The Hairpin eats up some tires and spits one car back out. Lesson learned this turn: Keep Cody behind you... he is unpredictable

Turn 21 Summary
Tim B. is looking unstoppable, hitting 140 around 200R. Tim C. gets the initiative and takes the Hairpin line for a wear at 80. Brad sheds a wear in the Hairpin 40's at 60 and grabs the bumper on the #5.. Mike grabs the initiative at 100, drops 2 wear on the Hairpin line, and pulls up next to the Kellogg's car. Rando sheds 2 wear in the Hairpin 40's at 80 and tucks in behind the #25. John hits the Hairpin at 100, burns 2 wear in the 60's, and grabs the tail on the #18 car. Cody knows no fear and jumps on the Hairpin line at 120 for 2 wear and a roll on the chance table (naked 7). He spins out, potentially causing a headache for those behind given his 40 mph limit in turn 22. At 140, Kal uses the slow lane in T10 to pull up to the Hairpin on the line. Chris also burns off speed in T10 at 120 to grab the line behind the #3. Fabio moves up a spot at 140, pulling to the inside of the #20. Todd finishes Denger on the line at 100 with no further wear usage. Will drops speed to 120, conserving wear, and sits on the side panel of the #84.

Some shuffling in the first chase pack while Cody creates traffic problems in the rear.

Turn 23 Deadline: Monday, November 2nd @ 12 noon EST (5 p.m. GMT)

Methinks I did! :) :)

Folks, the current rule is to brake at the point of necessity (unless otherwise specified in your plot), thus corner wear is paid prior to braking. Both Fabio last turn and Brad this turn paid the price... be prepared for all eventualities. This default is being looked at by Kal & I and it may change for race 3 but, for know, the rule above is what we race under.

Tim, you sure hosed John and Brad! Thanks for keeping them off my tail.

Now that C2 has completed lap 1 we can see the composite field as we finished the first lap. Interesting 3-way dead heat for 11th.

My lap 1 indeed was slow. But now I'm tied second. Wooo!

Sorry for the delay, folks.

Note: Corrected brake down speed for #25.

1. Will you ever figure out how to use the quote function (I corrected your post)?

2. Yes, I know you plotted 160 as I have your plot. You'll just have to wait to see if I felt lucky when I locked mine in.
