Pole Bids
(Tie-breaker: 2d6 high roll)

1. Mike 0w+10s = 5.0 (10)
2. Kevin 3w+4s = 5.0 (6)
3. Stephen 3w+4s = 5.0 (5)
4. Brent 0w+10s = 5.0 (3)
5. Rando 0w+2s = 1.0
6. Doug 0w+0s = 0.0 (9)
7. Chris 0w+0s = 0.0 (5)

Note: I think I'd like to try breaking ties w/ wear in the bid prior to rolling dice. We did it once before and it seemed to work well.

Wear count after all cars clear last corner in 1st lap

Mike 12
Kevin 13
Stephen 13
Rando 13
Chris 11
Brent 12
Doug 13

SR T10.png
T10: I think Chris was throwing skill at a late brake.




SR T11.png
T11: Kevin, Doug, and Chris push their engines. Stephen gets another slip.


SR T12.png
T12: Kevin over-brakes. Doug keeps his engine in the red. Chris damages his engine but the car is still going fast enough to give Rando the double bonus. Oh yeah, Stephen gets a bonus too... sigh.

T13: Brent's lead stays intact.


SR T14.png
T14: Another slip for Stephen.


SR T15.png
T15: NO slip for Stephen! In fact, he takes damage on a failed late brake check. If anyone can bring in a zero brake car, it's Stephen.

SR T28.png
T28: I don't even know what's going on here.


SR T29.png
T29: Kevin spins on the chance! Brent behaves. Rando gets initiative at 180, uses a wear to late brake, and his last two in the corner. Stephen tests his engine then has to late brake. Everyone else lines up on what will be the only open racing line.


SR T30.png
T30: Stephen burns his last two wear and has Rando's bumper. Brent gets behind Stephen. Mike passes a naked chance roll. Doug uses the bonus to go three wide. Chris clears and leaves Kevin behind.

SR T31.png
T31: Rando eases his way to the checkered flag! Stephen takes his final bonus and 2nd place. Mike fails an engine check and will settle for 4th after Doug passes a check for 3rd. Brent will roll across in 5th. Chris takes 6th and Kevin, 7th.


SR Finish.png
We all came home albeit with four of seven cars damaged!

It looks like Rando has punched his ticket to the finals with Stephen a probable.
