Y'all are getting bunched up again...

Turn 33 Summary
Mike plots 120 and is prepped for the last two corners. Fabio burns a wear on the Abbey line at 100. Brad hits the brakes, drops to 80, and pulls up in front of the Abbey. No damage to his brakes with a modified roll of 9 (2 SP applied). Chris is denied the line at 120 and grabs the inside next to Brad. Kal accelerates to 140 and takes the Abbey line behind Brad. Scott plots a conservative 120, taking the inside lane. Dave hits the straight at 140 and pulls alongside Kal (and off the line) with the slip bonus. Todd accelerates to 120 with all the gas he can muster. DC takes the Vale line at 140, using two wear and a roll on the chance table in the process. He comes out unscathed with a modified roll of 1 (2 SP applied).

Turn 34 Deadline: Monday, July 28th @ 12 noon EDT (4 p.m. GMT)

Delays again. Home now but still without a regular schedule. Off again next week (beach time!).

Turn 34 Summary
Mike plots 80, uses his last wear in the Brooklands 60, and takes the outside lane in Luffield for free. Fabio takes the Priory at 120 for free. Chris burns a wear in the Abbey at 80, taking the inside lane at the Bridge. Brad uses the Abbey line for free and sits on the outside of Chris. Dave uses his last wear at 100 on the Abbey 80 and blocks the line for those behind. Kal is one of those blocked and is pushed out to the 80 for free. Scott is also denied the line at 100 and burns his last wear on the Abbey 80's. Todd pulls up to the Abbey line at 80. DC plots 120 as he preps for the Abbey line.

Reminder: Race will continue after next turn to determine final placements.

Turn 35 Summary
Mike is able to speed up by 20 with the increasing corner limit. Fabio burns off his last three wear in Brooklands & Luffield. Both Chris & Brad plot 120 burning off the excess speed through the 140 Priory lane. Dave take the outside Priory lane to avoid braking. Kal plots 140 and is forced to brake to 120 before the corner*. The dice roll on the deceleration table results in brake damage and a wear (unmodified 11). Scott pulls in behind Dave at 120 on the Priory. Todd completes the Abbey corner on the line for free. DC uses a wear on the line at 100 and pulls up behind Todd on the Bridge.

* Kal specified that emergency braking occur before he enters the corner.

Turn 36 Deadline: Friday, August 1st @ 12 noon EST (4 p.m. GMT)

Mike takes the checkered flag with Fabio shortly behind.

Turn 36 Summary
Mike uses his 3 SP token to max out his speed (Why? Because he can.). Fabio also crosses the finish line at 140 for 2nd place. Chris burns his final two wear to get through Brooklands & Luffield on the inside at 80. He should find himself in 3rd place next turn. Brad plots 80 and takes Brooklands for free. He then rolls on the chance table with 2 SP (modified 3) in the Luffield 60. Kal has the initiative over Dave as they both plot 80. Kal takes the 80's in Brooklands for free and maintains the inside lane position. Dave also takes the 80's for free and has to take the outside lane. Scott revs his car up to 100 but with no place to go must emergency brake, calling for the brake prior to the corner. While he avoids the chance table in Luffields, Scott rolls on the deceleration table for the brake (unmodified 2). Todd speeds up to 100 to place himself in front of Luffield. DC takes an RM plot for 100 and the outside lane in the Priory.

Turn 37 Deadline: Monday, August 4th @ 12 noon EST (4 p.m. GMT)

Wow... just wow. The dice were rolling and cars were spinning!

Turn 37 Summary
Chris rolls across the finish line in 3rd place at 140. Brad completes Luffield at 100* and is poised to cross the line next turn. Kal has the initiative on Dave and spends his last wear in the outside Luffield lane at 100. Dave also plots 100 and rolls on the chance table w/ his 3 SP token. He comes out fine (modified 3) and pulls up next to Kal. Scott plots 100 as well and rolls on the chance table in Luffield with his 3 SP token. Not so lucky as he takes a spin in the corner (modified 7). Todd takes Brooklands at 100, rolling on the chance table with 2 SP and passes through fine (modified 2). However, the 80 lane in Luffield is blocked by Scott, forcing Todd to the 60's. This is a sure crash so he has to hit the brakes (no problem - a modified 7 is rolled after applying 2 SP) to go through Luffield. He still needs a roll on the chance table at 80 with his last two SP. Luck was pushed too far and Todd also spins, completely blocking the road (modified 7). Oh, but we're not done yet: DC puts the pedal to the metal as he plots 120. He spends one wear and 2 SP tokens on the chance table for Brooklands. On the bright side, he never did hit the traffic jam in Luffields as he spins out on the first corner (modified 8).

* Brad was able to increase speed in the corner as the speed limit in Luffield increased.

Note to all the stalled cars: You may only plot the lesser of your acceleration or start speed w/ no modifiers allowed.

Turn 38 Deadline: Wednesday, August 6th @ 10 p.m. EST

Six down, three to go...

Summary
Brad crosses the finish line at 140, taking fourth place. Kal maxes out his acceleration, crossing the line at 160 and a fifth place finish. Dave pushes his accel by +20 (2 SP applied to the roll, modified 5) and also crosses at 160 for sixth place. Todd brings his stalled car up to 60 and will easily grab the next spot. Scott has to plot 40 to finish out Luffield - he can accelerate out of the corner next turn. DC also has to plot 40 and is ready for Luffield.

Turn 39 Deadline: Monday, Friday, August 8th @ 10 p.m. EST (4 p.m. GMT)

The last two positions are still uncertain - we will continue until they are resolved.

Time to turn out the lights and go home. See y'all in two weeks when Catalunya builds are revealed!

Turn 39 Summary
Todd crosses the finish for 7th at 120. Scott rolls the dice and uses his last two SP tokens to bring his car up to 100 (modified 5, no damage). DC takes an RM plot at 60 on the outside of Luffield. Since it is impossible for DC to finish ahead of Scott, the race is officially over.

Thanks for a great race guys - please give us your thoughts in the post-race thread.

Catalunya Builds Deadline: Friday, August 22nd @ 12 noon EST (4 p.m. GMT)
