has a choice of lanes.

Robert comes upon the carnage at 120 and rather than Chance tries to late brake to 100 (11, FAIL) and so spins and breaks his brakes as well. Robert is limited to 40 next turn but has a choice of lane.

I would remind all those at the back that no matter what position, as long as they *finish* they are receiving points. If they DNF for whatever reason they will get none.

Next plot due Friday, 20 December @ 8 AM ET (US).

Justin crosses at 140 in P3.

Chris does 160 for P4.

Dave does 160 with a slip for P5.

John decides to use up the car (Mario A. would be prud) and does 200 (test Top, 1sk = 7 OK) and takes P6.

Franklin spins around and is locked to the outside lane at 20.

Robert spins around and dives inside for 40 over the 80s for free and P7.

Jim spins around and takes the middle lane at 20.

Point-paying positions are still in doubt, so I will not presume to plot it out yet. However, we will go into trigger mode; when I have plots from all three of the cars I will process the turn.

Next plot due Monday, 23 December @ 8 AM ET (US).
