R.I.R. Build Your Own Car series @ Atlanta Speedway

(6/22/12)
And an hour later the same day there was a big race - Build Your Own Car series, one of the ones I find most interesting, and not just because it's never clear till the very end of the race who will win (different cars settings - different strategies), but also I like the difference between the cars look. Due to the fact you can adjust everything, every car has its own attitude. It might be not too pronounced, but some cars totally reveal it for the public. Take a look at ZZ's Christine! Or how do you like Saphyre's rebel ride? Or BanningBairde's, a little misterious? And Clifford Market's, in a McLaren's body frame? You'll never get tired of examining these cars.


As much as you never get tired of watching them racing. Saphyre has proved her car not just looks good, but also handles perfectly and lets her win - even though Eagle caught up with her on the very start and till the end of the race refused to give up. What a fight for the leadership it was, probably the closest fight I've ever seen!
ZZ has impressed everyone with her colossal improvement from the 10th grid position when she finished... 4th! And that happened after the great fight with Garth, and later - with Kenn for the 3rd place. Well, Kenn turned out to do faster laps than her.
 Another amazing improvetent that took place there was Durron, who recovered himself quickly at first laps and joined the competition - for the last places, but still!
Unfortulately, there were some unfunny moments. It's Clifford Market, who couldn't make even the qualifying, it's DJ Traveler who dropped out on the 3rd lap after the awesome start (1st position on the 1st lap, and 3rd - on the 2nd lap). Grosmanteau DeCuir was going to participate, but plans have changed, he had to work. Diane left for the unknown for me reason right after the heat races. 
Well, it's life, everything's possible. Hope they'll make it next time!
