Pot Luck 2019: 10-11 AVUS

Again, Gut Slab has summoned the powers of AVUS; arguably one of Germany's most fatal race tracks.  As simple as the layout is, the races were anything but.

Race 1:

Zolecki and Webster were drag racing into the hairpin on the first of thirteen laps.  Hamilton was close behind and then got real close to Zack's behind, sending him into the wall.  Webster would end up wrecking off his favorite kink with Darrel getting hip checked off the Death Turn into oblivion.

Smith had a chance at a podium when he got tangled up in some of the field.  He wasn't dead but well down the order.

With relatively few issues but some very close calls, Jaime took an easy win.

Race 2:

Tnadz broke away early but was reeled in on lap two and hip checked by Rahmul right into the hay bale barrier.  Instant death.

Hamilton's engine died after running decently for a while.  The Egg had issues early and died dramatically as did Slab.  Zolecki was gone before the first turn and Webster didn't finish his first lap either.

In the end, only a very busted Magnum car of Sandy Smith limped home as the only non-DNF human.  A sad end.

But his pick for next track is inspiring: Red Rock.
