OBJECTIVE:
SCAR will make its return at GASP's upcoming game day. Each player will be issued the same $10,000 car and you'll be placed in this arena: North Dakota University Arena. Since we're just trying to get back into the swing of things, we'll make the objective simple. Blow away your opponents. For league standings, we will be using the standard point system that I've detailed in the League Rules. Hope to see you all there!

RE-CAP:

The return of SCAR proved to be a knock down drag out fight. When we say last man standing, we mean it! There were six drivers each driving a compact car with an RR front and an SD with explosive spikes rear. Each car started off at a random location in the arena.

Because of the large spacing between vehicles, each was able to pick up some hefty speed before engaging the enemy. The first serious confrontation came when Dave "the Hitman" Hartman rammed into the left side of Jim "Confetti Boy" Robertson at 80 mph. Cleanup crews were later quoted as saying "Oooh... icky!" when cleaning up Jim's remains. Unfortunately for Terry "Spike Fodder" Mealy, Jim had left a legacy of spikes across the battlefield before going to meet his maker. Terry rolled over the spikes of many of his competitors before finally hitting one of Jim's while in the middle of a spin-out. The spikes destroyed what was left of Terry's tires, giving Jim the kill post-humously. Terry's driver did survive the ordeal, however, and was seen toasting to Jim's memory at a local bar later that evening.

Meanwhile, while Terry was regretting his decision to use Firestone tires, Steve "Vertigo" Caldwell came screaming past. In a desperate attempt to dodge Terry's out of control car, Steve sent his own car into a deadly spin. Steve, also equipped with Firestone tires, had the remaining rubber ripped from his wheels by the hard asphalt. Riding on only rims, Steve tried desperately to rejoin the fray. Unfortunately for him, Don "Cherry Picker" McCalmon would have none of it. Don took advantage of the situation and rammed Steve into the wall and initiated a deadly stand-off. Steve immediately opened up with his RR firing at Don's front armor which had been weakened by the impact. Steve's RR penetrated Don's armor and disabled his PP, giving Steve the kill. By this time, Tony "Wallhugger" Lash had made his way around the arena to lay the smack down on the already troubled Steve/Don combo. Tony's initial ram squisses Don's driver into something resembling grape jelly, but Steve manages to survive... but not for long. Showing no mercy (gotta love that!) Tony backs up and unloads his remaining RR rounds on Steve's nearly immobile vehicle. Steve's armor is not enough to protect against Tony's assault and his hapless driver passes on... wondering if really would have made a difference if he had switched to Geico.

Oh yeah, remember that Dave Hartman guy? Well, he's still around, but on the other side of the arena. Of course, his little run in with Jim has left his front armor decimated, and he is out of RR ammo. But, these are real men we are talking about here, and this is a last man standing competition! The two remaining combatants move toward the center of the arena for a final showdown... Dave approaching backward to use his untouched rear armor. Then, both desperate to be the last operational vehicle, proceeded to: 1) Ram, 2) Backup, 3) Repeat. Apparently in honor of the classic demolition derby. The final outcome was not really what either driver had hoped for, but the crowd loved it! The final ram broke through the remaining armor of both vehicles and crushed their respective drivers. It was later found that neither of them was wearing clean underwear.

After the carnage ended and the judges tallied point totals, Tony came out on top with 17 points, thanks to his two kills. Steve and Dave tied at 10 points a piece, their totals bolstered by their individual kills. Jim managed 6 points thanks to his post-humous kill. Terry squeaked out with only 1 point, but he did have the only surviving driver. And last, but not least was Don with a sad -3. Too bad he wasn't able to take Steve out before Tony came along.
