Once again, no crashes occured on this turn on the race track. However, the sand was still there, as always. This time, Ljube and Spaced both journeyed over the same triplet of previously-hidden sandtraps. Kassi passes Sparrowhawk on the narrow part of the sandbag alley 1. Rah zooms ahead into the 2nd split, opting to take the top route. He's going to have to spend some WCs soon though, and this track has no sympathy for those who overdraw their WC account.

Back in the back of the pack, Gamecube continues to bide his time. However, with a large stash of WCs, and being able to see most of the sandbags, he is by no means out of this race yet.

Now accepting your turn 10 orders.

by the way, part of the circle coming up (still several turns away, even for Rah) looks a bit disjointed.....is it supposed to look this way or is it out by one space?

Yes, that's an error, it should be over one space.

Note: car 3 is sitting on a sandbag.

The good news: no crashes, again.
The better news: only one sandbag!
The bad news: Rah is threatening to run away with the race.

Rah zooms through part of the 2nd split track area, but is forced to burn another WC in the process. Futher back, in the 1st Sandbag area, drivers are becoming proficient at sandbag avoidance, with most drivers trying their best to remain within those areas known to be sandbag free and staying away from those known to have sandbags. Perhaps they can use this to have some extra speed coming into the 2nd split track... of course, speed isn't always a good thing...

Now accepting turn 11 orders.

I wish i was as confident as that.

With no WC's to speak of yet, I must really slow down for the next set of turns. Combine that with trailblazing the next set of sandbags, and I expect to get passed well before the final straightaway. I'm hoping to finish in third.

Yes, but I'm going to have to use another WC card next turn that will leave me with 1. Three people have 6 left. They're not going to have to slow down much at all. My clearing the sandbags will also keep me slow. They will catch me.

If I had 4 WCs left, I'd just say declare me the winner and we can start a new one. Hmmmm, if all of you want, you can declare me the winner and start a new one.

On second thought, maybe crashing into the wall next turn would be more gentlemanly. It might be worth it to save those precious 2 WCs

No sandbags hit!

There was one incident, however; the narrow part of sandbag alley caught Ljube by suprise as he runs off the track into the grass: Penalty of -2 speed.

Rah continues to zoom ahead, into the loop thingy, though it looks as if he will have to reach into the nearly empty WC pocket. The other racers weave through sandbag alley, some reaching near the end; it seems that many will choose to take the same path that Rah did.

Notes: Kassi's orders were A(3M)LR(2M), although the A gave him a total speed of 8, so I added an extra M onto the end of his orders.

Now accepting turn 12 orders.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Question: If someone wanted to live dangerously...could they drive on the "|" at the edge of the bridge, or is hitting the "|" the equivalent of hitting the wall or driving off the edge of the bridge?

No, the | is the bridge's railing, and you can't drive on it. That is the equivalent of doing a Chaunk (driving off it)... those bridges have very weak rails.

Yes, you are.

I was trying to do a favor for the others, really, but then Spaced just had to speak up.

Just waiting on Ljube now.
