All of the turtle vans, or traveling wagons, 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.

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 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 coming off the jump, at that point Panda came across the track to block out Jakeli and secure the win. Jakeli held off an advancing Murray to keep his second place finish, but blocking Murray from the points he needed to advance.

In the end, even with the crazy finish, Fractal Panda and Mayfield 41 would be headed on to the next round.

In group three Kit Kayem, R-lo, Kirk Adams and Idiot Luggage had their party wagons ready to go.

Adams and R-lo started race one even, but R-lo jumped into the lead and spun sideways before the jump. Idiot pushed up into the pack going into the jump and helped R-lo regain control and hold the lead to finish first. Kirk fell into third coming off the jump, and a very gutsy Kit Kayem tried to bounce off Adams' roof and into second, but fell off the side to DNF instead. Kirk did come back to finish second, leaving Luggage in third.

In race two, the pack was tight going through the turn and heading towards the jump, but Idiot went sideways in front of the pack going into the jump. Idiot, R-lo and Adams all slowed coming off the jump, but once again a very gutsy Kit Kayem tried to jump the entire pack, but ended up on his side and blocking the track just shy of the finish line, causing a rare quad DNF.

Race two was re-run but this time Idiot gets out of the gate slowly allowing Kirk and R-lo free reign. Kayem got around the hindering Luggage but couldn't quite catch R- lo, who finished first, and Adams who took second.

Kayem grabs the lead followed closely by Adams in race three, when Idiot was slow out of the gate. Adams began to press Kit, and the two got tied up allowing Luggage to steal first from Kayem, who came in second with Kirk in third and R-lo in fourth

In the final race Kit Kayem fought out to the lead and held it to finish first, but right behind Kit, Kirk had to block out Idiot to hold onto second, leaving Luggage in third and R-lo in fourth.

With the final block, Adams would join R-lo to advance to the next round.

Group four, Daddy G, Oliver James, Second Hand Speed 2, and Dangerous Dawn, would be the last of the first round.

Daddy G and Oliver James started race one in a tie for the lead, but Daddy G snatched the lead and then some huge air off the jump to finish first. Dangerous Dawn came off the jump hot, but James blocked her out to hold onto second, Dawn finished third and Second Hand's 2nd finished fourth.

In the second race James and Dawn were neck and neck coming into the turn, but Dawn got dangerous and turned on the jets to fly by James for the lead. Dawn's speed was dangerous as it took her right off the track coming off the jump, while Second hand managed to sneak up and past Oliver and finish first, James finished second and Daddy G rolled in third.

Dawn broke out to a fast lead with Second Hand, James and Daddy G close behind in race three. Coming out of the corner Dawn got on her side, but as Second Hand pushed her over the jump, Dawn miraculously recovered to hold on for first, with Second Hand second, James in third and Daddy G fourth.

Daddy G and Second Hand started out strong on the final race until Daddy G got around Second Hand to take the lead. Daddy G got spun, but managed to recover and hang on to first while James and Second Hand fought for second. James wins the battle, and second place, Second hand followed in third and Dawn in fourth.

Oliver James and Second Hand's 2nd were tied for second so there would be a tie-breaker round to see who would join Daddy G and move on.

In the first tie-breaker race, Oliver James got ahead of Second Hand to take the first win.

In race two James gets out in front of Second Hand to try to block him but Second Hand slides to the inside to get around James causing the two to lose control and spin.

James recovers backwards in the lead followed by Second Hand, James gains speed over the jump and gets a little wild putting two wheels up on the wall and grinding out the race and into the next round with Daddy G.
