T31: Great move by José Miguel. Tim K spins on the chance!


PC 32.png
T32: Doug takes the checkered flag! ...or something waving in front of the S/F line. Stephen crashes out on the chance roll! Don squeaks by the wreckage with 2s. Rob, without skill, is not so lucky. He gets caught up in the wreckage and goes into the tire barrier!


PC 33.png
T33: Rando takes 2nd! Tim B drops the hammer to 180. José Miguel drops the hammer to 180! But wait... Don drops the hammer too and, with the double slip, gets around them both to take 3rd!


PC Finish.png
Congrats to Doug for the big win! A special thanks to Stephen for the assist (resource board).
