Nine drivers met on a track in Brazil (fictitious) for a great night of racing!

I had forgotten to push the record button until about Turn 6. :rolleyes:

Pictures & commentary forthcoming...

Builds

Builds.png


Grid Position / Start Bids

1. Chris 0w+9s = 4.5
2. Don 3w+2s = 4.0
3. Kevin 2w+4s = 4.0
4. Will 0w+8s = 4.0
5. Rando 1w+0s = 1.0
6. Bruce 0w+0s = 0.0
7. Brent 0w+0s = 0.0
8. Mike 0w+0s = 0.0
9. Tim 0w+0s = 0.0

*Note: We used the house rule for breaking ties (most wear) and it helped avoid dice rolls for the 4.0 bids. We still had to roll dice in the back but I like the rule and it will stay in Redscape races.
