Hit the gas and hit a wall, or hit the brakes and get passed soon (or get hit and leave another oil slick)....decisions, decisions.

[rah]

At least you're having fun.

[vovan]

Ready to roll once again!

Umm, not that I'm complaining now because I can slipstream this turn but my (A+1) occured after the end marker.

ACK!

[rah]

But the first A came before you passed the end marker.
If you hadn't done that you could have had an AA at the end of your turn, and that would have been OK, except that without the first A you wouldn't have cleared the marker.

I know people have been confused, but I hope it's clear now.

Jonny cruises ahead, can anybody get up enough speed to cut the gap.
Everyone now has cleared the pit area. Who will have to return.
WCs for the turbo cars are critical.
Kassi takes the turn an extra square wide and keeps Tuber from another S.
Spaced is now through turn 1 and can start to crank it up.



Now accepting orders for turn 23.

Rah,

Thanks for the interpretation, I do not know why I thought I was at speed six. I'll have to recalculate the rest of my queue then. I'm pretty sure that I'll be a space off now.

[rah]

No, I just moved your a to the beginning, so you should be where you planned to be. Based on your move that what I thought you meant. I didn't want to delay the turn waiting for a clarification. But if you'd like to change it let me know.
