The dice gods were feeling generous after their vacation (thanks for waking them up, Cody).

Testing out new logos - see the bottom right corner of the track.

Of general interest: One of the newbie drivers in C2 dropped out. Doug Schulz, who has played a significant role in keeping PBEM & tournament Speed Circuit relevant, is replacing him. Good luck, Doug! Or should I say good luck to the rest of the field? :laugh:

Turn 9 Summary
Cody tests his top speed to travel 160 with 1sp (modified 4). He pulls away from the chase pack. Fabio drops a wear in the Gaziantep line at 140. Steve takes the Gaziantep line for free at 120 but stays on the #17's tail with the slip. Todd burns a wear in Gaziantep at 140 on the line. He grabs the bumper of the #24 car. Tim comes out of Adana at 140 to take the Gaziantep line for a wear. Brad continues through Adana, putt-putting at 120, then blocking the Gaziantep line for those to follow. Mike takes the Adana line for free and pulls up to the inside lane in front of Gaziantep. At 160, Kal pays a wear for the Adana line and cuts through traffic to pull in front of the stars & stripes (note the #3 cannot use the line). Will takes the Adana line for free at 140 and races to the inside of the #50. John finishes the Bursa line at 120 and ends on the other side of Adana. At 120, Chris uses the Bursa line for free and sits on the Adana line ready to race out. Rando takes the Bursa line for free as he hordes wear like a sailor hordes...hordes... I don't know. Rando, what do sailors horde?

Turn 10 Deadline: Monday, June 8th @ 12 noon EDT (4 p.m. GMT)

Our first NPR! Steve, you with us? Fortunately, his NPR plot was not too damaging.

Turn 10 Summary
Cody rolls the bones one more time to maintain 160 with 1sp (modified 5). He stays two ahead of Fabio, also plotting 160. Steve NPR's and takes a plot of 140 on the outside lane. Must've got an important text from home! Todd uses all of his massive engine to hit his top speed of 180. Tim ramps up to 160 into the straight by virtue of the increasing limit in Gaziantep. Mike takes the Gaziantep 120's at 140 for a wear. Kal saves wear in the 120's at 120, tucking in behind the #25. Will drops 2 wear in the Gaziantep 120's, passes the #3 on the straight, and pulls astride of the Marines car. Brad takes the Gaziantep line for a wear at 140, also passing the #3, and pulls up 3-wide next to the #6. At 120, John takes the Gaziantep line for free and is ready to accelerate out next turn. Chris burns a wear at 140 on the Gaziantep line. Rando sheds a wear at 160 on the Adana line and grabs the Gaziantep line for next turn.

Some of the money for the engine came from buying my brakes from a junk yard. Let's see how that works out for me. :grin:

I guess the dice gods appreciate a slow, steady diet. Lots of spread in this race but things might get a bit crowded going into Konya next turn for the middle group.

Turn 11 Summary
Cody pulls up to the Konya line at 140. At 160, Fabio is able to close in on the #38. Both Todd and Tim plot 140 to stay side by side in the straightaway. Will gets the initiative from the three-wide at 180, showing off his stout engine. Brad moves next by pushing his engine to 180 with 1sp (modified 6) to keep up with the #6. At 160, Mike grabs the bumper on the Valvoline car. Kal races up on the tailpipe of the #50 at 160 plus the bonus. John drops the hammer at 180. Chris increases speed to 160 (by virtue of the increasing limit in Gaziantep). Rando takes the Gaziantep line at 160 for 2 wear and stays on the #20.

Turn 12 Deadline: Soft deadline is June 11th @ 9 p.m. EDT (June 12th @ 1 a.m. GMT). Hard deadline is Monday, June 15th @ 12 noon EDT (4 p.m. GMT)

Side comment: I really like the stock cars. The color schemes are cool and it gives me more flexibility in my commentary. I plan to stick with them throughout season 2.

Todd follows the Dupont car on the line at 100 for a wear. Tim pulls up to Konya on the line at 140. Will plots 160 and gives up the line for an inside position.

Are Cody and I the only ones who drive like complete maniacs?!

Color me crazy, but I think I still have a chance to pass a few cars. Especially if I remain careful while colluding (strike that) negotiating (strike that) communicating with my fellow racers.

Kal's position was corrected on the T13 track. It's like that slip never happened!

16 wear in one turn! I trust Rando and Chris will also be doing it the hard way coming into the double corner at break neck speed.

That was an on-track disaster which never would have happened in real life. Spent 2 more wear than Chris and he passed me. Now I'm back in last place.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to get smarter, or something.
