FG: Nascar IX: Pit Stop

Rah, I'm planning on braking once while in-between limit markers to bring my speed to 4 while crossing the line so I can get 2 more WC. This is not considered a special power right?

It would be special if I tried to brake or accelerate twice, correct?

Correct, as long as the B is at the beginning of your turn it will count for reducing speed prior to passing the marker. You just can't do a BB or AA in the pit areal.

Okay sent. I think that I've followed the rule, if not let me know and I'll make a chance.

Where is the pit areal anyway?

[rah]

Clarification requested.

Typo nazi's. *sigh*

Just waiting on a clarification for Spaced.

Spaced pits and looks like he's going for 2 wc's and a max speed of 17.
Jonny makes his move and decides not to pit. We'll see shortly if it was the right decision. He will come out of it in first place, but will he be able to hold it.
GJ looks like he will pit based on the B at the end of his turn.
Vovan avoids the oil but doesn't avoid sparrow again. And he loses the toss again.
6 is the minimum max speed and now two racers have attained it. So you guys can bump each other all the way to the pit and be happy that you have sways to avoid the oil that is again under Sparrow.
Kassi with the double BB looks to pit.
Tuber had another typo in his orders that I had to fix, but he's catching up to the cars that have been hurt.



A REMINDER THAT SPECIAL POWERS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PIT (PROPER)
A BmmmmmmB counts as using your special power, and you can't use WC's either.
But a BBmmmmmm prior to crossing the ## works or a mmmmmAA if you've cleared the ##.


Now accepting orders for turn 17.

AND I"VE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY CRASH RULE FOR THE 2nd and 3rd lap. I'm going to stack both racers in the same spot instead of one behind the other. Having to avoid the oil from the back spot didn't work out like i thought. Hopefully this will work better.

Sent,

Actually now I think I understand you message Rah.

[rah]

It still confuses me,

But if you didn't want the extra WC or max speed you could clear the pit quicker and take advantage of what you wanted to do.

Can you say Oxymoron?

Good Choice, I only wish you had made this decision sooner

Not complaining, but you should have taught me a lesson.

How can Vovan's speed be greater than his max?

ACK!
