Pot Luck 17 - R19-21 6 Feet Under

The tiny tornado track that is 6 Feet Under saw many a car fly and die.  For Zack's pick laps had to be reduced to 40, despite the 15 second averages because the simulator simply couldn't handle that much carnage in such a small space.  Three races in classic Twisted Metal Tour style and progressive damage.

Race 1:

Three humans at the front of the snake of cars that would soon consume itself.

Gurton Buster lead off on the right foot by planting his right foot into Zacks rear.

Slab also started things off early by conserving his tires and only keeping a couple on the road at all times.

His fellow humans would come to his aid as he was flopping about the track.

Scot was finally back and showing true form.

GB didn't take long to get whacked around pretty good.

And Tnadz managed to just stick the car on the wall all by himself.

Luckily Buster gave him a thorough whack and the two were back to racing.

It didn't take many laps before all human participants found themselves in all sorts of positions on the track.

Tnadz was bulldozing the corners which often meant bulldozing other cars.

Despite Gut Slab's vigor, he couldn't avoid the dreaded pit road wall.

He was not alone.

In the end, Scot made the most progress of all humans, finishing up in the twenties.

Race 2:

It was the Buster-Tnadz show at the front again and this time, things weren't as smooth.

The inside got a run on GB and he was pressed into the wall.

From there is was a dog pile of cars with Slab actually avoiding the wrecking this time (presumably to save it for later)

Then he was torn to bits by Guga Lima and others and died only half a lap in.

Tnadz didn't make it much further before his race took a tumble.  Still going for now though, thanks to moderate damage.

The Bear had kept mostly quiet and conservative for his races but did give a small shot to Mad Max.

Once again, tires and the general course of the course were resulting in humans turned, flipped and harpooned.

Zack had called on a tow and couldn't even sit in his stall without being rammed violently by Suzuki.  Somehow he died but came back to life.

Slab was having a ball and just slamming around the track the way God intended.

Tnadz finally met his demise as a somewhat low impact wreck took place and killed his car.

By now, Slab was smoking like a bong but he was still taking cars out and sending them off the track.

As was Myer.

Eventually, Webster rejoined the fun and was actually performing quite well.

This looks normal.  Scot sent Montiero over the pit wall.

Which was somewhat disturbing for Gut Slab who was passing through to keep from DQing.

But when he was on the track, he let it rain destruction.  Caca Bueno didn't know what hit him.

It was Casagrande.

Getting later in the race, there was this little exchange.

Maybe it was just badly worn tires but the result was a Mad Max falling from 20th to 22nd and more damage and wear.

Fortunately, he doesn't forget about those things and quickly struck back.  He even managed to make back his spots by the end.  Even Webster was able to rise through the ranks for a 20-something result.

Slab was aggressive to the end and finished right behind Scot Myer.  It seems he's really getting the hang of this racing style.

The Bear finished well with a 15th.  It seems these demolition courses are working out for him.

Race 3:

GB and Webster lead them to the start on the final and most damaging race.  Slab also made an appearance at the front.

Tnadz adopted a different strategy and stayed on pit road for the first several laps of the race.

Things turned quickly for Buster as the 29 of Serra cut him off going to the pits.

From there, he was ravaged, most notably by Guga Lima which caused him a moment of pause for repair.

A wreck between Bueno and one of the Prati rides nearly took out The Bear.

As they came back across the track, he had to throw the anchors and drop low.

Mad Max also was evading and the two had a small swipe but all seemed friendly.

Webster was running well when he wiped out on the transition.

And things got exciting.

All that lead to a giant log jam on the front stretch where Myer and Smith had to go low and Slab just did a Slab.

While Sandy thought things were going well (and they were), he rounded the corner and quickly found himself under Camilo.  Hitting him at this angle, didn't help with his header.

But he was still going until Webster rounded the corner and blasted him over, reigniting a rivalry from a season passed.

How did that accident all happen with Camilo?  Well, it was Buster who was back in action.

But that accident hurt him and he ended in traditional fashion: wreck it all.

Mad Max went evasive...

...and slammed into the Blau team.

He came in for repairs as Webster came off the track, nearly cleaning his clock.

Gut Slab was powering on, all the way up to 2nd and with relative little damage.

Webster was also taking on the field and knocking AI around as he rose to the top ten.

Tnadz was climbing the ranks of dead cars and was doing well when Atila slammed into him coming to pit road in a similar incident GB dealt with.  The relatively weak hit, was, again, enough to kill the engine.

Slab seemed impervious to damage and showed his god-like invincibility.

Although it did manage to cause SOME damage after a bit.

This looks normal.  Also, dead.

He eventually did roll it and REALLY get damaged.

Yet, that still didn't kill him and he eventually did die out on the outside of the track in 10th as Webster's limping ride was getting back into the single digit positions.

He did make it up to 7th in the end and celebrated by Duke-ing it over Gut Slab who was getting a gentleman push from the winner, Navarro.

A week off to celebrate dead Turkeys and then it's back for Scot's pick: Bone Crusher.  That's right, three-in-a-row.
