Race 1:
A late decision to forego qualifying had us starting at the rear of the field.
Which put us right in the backstretch wreck. Darrel and Zack had a rough go early on while Sandy and I launched at the field.
Lap 2 was scary...
Lap 3 had me end up on the inside wall and I would have to switch to plan B: cause havoc.
Darrel was finding himself constantly in wrecks and Sandy was doing his best to stay out of it but couldn't.
Zack also found himself in some of the pileups, attempting to vault over them. Which he did with some success. This would not be an effective strategy in damage races.
Sandy was then on the hunt for Zack and the top position, watching as I took out competitors.
He ended up running into the outside wall avoiding wrecks and cracked his car into this little disjointed wall section.
I don't know if it was that hit or the subsequent odd gear changing that followed but he took a page out of Scot's book and his engine died in a non-damage race.
Darrel wasn't fairing much better and found himself on pit road more than once after turtling.
I continued to attack Zack's team as they had a distinct advantage with all of them in the top ten at one point during the race.
I also tried taking out others that were in front of my teammates...
...but Zack kept things steady for the win and also saw his Raiders and Broncos hold their top ten spots. A big points haul in race one.
Race 2:
Another laid back start for the humans. Sandy and Darrel made sure to lay WAY back.
Zack and I tried to get close to the action but it was just smoke and mirrors on the first pass.
The real wreck was taking place on the front stretch and Zack got a hood full of Wisconsin.
He survived and was racing back with Sandy and Darrel for a bit.
I was up trying to get through log jams of traffic without getting wrecked.
Sandy and Darrel were working on avoiding accidents and keeping pace with each other.
10 Laps in and Zack was making hay when he reached a pile of unmovable objects, slamming the hell out of my Cowboys and killing himself for good.
The wreck was still there when Darrel showed up shortly after.
Sandy and I quickly joined the mix. Even full on the brakes, I barreled into the side of the Browns car and we both went flying. He did not survive.
I did but I started leaking fluid later on and had to get fixed. The pits are not safe as Scot's Vikings killed themselves right behind me.
Running 4th and chasing down Darrel, I collided with the Panthers and started see-sawing. It ended with me going straight into the wall, the air and other dimensions which obliterated all my atoms.
Darrel kept it cool and steady, taking a 3rd of about four or five cars remaining.
Last race and we shortened from 40 to 30 laps for sake of sanity (based on so few finishing the Moderate damage race). Darrel took the "easy-does-it" strategy and hung WAY back.
Didn't seem too bad on the first pass, only minor spins and most of the wrecking flowing towards the inside.
Zack made a decisive pass and left Sandy and me in the dust.
A couple laps later, this roadblock was happening.
With no room for brakes, Zack and Sandy piled in, with Sandy landing on the Chargers car and most of the wall.
I threw myself to the inside, turning my car into a wedge but coming out without debilitating damage.
The sandbagger, Darrel, came up on the scene very quickly and aimed for The Bear, shutting his eyes and anticipating the end.
But suddenly his way was clear as Sandy disappeared, giving Darrel his singular chance to do well.
Zack actually got his ride fixed even though he looked like he was done.
But against Darrel's nearly pristine ride, he didn't stand much chance.
And in an unorthodox move, Zack seized upon Scot's Vikings while Scot was out. Keep in mind that Scot and Rob were going at each other for the wildcard. Could it be that Zack was trying to help him get an award? Was he helping Rob? Maybe he was just trying to get points for himself? Either way, they both were dead.
Darrel continued on and stayed out of trouble, avoiding the few remaining cars on the track. I had no steam to try and catch him and resorted to simply holding off contenders for 5th. Darrel took the well deserved win but sadly had no teammates to help him with finishing points.
The Colts and Rams each had a Headache award during the three races, meaning no points were exchanged. We now go on to Mission Demo 8 for our second figure 8 of the season. What could go wrong?
