Twisted Metal Tour 2011 - 4-6 NC Jump

Slotcars on crack described all of those races I think.  The tacky track and jump of North Carolina Jump made for some of the most chaotic racing we've had in a long time.

Heat 1:
Seemed to go OK for the most part.  I was most impressed with our ability not to wreck each other when we were in close proximity...how little that happened.  Major wrecks seemed to be our largest transgressors.  I was able to lead all but the last lap.

Heat 2:
Not so good.  I think at one point we managed to all be on pit road doing the slowest conga line ever.  Those tow times are devastating on a track like that.  Every time we got back on the track, some tard would just nick you and then back on your top.  That tow truck driver must have been making his weight in gold.

Main:
Just as destructive as the first ones.  Major wrecks and minor skirmishes were abound.  No area was safe.  wrecks would stir up and dissipate more regularly than twisters in Kansas.  I know I managed to go down a few laps thanks to flipping over by hitting the jump wrong.  Getting back on the track was like entering a roundabout filled with gremlins on rocket scooters.

Mission Demo Derby may be less zany but at least as destructive, if not more so.  Again, no damage, but still a cross over to contend with.  Results!
