Pot Luck 2019: 16-18 Destruction Arena

The finale for the short lived 2019 Potluck is nothing short of spectacular with a run up to the very last race and a standings finish that is one of the closest ever in Tnadz Racing.

Race 1:
Trying to follow everything that happened for 40 laps with a no damage race would take far too much time.  Instead, we'll look at the play of the race.  Zolecki, who had a great start and had been leading for a while, ended up getting knocked down the order after a bad time.  Then, with only a couple laps left, Smith was on pace to potentially grab a podium when Jamie blasted him at the intersection, sending him down to 6th.

Race 2:
Ross managed to avoid most of the carnage in the second run with moderate damage on for the win.  It was not without its close calls though as The Egg and Sandy stayed afloat for a good part of the race for a decent finish outside the top 10.

Race 3:
A slow start may have either kept Slab from a win or gifted him a 2nd, just depends on how you look at it.  But after spinning through the intersection on lap 1, he recovered and didn't get nailed on the track anywhere.

The only other surviving human, Smith, was fighting for a Championship win and needed to finish 4th after his Race 1 setback and harassment from The Egg.  While in 5th, he caught Coral with one to go and ran him into the wall.

But the 77 wasn't dead.  But he was damaged and went for the pits. Tnadz would have had to pass him by the start finish line to claim the spot but missed out by a second.  And that second caused him to place second in the points by...a...single...point.  What an ending.

The next series will go to the more civilized and cultivated world of road courses.  It's The Shorties: Roadcourse Edition.

Pot Luck 2019: 14-15 Philip Island

With the end of the series upon us, Zolecki picked a track with a love/hate history that kept up that tradition.  His on-track performance was nill as he was out suffering from flu.  It was mixed results for everyone else.

Livestream: https://youtu.be/zHDmWGhhISs
Highlights: https://twitter.com/i/status/1104072808106287104

Race 1:
Webster and The Egg had a ripping start, pulling away from the field early.

But The Egg overcooked it coming into Lukey Heights, sending himself well down the order where he'd barely finish outside the top 10.

Things got wild at the back of the grid as Hamilton lost it coming onto the straight, collecting Myhr in the process.

Gut Slab then had an unusual approach and managed to basically take out three other cars at once.  Hamilton didn't last much longer and was done for the night while Myhr was dead on the spot.

Smith had been catching Webster slowly, lap after lap, when Zack lost a tortured right front coming to the last lap.  Despite speeding in the pits, he held on for second.

Race 2:
The Egg and Ross got a big jump on the start with Zack not far behind.

However, Webster was caught up in some trouble coming to turn 2 which caused trouble for several cars.

Not far up the road, Smith ran wide at Lukey and pulled a 360, letting The Egg vanish into the distance.

In the background, Slab and Myhr were trading blows back and forth.

Halfway into the race, Smith had managed to close the gap and the two leaders were nose to tail coming in for their pits.  But The Egg would get whacked good by The Bear while getting through the stalls.

This set The Egg back but he drove like a man possessed and closed down the gap while Smith tried to conserve.

At Honda, Scot was nearly wrecked as The Egg scrabbled for more track position on the leader.

But with two to go, he ran wide again at Lukey, handing the victory to Ross.

We now go to the series finale.  The races at Destruction Arena.
