Pushing figures around
A Day at the Races - Part Two
The Blue Marloo manages to sneak past the Turbo Terrific, unleashing its Twin Linked Machine Guns at frighteningly close range. Fortunately for Peter, Jim must have been busy trying to hold on as every shot misses. Seeing his path now blocked the Baron puts his foot down and rams the Blue Marloo. 
The shunt from the rear pushes the Blue Marloo beyond its maximum speed and causes significant damage to the front of the Mean Machine. The burst of unexpected speed sends the Blue Marloo soaring past the Love Bug and into 1st Position. Jim again lets loose with his Twin Machine Guns, and yet again misses. Back to the shooting range for Jim I think.
Peter Perfect comes powering up behind the little Love Bug and unleashes his cannon. Luckily for Fiona the shot goes wide. Finding herself between a rock and a hard place, Fiona once again 'Fangs' her engine sending the little Love Bug soaring through the gap and once again into 1st Position.
Meanwhile the Mean Machine, slowed down after its ram, manoeuvres around Checkpoint Two. 
At full speed the Love Bug enters the left-hand turn for Checkpoint Three. Surely Fiona's Expert Driving Skill will see the little car safely around the flag... or maybe not. Disaster! The little car flips and rolls taking massive amounts of damage as it slams into a rocky outcrop. The end of the race for this little car. In a bid to add insult to injury Peter Perfect lines up a shot with his Light Cannon at the now very vulnerable Love Bug... and completely misses.
At the back of the pack the Mean Machine has managed to catch up with the Blue Marloo, Twin Linked Machine Guns rattle as the armour is ripped from the rear of the Marloo.
Tearing past the Blue Marloo the Mean Machine then opens up on the Turbo Terrific, A deadly rain of fire destroying the rear armour of the Terrific and almost obliterating its steering mechanism as the damage goes critical. The three remaining cars jostle for position as they negotiate Checkpoint Three. The Blue Marloo once again tries for a sneaky undertake but loses control and over-steers. The Turbo Terrific is first around the bend, but in turn is rammed by the Mean Machine.
With its steering now in shatters the Turbo Terrific loses control as the Mean Machine slams into it. The Marloo takes the opportunity to correct its over-steer. 
Now down to two cars the Mean Machine roars off into 1st Position, closely followed by the Blue Marloo.
It's almost neck and neck as the two cars race down the track towards Checkpoint Four.
The Blue Marloo opens fire at the Mean Machine as it speeds towards the final Checkpoint. A combination of speed and average Gunnery Skill saves the Mean Machine from taking any more damage.
