Oily Johnson's Gaslands Championship

An Escalating Gaslands Campaign for Fun, Glory and the Promise of Mars 

Round One- Death Race at Whiteout Wasteland

The first gear phase was a smooth start for all racers. With multiple cars having drivers with the hot-start perk there were some early pack leaders. The Idris teams picked up quick audience votes by going flat-out in the early phases.

Early accidental collisions from Slippery Gitz gave Horsepower of the Apocalypse a chance to make an early slip-away break. In efforts to avoid the mass of collisions Josh decided to take an alternative route but due to unlucky dice rolls and limited manoeuvrability his pick-up fell prey to several obstacles. Failing to shift-up, the pick-up driver fell to the back of the pack.  

  

By phase four, The league of Exceptionally fast Gentlemen had gained a lead but coming under heavy fire from the two Rutherford teams after passing gate one, the driver could not avoid wrecking on the post-gate 1 obstacles.   

Passing round the outside of the gate one obstacles, Tony’s Rutherford performance car was able to gain a foothold on the outside track, whilst James’ Rutherfordians dominated the inside track. Through an astounding moment of glory, Tony closed the gap on the pack leader, both in top gear. 

Having sat inconspicuously in the middle-rear of the pack, Vostok’s villains unleashed their hitherto silent arc-lightning projector, wreaking havoc and scattering Horsepower and Slippery Gitz. The latter’s buggy exploding in the pyroclasm of three boxes of grenade fire.   

By the return of Phase 1, the League had inspired the audience to riotous applause resulting in a respawn at gate one. Wheels spinning and guns blazing he chased the pack on the inside track, James’ Rutherfordians held the lead and returned fire but to limited effect at gate two. Josh’s languishing Rutherford death-truck was making back ground but at too slow a pace to be a threat.

With speed advantage, the Villains unleashed a further lightning bolt, dealing significant damage to the second-place Idris team as well as the race leaders. After sustaining damage themselves, the Mishkinites careered into heavy obstacles becoming neutralised.

Pedal to the metal, Tony’s Idris driver charged up the rear of the Rutherford car resulting in James’ driver wrecking. With one final push, the League limped to second place.

With the hard-fought race-battle coming to a close, the chequered flag was raised at time. With no racers crossing the finish-line, the Oily Johnson official made a judgement. With the two Idris teams neck and neck, 8 championship points were divided among the drawing Idris teams. As the next un-wrecked vehicle, Horsepower seized the third-place championship point.  

Through rotten luck and dodgy power-steering Josh’s Rutherford team retain a small advantage going into stage two of the competition, being the only non-scoring team not to have wrecked. This puts them in fourth place on wreck difference. The standings can be viewed in the table below.

Of course, the only true winner will be proven to be Oily Johnson’s loan sharks.
