Twisted Metal Tour - Grid Iron Division 2015 - 10-12 6 Feet Under

Instead of being linear, I'll show a little perspective from each of us:

Race 1:

Nearly all the humans started in the front with me in the lead.

Which I lost a few laps in.

And continued to lose as I got caught in several wrecks, including getting stuck on someone's teammate.

At one point, Darrel and I got snagged on each other as I was coming out of the pit area.  This was pretty much my whole race, all the way back to the back.

Sandy's race went a little different.  He started off knocking heads and showing he was dominant even if he was in the back.

Human players weren't spared either.

But his reckless behavior landed him in some trouble.  He'd have to call a tow truck. 

Not once...

Not twice...

Thrice

But man, once he was back in it, he was tearing people up.

Unfortunately, others didn't forget the wrongs against them.

On his top.

I forgot about this....

And the race kind of ended like this.

Scot was doing well until he got knocked wide early.

He managed to get back into the thick of it and do some good old beat and bangs.

Until the Fighting Irish...

...fought him.

Even while waiting for his tow, he couldn't be spared harassment.

Back on the track, it was more of this.

And this.

Which, of course, led to this.

And when he got tired of trying to keep it straight...

He just went with the flow and drove it in reverse.

At some point part way through, his tires were too tired to go on and he called a tow.

Fresh tires make the difference!  While it didn't help his position, he did win the Heartache.

Zack simply won and had no issues whatsoever.

Darrel spent a good portion minding his own business until he got wrecked.

He then spent time avoiding some wrecks...

And participating in others.

With sights set on returning to the top, he didn't let anyone get in his way.

Until his tires started going out.

Then he found some old friends.

And new ones.

And destructive ones.

Who he paid back.

Race 2:

So many humans

For me, things were starting out almost exactly like Race 1.

AI and humans alike were bouncing me aside.

Then I started my comeback.

I was helping my Seminoles up into 3rd when they got caught on this nasty.

Sandy very quickly knocked Scot out of the way.

But he too found himself backwards in the field.

And airborne

And sideways and upside down.

He was back going again not doing too bad and avoiding chaos.

Then he was caught in the chaos.

And became chaos to Zack.  Who would not fair well from this hit (see later)

Scot's race didn't make it much past the first 4 laps.

Rob was mostly enjoying being left alone on the bottom and turning laps.

Then Zack found Rob slowing down for a wreck.

Darrel thought hitting Rob looked fun.

So he did it a few times.

Pretty much taking Rob out.

But despite his racking up of rotations, he held in there.

And took even more abuse.

And joined a few piles.

Zack started well and was fighting for position with Darrel for a while when he went off track and rolled it.  But he survived and kept going.

Darrel didn't like that so he bounced him into trouble.

Zack then went on a rampage chasing him down.

And catching him.

But was also caught in the melee.

When things settled a bit he and Darrel were vying for first.

And continued to come to blows.

But after regaining first and coming to take the white flag, he got knocked by Sandy and then rolled by the Titans.

And I slipped by for the win.

Darrel spent most of the race avoiding issues.

Mostly.

But after running side by side with Zack for a while, he got Rick Rolled.

And just before the end, Zack shoved him away.  He would come back to finish well though.

Race 3 was pretty much more of the same as the first two with a little more chaos thrown in there.  Sandy got his best finish of the season in 4th and Zack took the win which now ties him for first in the series.

Next is the sticky track of Mr Norm's Mayhem
