Week 1: Laguna Seca

The first race of the season has taken place unfortunately I fell asleep in the middle of the race and had a terrible nightmare. In the beginning of the nightmare, Proof drove out to the early lead followed by Ford. Farther back in the pack Top and Viking had a run in that sent both of them spinning done the frontstretch with little damage being incurred. Once the race settled down, two groups began to form on the track. The leading group consisted of Proof, Ford, and Viking swapping the lead followed by Mini, Top, and Demon fighting for 4th. Nearing the end of the race, Ford had fallen back off the lead leaving Viking and Proof to do what they normally do, beat each other up and using up all of their stuff, when they could've walked away and decided the race between themselves. More jostling toward the end left the running order, Viking, Ford, and Proof all within a couple seconds to start the final lap. Going down the Rahal straight for the 29th and final time Ford pulled along side Viking. Both drivers then closed their eyes and prayed into the Corkscrew. After the melee, Ford drive free to the finish line as Viking sat at the bottom of the Corkscrew to then be T-boned by Proof. Wait, what, this wasn't a nightmare? it actually happened?!.

The final finishing order for the Tiger Woods Invitational to Mazda 65 was:

1st: Ford*
2nd: Proof*
3rd: Viking*
4th: Top
5th: Mini
6th: Demon
7th: Bad
8th: Road
