Sprint Car Dirt Devils Championship 2013 - 10-12 Lebanon

What destruction!  Some technical issues for Chad, Rob and even Scot for a bit.  Rob would not be able to join tonight.  The first race Chad and Mr. Gates had some issues and Bill had him out for the premier round on this dirt bowl.

Race 1:
A good warm up.  Thankfully we had no damage.  We all started in the front and I go clobbered thanks to the wall jutting out from the end of turn 4.  Scot somehow cheated and managed to place second after serving a black flag penalty.  Sandy got one too but didn't fair quite as well.  Darrel was doing OK but had a run in with some AI that decided it would be fun to stop.

Race 2:
Chad final got his computer back and joined in.  Qualifying was similar though Darrel had some issues and started back in 20th which is exactly where he'd end up at the end.  But that's not to say he didn't move around the field, he was well up the order and back as well.  From the start, Scot would be the one to bite into the turn 4 wall but instead of wrecking like me, he went sideways, both in the X and Z axis (that's tipped over with nose at the crowd) and rode that drift until turn 1 where he saved it.  It was stupid ridiculous and another clear sign of cheating.  This little stunt would manage to keep him up in 2nd where he would end the race.  I barely avoided the piles Sandy was leaving throughout the laps to take the win.  Chad did some quantum tunneling and ended up with a heavily damaged car (and helped Sandy along before the green).  Playing with super positioning will do that to you.

Race 3:
Still no sign of Rob but we upped the damage and carried on another round of 25 laps anyway.  All of us at the front again.  Chad had another series of tunneling escapades and ended up with a broken car.  Darrel went out just shortly after with Scot right behind him.  Sandy and I managed to turn some more laps but I took myself out (damn turn 4 wall!) trying to avoid some idiot who got in Sandy's way and was sitting on the track.  I technically had a DNF but maintained second position even though NASCAR thought I won.

One more to go for this series at Orange County Fair Speedway.
