WorpeX.net Public Choice Tournament!
So I did a few practice races with the two donations I received from GspeedR today and I noticed that the Nisan Skyline barely made it down the track. Its awful and I don't want to screw anyone over, especially since in this race, the rest of the pack is a bunch of top racers. So, I'm going switch tastelikedirt's entry to the Mercedes C-Class.
Ok! Here we go! Long wait from last week, but I apologize for that...

Recap:
Don't let these "A" results fool you. The first round looks like none of the races were close on paper and while its true to an extent, it is also deceiving. Many of these first round wins were by exactly 2 car lengths and nothing more. No massive wins for any car as their opponent was hot on their heels the entire way and was only a few inches away from getting a "B" grade!
In the second round, the races got close. VERY close. While the Bone Shaker continued to be impressive and beat the Split Vision, the Hammer Head vs C-Class race went back and forth so many times that my head started to spin. These cars were so close in speed that it brought to light a clear faster lane... although only by a very very slight margin. The top lane was the fast lane and it was clear by both cars only being able to win on the top over and over again. In order to resolve the tie I had to break out an unorthodox scoring method by judging which car lost by the least amount on the bottom lane. They continued to tie a few times before the C-Class had a bad race and gave it up for the Hammer Head to advance!
In the finals, we had another super tight race! However, the hammer head was able to win on the bottom and secure his place in the grand finals by just a fender! Congratulations to iowastockcars for his first win!

(JDC442 will receive +1 because if the originally planned Nissan Skyline had raced, the Screamin' Hauler would have easily beaten it.)

Its the glossy finish that did it for me. Those hammer heads are pretty quick with the low/wide profile. Thanks to Dale Jr for that design!
