A Zamboni?!!

Welcome back race fans to the third installment of the Covid Cup. (yes, after this long the name has stuck) and once again it's more destruction than we know what to do with. For this event, a simple lap around the track, standard figure 8 with four gates. First car to clear all the gates in order and clear the finish line WINS!

Cars take the starting grid. From left to right, Thunder Wasp, Silver Skull and the Crushinator.


The engines rev, the buzzer sounds and the the racers are off. Silver Skull speeds past the Crushinator to clear the first gate, but the motorized battering ram catches the lead car and pile drives Silver Skull into the barriers.



 Thunder Wasp uses the collision as a destraction to sneak through the first gate and take the lead.



The Crushinator, smells blood & oil and charges in for the kill....


...missjudging the turn and crashing past the crates and into the arena walls...


...as Silver Skull dodges the the attack, but skids into mangled crates.


Thunder Wasp clears the second gate and has a clear run to the next gate.



The other racers have settled their feud and make to tackle Thunder Wasp's lead.

Thunder Wasp powers through the third gate, but bodges the turn, spinning out metres from the finish line!



Silver Skull clears the second gate hoping to close the gap while Thunder Wasp corrects his mistake.



The Crushinator has given up on the race and has decided to go for pure destruction, Gunning the engine, the battering ram heads back towards the start line hoping to catch Thunder Wasp before he can get back on track.

Risking an collision with Silver Skull in the process.


But the rampaging Zamboni is too slow, Thunder Wasp clears the finish line and takes the win.


I had won a race! Third time lucky. Abe, with his 2 wins, had decided to take the Crushinator and cause damage rather than actually race, it was just a shame that Paggy took the early brunt of his attacks and was paying for it until the end of the race. After I cleared the first gate there was no one around to stop me so the next race will probably see Abe hunting me around the track to avoid a draw. It will be interesting.
