Setup notes:

A split decision on top speed: 7 at 140, 5 at 160
Accelerations are split evenly between 40 and 60
It's nearly unanimous on deceleration, 11 took 40, only Welage took 60
Half the field took 100 start speed, at least 2 will start 3rd row or farther back.
Should make the bidding interesting.

Good luck all! Let's have fun.

Next deadline: Turn Start bids due Wednesday, January 8 at 4pm EDT/9pm UTC

Two drivers bid high for the pole, two of the 100 start speeds.
Welage with 100 start speed starts shotgun on the field.

Should be an interesting first turn.
