Good morning again everyone! I am going to get right into it. I have already run the Shark Pool cars in a Round Robin format and the two top cars have filled the #9 and #10 Spots. Those racers were Finistauri and JJWallace. I will show how that was run and the ET's in the next post. All we have left to do is the Four Gear Outlaw and Best in Show award. I will also show some of the sponsored items. Thank you to those who donated!
Good luck today!

These are the 4 cars that are in the 4GO Shark Pool right to left.

- Pete "Peterson Motorsport" Camaro
- Chris '55 Chevy
- JJWallace "Shaker" Vega
- Finistauri "Dolly" '32 Ford

The Round Robin format is basically each car races each other one time and the car with the most wins moves ahead. In this case we have two openings on the List so the top two cars will fill those Spots.
Race 1
- Pete .7073et
- JJWallace .7003et win

Race 2
- Chris Deslot
- Finistauri .6263et win

Race 3
- Pete .7174et win
- Chris .8768et

Race 4
- Finistauri .6307et win
- JJWallace .6973et

Race 5
- Pete .7326et (slowing)
- Finistauri .6492et win (slowing)

Race 6
- JJWallace .6955et win
- Chris Deslot

Finistauri will take the #9 Spot with three Shark Pool wins and JJWallace will take the #10 Spot with two Shark Pool wins. Pete and Chris will remain in the Shark Pool until Round 2 and they will race each other again for a chance to call out the #10 Spot.

Congratulations to those who made it on the List today!

Four Gear Outlaw Round 1 Call Outs

Round 1 CO 1 JJWallace vs Finistauri for #9
the '39 Ford is fast today and easily holds onto the newly acquired #9 Spot and is looking at #8. JJWallace will have to wait another round to try again. .6432et to .7025et

Round 1 CO 2 Finistauri vs Comet for #8
S10 makes a smooth pass but is still going to lose the spot to the faster car. Finistauri goes to #8. .6366et to .8157et

Round 1 CO 3 Ecbill vs Gnome for #6
These races happen from time to time and it always amazes me since I am starting them on a switch. This was a holeshot win for Gnome and he will keep his #6 Spot. The Corvette came within .0023wm to winning that race. Great race! Slower .6904et beats the faster .6875et

Round 1 CO 4 Gnome vs Sparks for #5
The Monza gets quicker but it falls short of taking the spot. Sparks lays down a solid A to B pass to stay where he's at for the moment. .6572et to .6793et

Round 1 CO 5 Sparks vs Mazda for #4
Sparks will now get the opportunity to call out Mazda and potentially move up. The Nova is down on HP today and the Plymouth will swap positions and take #4 Spot. .6529et to.7566et

Round 1 CO 6 Swiftkart vs Skillet for #2
The '57 moves about a car and stops. Something in the brush/motor area caused it to lock up. Swiftkart blisters the track with the fastest pass of Round 1 to step up to #2 Spot. .6349et to No Time

Pennywize is safe in his #1 spot for now but he needs to get ready because Swiftkart is coming in Round 2. The Hearse has not made a pass today so we will have to wait and see if he has anything for the S10.
I was able to free up whatever was causing the problem in Skillet's car so he will be able to make a pass in Round 2.

Stay tuned for Round 2!

Four Gear Outlaw Round 2 Call Outs

Round 2 Shark Pool Pete vs Chris for a chance to call out #10
Chris is struggling to stay in the slot today. He will have to give it another try at the next race. Pete's Camaro is slowing but gets it done and is calling out JJwallace next. .7466et to Deslot

Round 2 CO 1 Pete vs JJWallace for #10
Something has happened to the Vega. It has turned turd all of the sudden but barely has enough to get it done as Pete is also having trouble. The Camaro goes back to the Shark Pool till next time and JJ will see if he can move up with his ailing car. .7375et to .7604et

Round 2 CO 2 JJWallace vs Comet for #9
The Vega runs slightly better but something is definitely wrong. Comet lays down another smooth pass but is down on HP today. JJ will take the spot. .7300et to .8176et

Round 2 CO 3 Finistauri vs Ecbill for #7
Finistauri is moving right up the list with his built car and will easily take the #7 Spot from Ecbill. .6431et to .6948et

Round 2 CO 4 Gnome vs Mazda for #5
Mazda is very consistent but that is not keeping him from sliding down the list. Gnome's Monza will take the #5 Spot. .6743et to .7567et

Round 2 CO 5 Sparks vs Skillet for #3
Skillet locks up again in the burnout box and has to forfeit the race and the spot to Sparks. Sparks has problems as well but makes it to the finish line. .7393et to No Time

Round 2 CO 6 Swiftkart vs Pennywize619 for #1
Swiftkart has the best car on the list this weekend and will handily take the #1 Spot and the Crown! Pennywize will move into the #2 Spot and will have to wait till the next race to try and get #1 back. .6283et to .6827et

Congratulations Swiftkart on another dominating performance and taking #1!

Well that will wrap it up for the racing. There was a lot of movement on both Lists and some good racing.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest lastnight and today so I will decide on Best in Show and finish this thing up. Good job everybody!

Thanks for the compliment Steve. I dumped my heart into Sloopy setting it up.

No worries on wild ride JJ. I'm going to be taking a body swap penalty next list race. I'd like to switch to my HairyCanary Roadrunner.
