FG: Nascar IX: Pit Stop

[Sparrowhawk]

Rah has my orders for this round and the next, but I am out of town starting tomorrow A.M. until sometime Sunday evening. I should have internet access some time between now and then however, so may still get another turn in (depending on how quickly this turn and the next are processed).

Hopefully I don't hold up the game.

Sorry didn't get all the orders till I had left yesterday, heading into a BORING 3 hour meeting, will update when I get out. Sorry for the delay. First real one for this race, hopefully it will be the last one.

[rah]

Damn it, In my rush to clean my inbox, I deleted spaced earlier email that listed his orders for the next few turns. Could you please resend them Spaced. Sorry.

Jonny takes the first turn wide to stay on the track.
Spaced takes it easy and doesn't accelerate, assuming he trying to save WCs so he doesn't have to pit next lap.
GJ get a bit more aggressive coming out.

Everyone else is recharged except for VOVAN who will be next turn.

[vovan]

Rah, my speed should be 4 I believe?

[Kassiopeia]

Hmm. Ramsey did AmmmmA, with the first A before the crossing of the ##. Wasn't that supposed to count as usage of the special power?

I don't think so, because the second A, which is the actual use of the special power, was outside the pits.

[Kassiopeia]

I'm just echoing what rah has said himself.

Although I think "interpreting" is the right word
