Nope, not the camera. The front Wheels are a little bit screwy on that one... but believe me, it doesn't seem to hurt its performance much (if at all). The wheels on the Way 2 Fast are open so even though they're bent, it doesn't rub on anything. Here its the cars profile on my site, clearly showing that the car still performs well: http://worpex.net/player_stats.php?playerID=68. It's still the 2nd fastest W2F that I own despite that and all the others are in perfect condition. Granted, its not nearly as fast as the First Edition Way 2 Fast that I have (which i've decided not to use for this tournament because its just... well, for lack of better words, way 2 fast.).

first edition way 2 fasts rock... fastest pass ever on my drag tracks set is 1.29 seconds, stock config. [reaction and elapsed time ] it was a 1st ED. "way 2 fast" with front engine and grill removed, fuel cell added, narrowed front wheels... when i enter an altered car on a way 2 fast base, bank on that base being a 1st edition...
... one of the guys just harvested a GRANDMOTHER load of FTEs and a crop of some pretty neet cars... i spyed some "way too quicks" in there ! oh yeh, GO PATTIE GO !

Give me the Nerve Hammer.

I was hoping no one would pick the Nerve Hammer! Was so close to seeing it passed up on! I was thinking it would be an easy win for that car before the tournament started, however, the rest of its competition gave it a better run then I anticipated!

Recap:

The first round passed without any close races. The Nerve Hammer, Power Piston and Ford GT-40 rolled passed their first opponent without issue and to no ones surprise. However, the Thunderstreak pulling a win came as a shock to me. I never saw this car as being on the faster end of the scale, but it took the first win in style versus a car which I had thought to be fairly quick. The Sol-Aire was zippy when I unpackaged it but with more runs down the track it seems to have slown down drastically. The issue has nothing to do with damage either as the car is still in pristine condition.

The second round saw the Nerve Hammer taking the Thunderstreak down with almost a 3 car length win. On the other end of the bracket though, the Power Piston ended up taking the very first race down the track but couldn't seem to complete the win as the Ford GT40 was able to pick up the next two. Very tight series! In the end however, the Nerve Hammer proved its dominance and beat the GT-40 by about 1/2 to 3/4 car length win.

In the player rankings, Iowastockcars claims the lead after winning two in a row with the hammer brothers! The results in this event were strikingly similar to the last round, except for GspeedR taking second instead of model40fan. At this point in the tournament, with only 2 events left, it'll be very difficult for anyone outside the top 5 to claim the win without a car in the championship race! Only 4 racers have a car entered due to iowastockcars and redlinederby hogging 4 of the 6 entries! We'll just have to see what happens in race 7, perhaps an new winner will emerge!

iowastockcars: 18 (+5)
redlinederby: 15 (+1)
tastelikedirt: 13 (+2)
Econocarl: 12 (+2)
GspeedR: 11 (+3)
model40fan: 9 (+1)
JDC442: 8 (+1)
Jobe: 7 (+1)
Fast Fred: 3
WorpeX: 1
