Twisted Metal 2018: 31-33 Bowl 2

This is the turn that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends.  At least it went on for 3 races anyway.  Bowl 2 saw a change in strategy for some and heartache for others.

Race 1:
For 45 heartbpounding laps, there was non-stop, no-damage racing for one of the only races in the series without a DNF.  Hamilton and Slab had troubles early and fell down the order but made up for it by destroying the dreams of others.

The Bear bulldozed his way to a 7th.

Tnadz held an early lead for most of the race but lost it when he slammed his Peagles and only barely staying ahead of The Egg and Webster.

Neatly gifting the race to Buster who stayed steady the whole way through.

Race 2:
The Bear had a terrible race with damage.  Even with only 30 laps, he finished just shy of last with a dead car that he kept on the track in hopes of snaring an unsuspecting passerby like a Venus Flytrap.  It was a strong effort.  Hamilton went on to finish just inside of points despite Sandy's efforts.

Gut Slab fell victim to the curs-ed yellow line and tried throwing himself into the field when he was thrown into the catchfence.

And properly killed.

During a massive, early wreck, The Egg tagged Tnadz, causing him to make moderate fence contact.  Damage which would end his race some laps later.  Egg went on to finish 10th.

Despite some early missteps and what was nearly a career ending collision, GB rallied to 13th, surviving the carnage.

The real winner out of all the carnage was the race winner, Zack Webster.  A cool and steady hand kept him on pace to just eek out a victory.

Race 3:
Webster was to be the first victim of the shorter, full damage race.  As he closed on Gurton Buster who was taking out LSU.

The 55 was shot straight in front of Webster and into the unforgiving fence he went.

Moments later, Slab was maneuvering through the remnants of the crash when he barely swept into his own teammate...

...And into the fence.

Buster was doing well when he was simply spun by Hamilton who had finally gotten a handle on his car and the track.  Despite the setback, the 42 went on to finish 11th.

The Bear had a mostly immaculate race and came out with a 7th.

But the real story was between the front runners, Hamilton and The Egg.  After putting some space between themselves and Tnadz in 3rd, Hamilton closed the gap until the very end.  But he'd need another lap more to lay a bumper on Egg or try for the lead and Darrel would have to settle for second as The Egg locks out humans for wins in all three races and the human podium in Race 3.

Next week it's the hybrid dirt and tarmac rally course of Monsturd and the final regular season Wildcard between father and son, both of who desperately need points to stay in the championship.
