The course. They cannot travel to the
outside of the outer barriers
 
 
The teams are led to their vehicles
for a practice run
The Academics do OK, missing the
X by only 10.1 meters
 
 
The Hammerlocks, however, are
far off the mark at 26.2 meters
Getting off to a slow start, the
Hammerlocks are feeling their way
around the corner
 
 
The Academics have just plowed into
the barrier, knocking it over
They're up but turning the
wrong way!
 
 
They've knocked over a barrel but are
on course again
Only they've gone up a small bank
and gotten their turntable stuck
 
 
The Hamerlocks have a tricky time
getting around the final corner
The Hammerlocks win by almost a mile
(the red circle indicates the Academics)
