TXT Racing Series Summer 2012 - 8th race!

(race of 7/28/12)

You could notice I'm pretty idle while the laptop is still being repaired. That's why it's such a big pleasure to write an article again. We're back at 2RAW, at the Track 6, another multilevel road course that has tiny barriers in addition - accidents are inevitable!
The more racers, the more fun - it always was that way, today it wasn't an exception. We've had some new people there, also was great to see PhiloSophical Vervain back, and it was a great surprise to find out he ordered a custom paintjob from Tudy, a very nice one. The pot was bursting with prize money, too!
Before the race, some racers were concerned about narrow barriers, of course the newcomers had some hard times with how it all works. With a little help, they've learned very quick though.
After the longest qualifying at 2RAW (not only because of a big amount of participants and taking time to explain newcomers how do we race here, but also because it's one of the longest tracks at 2RAW), the grid has been formed. Ready, steady, go!
Grosmanteau DeCuir, of course, promptly took advantage of the clear track ahead, Brave Ashbourne was a little behind him. The rest piled up in the battle for the 3rd place, and that was followed with acrazymanルナ falling down from the track and therefore losing the whole lap, Sharon Densmith got into an accident too, but recovered herself quicker. The competition for the 3rd place has been won by Eagle Clawtooth who pulled ahead leaving others to battle for the lower places. And they did!
PhiloSophical wasn't this lucky though - he fell off the track and passed the gate. Twice. So, he decided to retire himself from the race, along with bradock Randt, the another racer who concluded he can't compete with others after being lapped.
Densmith and Millenium Sands were battling for the 4th position at first - and I must say they're worth each other as competitors! But the driving skill matters too, and Densmith took the lead.Halfway, they've spreaded out. Not all of them though - Ashbourne held up with DeCuir though the whole race, not giving him a single change to relax. However, DeCuir handled himself perfectly, even with such a pressing we could witness there - and successfully finished 1st again.
Fastest lap time, even though it was DeCuir's, was set during the practice session - 78.463. And even the best racers barely could get under 83!
But what I really want to remark, is an impressive job of the newcomers - despite the obvious toughness of the track, they've managed to set some very good results! Of course, it's all about practice, nobody should forget that. Thank you very much racers, congratulations Eagle Clawtooth with his 1st win here at 2 RAW! That was a very spectacular race - and next week it will be Track 15, we're waiting for you there!
