ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 And WE. ARE. RACING! Green flag dropped on the #46 Datsun of BRE. MR2 Biohazard, Meal Time, and Jhonda Deere are off to blistering paces. Mopar 4 Life did not make the start of the race, the car stalled on pit lane and has yet to re-fire. A few tow trucks have been used already. Busy track, incredibly exciting racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ok this should be the last update for awhile as I'm about to take my working stint. Meal Time Racing has taken the lead, Team Paisley is in 2nd, and Top Fool Elemonator is in third. Meal Time's Joe Middlemiss has informed me they are right where they need to be (gee, ya think Moose?) and that they can run 4 hours on fuel. Not bad for one of the fastest cars on track.Side note: We've had 3 cars on their roofs so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Infiniti Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The Chumps heard that we were going to offer a special "On Your Roof" trophy...I knew that our trophies were 'un object d'desire' but isn't that going a bit too far? Ah the coveted alien with a wheel on his head trophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ok Chumps and Chumpettes, Stiggy's back on for race reports for awhile. Top 5 reads Meal Time, Tiger's Wood, Duct Tape, Van Winden, and Team Paisley. Jhonda Deere will I'm sure at some point be posting some amazing footage from a Blue Angel-esque snap roll they performed in the carousel. They managed to leave the wheels, do a complete flip in the air, and land on the wheels again. They are back out turning laps again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 As of the 5 hour mark, Tiger's Wood has just taken the lead over Meal Time, after Meal Time stopped to change drivers and take fuel. Still some very intense racing all over the track. Car #27 has been towed to the paddock (looking very crumpled) and Mopar for life has been turning solid laps since discovering their problem at the beginning of the race was water in the gas tank and getting on track about an hour after green.

ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 What a race we have here Chumps! Top 3 cars are on the same lap, and are within 10 seconds of each other. As a matter of fact, the 1st place Tiger's Wood Cougar XR7 and the 2nd place Duct Tape 318i are nose to tail! The Bimmer pulls close in the corners, but the XR7 is a sight to behold when they get the power down. Meal Time is driving slightly conservatively at the moment. We've seen many recent races decided by last minute strategic advantages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Just wanted to say thank you to all the fans that have come out this weekend. The spectator mound on the front stretch is filled with cars and campers. The track's front office has sold two stacks of spectator wrist bands. Fans are littered all around the track watching some awesome racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumpStang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Alright, final update for awhile. Tiger's Wood, Meal Time, and Duct Tape are still dicing it up. Live timing is down at the moment, and I have to get to my next shift so sorry for a lack of details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumpStang Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Okay Chumps, in between work stints I can inform you that Duct Tape is back in the lead, Tiger's Wood runs second, Meal Time third, Van Winden fourth, and Red Green in fifth. Still some great racing with lights casting some awesome rays through the fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumpStang Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 At the 11 hour mark of the race, Duct Tape holds a 6 lap advantage on Tiger's Wood, who holds a 6 lap advantage on Meal Time. Still anyones race, as we have not even reached half way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumpStang Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Somewhere, Tim Winker can feel this: A Saab has moved into 5th place! Rbanks racing has passed Red Green Racing. Top 4 are unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumpStang Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 This Chump is going to bed fairly soon. As of 12:30am Duct Tape, Tiger's Wood, and Meal Time are still duking it out. Van Winden has closed the gap and is challenging for 3rd aswell. Jhonda Deere is charging hard and is up to 16th and on the same lap as 15th and 14th.
