FG: Nascar IX: Pit Stop Part II

[Sparrowhawk]

But if you didn't play in every game you wouldn't lose any points, you just wouldn't get any .

The players who play in every game are going to get more points of course, but that isn't to say that a player who misses games isn't going to be higher in the standings.

Plus with the winner normally running the next race (Vovan does know this right ) the person with the most points wouldn't be competing in the following race giving the rest of us a chance to catch up.

What he said. However, having shorter races would mean less time to compete, which would also suck.

What?

Why did nobody tell me this?

Actually, I wanted to run a race any way, so it'd be good.

Plus, I think Jonny still has the potential to overtake me. The race isn't made yet.

[gjramsey]

Should be an entertaining finish.

I think shorter races would be good for the season points title, but I would be willing to compete!

Yes, i'd sign up for the next race, or to run one. I would eventually like to run a 'short track' (round, basically, with many laps, and requiring pit stops for fuel and/or WCs).

Vovan is in cruise control.
It doesn't look like Jonny has enough hitting just a few too many sandbags.
Tuber and Spaced challanging each other in the alley.
Sparrow just doesn't have the top end to make a good move.
GJ finally getting into an area where he can use some speed.
Kassi still struggles through turn # 1.

Yes, it would be a pity.

Vovan in the last turn.
Jonny looks to come up just short.
The sand twins, spaced and tuber, kick up a bunch.
(Tuber, your orders had three 'L's and 'R's which is illegal so I adjusted for your best possible (which I'm sure is what you would have changed to), since you'll be able to A A+1 and Slip on your next turn to keep up speed. No combo of turns would be better)
Sparrow puts sand goggles down.
GJ can't take advantage of his speed with only 1 wc left.
Kassi is still posting orders.
