Please refer to these track maps when looking up Turn numbers/names ** Special thanks to AMG @ GTPlanet.net for the hard work put in to generate them!!! **

I took this opportunity to show how great of an off-road vehicle the BLRA can be. There are some great time-saving grass-cuts between S and V Curves, as well as through the junk at Victory.

I manage to take the lead coming out of V Curve on Lap 2, and from there things weren't too much of a problem. Although the lead would sometimes get to less than a second, I'd stretch it back out after lawnmowing S and V curves. The competition would typically be trailing by 4-5 seconds after doing so, but they'd always chop back into it by the time we come out of Turn 5. I finish the race with a near-empty bottle, blowing most of it on the Final Lap, and still win with only a "grass-cut's worth" of a margin...

I ended the race with 1207.5 miles on the odometer.

Here's a video of my run:
