ll of the turtle vans, or traveling waggons, have finally all arrived at WeRaceDiecast to take on another track in the Traveling Wagon Tournament. The wagons were initially supposed to run on Clutch Mountain,but after a few unsuccessful test runs, management decided to move the wagons to the "There and Back" track to see how the vans could do with some "air time." Ryan Kelly, Lily the Dog, Doug and Second Hand Speed would all have first crack at the track in group one. Doug took a quick lead and held onto it for most of the first race, even when he got turned sideways, and went over, catching big air and landing sideways, but couldn't hold the lead at the end as Lily would slip by and steal the points from Doug. Doug got a jump out to the lead again in the second race, but this time no one could catch him as he ran fast for first. Second Hand Speed was trying to make a push on Doug but landed on his side coming off the jump giving second to Lily the Dog. In race three Second Hand Speed pulled into a quick lead, but as Lily the Dog tried to make a move for first, Speed got turned sideways and slowed Lily down coming over the jump, allowing Doug to move into second, and Ryan Kelly to steal third place right before the finish. Kelly beat Lily out of the gate to start race four, but Lily stuck close and got tied up with Kelly when she tried to pass coming over the jump. Ryan recovered quickly and grabbed a first place finish, while Lily got tied up

with Doug right after getting free of Kelly. In the end, Second Hand Speed got by to finish second, while Lily and Doug both got DNF's. Doug and Ryan Kelly would both tie and survive round one to move on to the semi-finals. Durty Murry, Fractal Panda, Mayfield41 and Jakeli all comprised group two, but first to try the new jump after it was extended. Mayfield 41 grabbed a quick lead in race one and soon got turned sideways with the pack pushing. Over the jump, Mayfeild recovered, but Jakeli slid by Mayfield to steal first, with Murray pushing in third, and Panda git a DNF.

from fourth, to move up to challenge Panda, but Panda spun to block Mayfield going into the jump taking away Mayfields momentum. Off the jump, Panda broke away from Mayfield to hold onto first, while Murray bumped his way past Mayfield for second. Panda and Jakeli were nose to nose from the start of race four until

In the second race Mayfield and Murray rocketed down the track for some huge, huge air and finished first and second. Panda grabbed third but Jaleli would suffer a DNF after being knocked off the track by a very wild Murray. Panda led the pack in race three as Mayfeild came May 6, 2021 | 13
