Quite a scramble off the line as 7 drivers push start speed and one forced pass

Turn 1:
Harrington pushes off the line at 80 and grabs the green racing line
Moratto at 60 stays to the inside
Schultz uses his 100 start speed to grab P2 on the outer racing line
Kennard pushes to 80 and evens up with Moratto

LaMorte keeps to his 60 start speed on the inside
Harley stays beside the brown race car also at 60
Collins pushes to 80 and makes it 3-wide
Bauska rolls the dice for 40 but loses the draft early

Bernhardt pushes to 120 and barely manages to sneak by Collins and into P5
Kubala pushes to 40 and grabs the wing of the green machine
Rund gets 80 from his engine and passes in P10
Welage is content with his 20 start speed

Next deadline: Turn 2 due Monday, May 22 at 4pm EDT/8pm UTC

The jostling continues through the first corner

Turn 2:
Harrington tuns the green racing line at 140 for free
Schultz follows through the outer red line and stays on the blue machine's wing
Kennard takes the inner line at 120 and uses a slip to grab P2
Moratto hugs the inside lane all the way through the corner at 100

Bernhardt looks for a slip but with none forthcoming he takes the outer line for free
Collins is first out of the 3-wide at 160 but has to run the 140s with the green line blocked
Harley gets the bonus and threads his way into P4 using the green racing line
LaMorte uses the inner red line at 120 and sneaks into P7

Rund is into the corner on the green line at 140
Kennard follows the red race car at 120 starting the green line behind him
Kubala at 100 plus the slip joins the queue on the green line
Welage maxes his acceleration to 80

Drivers: If you would like a flag next to your name (or change the one that's there)
let me know what you would like.

The upcoming corners could jam things up

Turn 4:
Harrington takes his lead into the corner at 120 for two wear
After a late brake Harley hits the 80s at 140 and his Firestones hold the pavement
Kennard has a similar idea 20mph slower starting the line into the corner
Schultz does 120 and moves inside for P3

Bernhardt does 160 to make it 3-wide at corner entry
Collins is more cautious, grabbing the line at 140
Moratto uses a slip at 140 and chooses the inside approach
LaMorte gets the bonus at 120 and finishes in the middle to keep access to the line

Rund does 160 to maintain P9
Bauska has the inside advantage and moves next at 160 grabbing Rund's wing
Kubala stays even with Bauska at 160
Welage has room to unleash a 180 move

NOTE: Monday is a holiday in the U.S. I have plans but if they finish early enough
(which they may) and I have all moves I will put out a turn. There will be no
reminder sent Monday morning.
