9/13/96 - Division 5

Contestants

Description

This event occured in a randomly generated crowded arena. The point was simply to kill people - 5 points for each of a mobility or firepower kill.

After a bit of driving around, George rammed Flamer, and after suitable application of the confetti rule, George scored the kill. The next points awarded went to Patriot. After a sequence of shots and rams, Skunk-62 lost control and lost all it's tires in Flamer's debris field, and Patriot scored the mobility kill. Patriot got the next kill as well, shooting through George's side and finishing him off with a ram. Though Sniper came in for a firing run, Patriot survived, only to lose control and tires later. That left only Sniper and Basher. Sniper pulled around behind and Basher lived up to his name, smashing into a wall while being cored from behind.

9/20/96 - Division 30

Contestants

Description

This event occured in a figure-8 arena with a widened center. Points were scored as follows, with the event ending once someone reached 25:

Mobility Kill1
Firepower Kill1
Total Kill3
Oval Lap3
Force Enemy From Track  4
Figure-8 Lap5

Everyone began spaced around the track, moving 60mph. Slick Willie immediately fell victim to a hail of fire from the rear. By the time EDO finished him off and he skidded off the track, however, he had managed to coat the center of the track with ice. As the battle raged on and some laps were scored, Slammer coated the arena with oil, some immediately bursting into flame. Meanwhile, Joe set EDO on fire, eventually scoring the firepower kill as EDO's laser and rockets melted.

As EDO's driver fled the scene, the Slammer lost control, spinning off the track. As the Scorcher worked on his second lap, his tires were scorched by the flaming oil and burst into flame. Combat continued between Joe, Scorcher, and the Fireball, and eventually even Slammer returned to the track to join the melee. Meanwhile, EDO exploded before the fire team could arrive. Slammer was eventually disabled by tire damage in a collision with Scorcher, who scored the mobility kill. But Scorcher's tires melted off shortly thereafter from Slammer's flaming oil. About this time, Fireball completed his final lap, and the event ended.

9/27/96 - Division 15

Contestants

Description

This event occured in the Mayor Smith Memorial arena in Lafayette, IN. Points were scored for kills only, with equal value for mobility and firepower kills.

As everyone entered the arena, all of the duellists headed for the northeast quadrant. Zappa and Demon exchanged early fire with little noticeable effect, though Roast Turkey joined the fray and penetrated Zappa's armor. As Zappa and Demon continued to close, Roast Turkey penetrated Zappa's armor again. Beast and Banana Slug exchanged fire as Demon lost his nerve and fired, missing wildly even at close range. Zappa held a little longer, and blew out Demon's tire as he swerved to avoid a collision. Demon hit the panic button, dropping spikes, oil, and ice, causing massive tire damage to Zappa. It wasn't enough, though, and Zappa rammed Demon, following it up with another tire blast to score the mobility kill.

As Zappa limped away from Demon's flaming wreck, Beast, Banana Slug, and Roast Turkey closed, exchanging fire all the way. Roast Turkey and Banana Slug sideswiped, grinding metal as they headed for one of the TV Towers. As the tower loomed closer, Banana Slug pulled off and circled one way behind Beast, while Roast Turkey came around the other way. Beast and Roast met in a spectacular head-to-head collision, and Beast scored the kill. He stopped dead, though, dropping mines to protect the rear. Banana Slug swerved to avoid the mines and spun out, coming to rest as he slammed into the wall. Beast pivoted to attack Banana Slug, but set off his own mines, disabling both their cars and scoring the mobility kill. This left only Zappa mobile, and he accepted surrender terms, bringing the vent to the end.

King Of The Hill

On location in San Diego, CA this week's event was a Division 20 extravaganza! The arena had a clearly marked area in the center. The first person to stay in the area for 4 consecutive seconds won. Second and Third prizes went to the two next highest consecutive times (which must be greater than zero!). If a vehicle was mobility killed while on the Hill, its time was stopped. Here's the arena:
