Clutching Defeat From The Jaws of Victory
Cobra, Green Machine, and Road Runner lined up for the trophy run. On the count of 1 the race was on with Green Machine taking the early lead in Chickin-Coup (Gram Torino was MIA). Cobra was close behind in Mayhem followed by Road Runner who failed to make use of Rockstar's hole shot potential. Cobra gained ever so slowly on Green and then passed 50 yards before the steep slope and hard right turn. Cobra not wanting a repeat of the Danger Car wreck on this very corner decided to brake this time. Green Machine not being familiar with Chickin-Coup braked much less than he intended to, thanks to the carts squishy brakes. The result being Green Machine passed Cobra again in the last few feet for the win. Road Runner who had a great view of these events from behind came coasting in for a 3rd place finish.
After words the group decided to make a near by fun run down into the hospital's parking lot from the hill above. Here Green Machine drove Rockstar to it's full potential down a un-steep hill at a blistering 26mph. Cobra in Mayhem was unable to gain the momentum needed to catch him on such a short (.8 mile) and gentle hill (less than 4%).
Unfortunately the only video to make back to us was of the fun run. Sorry, no trophy run footage. So here it is. Enjoy.
