(Tommy) We are coming down to the wire race fans! The competition at the 2nd Annual Dragon’s Tail Road Rally has been fierce! Each one of these teams have come to race.

(Smokey) The lead has changed hands several times. Top runners have fallen to the bottom and mid pack contenders have clawed their way up through the competition. Just seconds and fractions of seconds separating each. Aurora how does the field look from above?

(Aurora) We have a good view of the front runners now. Jerry Titus in the purple Cheetah of Grand Sport Racing has moved up to join the big boys and there is a four way combat going on. It’s almost too close to call. One tiny slip up will cost someone a spot on the podium.

(Tommy) Almost on cue, After clawing and biting his way up from the 9 spot to at one time the number one spot, Dano mis steers the King Pin curve and allows the Cheetah into the top three.

(Smokey) You can’t be too upset if you’re the Nonesuch Team. Dano ran a good race for them and that Javelin was impressive and seemed to be made for this track. He really cut through the herd to get up front. It just wasn’t meant to be today.

(Aurora) The Scud Missile makes a strong move on Girlieman in the V dub Ghia but the Girlieman Brothers manage to hold off the Asconi attack.

(Smokey) They come in 1 – 2 – 3 – 4! Girlieman, Asconi, Titus, Dano

(Tommy) McLovin is still trying to hold off the V dub combo of Herbie and The Junkabilly Buggy to complete the top 5. They are right on his tail.

(Smokey) Approaching the finish line, McLovin shouted, “Break Yourself Fool! and pumped his brakes. The driver of the blue Manx Dune buggy fell for the ruse and stopped suddenly, but Herbie’s quick reflexes averted the trap and went around. The Rocket City VW Beetle claims 5th!

(Tommy) Followed by McLovin in the Mustang and Carl Scarborough in the Buggy.

(Smokey) Bubba turns in a good last effort, but his struggles with the new car in the middle of the race killed his attempt to defend his crown.

(Aurora) Max Creek continued to improve and his Ghia Jolene seemed to have more power this time around and handled the course well. It was hard for him to get a decent consistent run.

(Smokey) The Strummer Racing Beetle limps in. It seems to have lost some power. Could be a valve problem.

(Tommy) Here comes the lavender dart from King Racing. Ted E. Baer struggled the entire race with tire issues. The car seemed to have plenty of power and it’s wide stance handled the twists well despite its higher profile.

(Smokey) And what can we say about Guido DaBritt in the Jagarri? He was all style and class!

(Tommy) Here’s the final board…
