2020-4 Twisted Metal Tour - Round 11: Michigan Volcano

 Live Stream: https://youtu.be/n0gk3ouKgtQ

From little to large, the field hits the hotzone with Michigan Volcano.  The racing was frantic and very fast.  Drivers found themselves avoiding incidents with F1 reflexes.  A set of races where victory was never guaranteed even when it seemed absolutely assured.

Race 1:


After losing 1st to a vicious accident after the final turn jump, The Egg fell down the order, yielding position to Tnadz who was slowly caught by Webster.  Despite a disconnect, the #19 of Know U was closing and with 2 to go, he was within seconds when Tnadz took a hit and scrambled on the grassy hill in turn 3.  But Webster couldn't seal the deal and was also consumed by an incident in the same area, allowing Tnadz to barely escape with the win.


And let's appreciate Zack's experience watching Nebraska ride the tube over top of him without touching somehow.

Race 2:


Know U punched out some big points in the second go around, taking 2nd and 4th plus a teammate in the top 10.  Jamie couldn't quite chase down the Lions but it was still a strong race with most of their competition knocked out.  The Egg was running first when debris rained down on him ending his race.  Tnadz took the lead but his Steelers caused his demise by laying across the track and just staying there, collecting cars...none of them to the team's benefit.

Race 3:

The shortest and most stirring race came at the end.  Webster had dropped out even though he had the lead and came back only to get killed.  Tnadz was chasing Zolecki down at the front and cutting the margin significantly lap after lap.  But by the last few laps, his pace slowed up and he was just matching pace.  By the final loop, it looked like Jamie had it wrapped up when a small blip off the final jump, sent him wide and a little bit slowed.  Despite a last ditch attack, it was all Tnadz needed to get a run to only just take the win.

But despite two wins for the night, Know U stretched their points lead in the championship.  Unless they face serious set backs, they are going into the final quarter with the series well within their control.  However, with one more regular Wild Card and the finale races (and plenty of X Factors) it's never over until the very last lap.
