The recording got split up with the final turns on a separate video. Maybe the Zoom recorder needed a break - we went late into the night!

T1: With the new charts, Chris guarantees success on the push with a red chip. While easier to pass a start push on the new charts, Kevin learns the dark side - his mis-shift costs him a wear.


ST2.png
T2: Brent takes an early hit on his engine.


ST3.png
T3: Stacked & packed in front of Montreal. Back-to-back failures on the engine give Brent an early night.

T10: How will the chasers address Brundle?


ST11.png
T11: Will spends to stay on Chris' bumper.


ST12.png
T12: Tim dives into Coram for a wear in this very interesting corner. For game purposes, Murrays is part of the corner with split arrows and drastic speed reductions.

ST22.png
T22: Chris takes a clear 2nd place but must still contend with his engine problems. Mike follows Chris' lead and uses that first outside space in Oggies to clear Williams next turn. Not the cheapest way to do it but it works.


ST23.png
T23: Mark hits another chance roll. The back-markers are catching up to the chasers.


ST24.png
T24: Craig damages his engine. Three-wide going into Brundle.

T34: Rando tries out the new passing rules. He puts in a red chip, allowing him to use the line. He passes but takes a wear of damage w/ no additional issues on the crash avoidance chart. Mike should've pressed here (see T35).

ST40.png
T40: Kevin tosses in his last two wear. Mike & Will pick up the bonus.


ST41.png
T41: Tim wins! Mike rolls to 180 for initiative, late brakes to 160, goes way outside to burn off speed, and uses his last two wear to grab the Murrays line. Rando's only shot at third is the chance table. He spins. Craig's engine cant' take anymore and he bites the dust.


ST42.png
T42: Kevin takes 2nd, Mike will come in 3rd, Will 4th, and Rando 5th.
