Take some time and raise your camera view to scan the twists and turns of this road from a birds` eye view and marvel at the beauty of the terrain of this winding roadway. The most prominent features are the steep mountainous pinnacles that border the roadway at some of the most critical points on the map. These pinnacles also drop into steep-sided chasms where the floor of these steep valleys are not visible because of the swirling radioactive mists shrouding the LONG drop to the bottom.  Image by Lord Foul The road leading up to the first `twin-cantilever` bridge is a favorite ambush point for the many pirates roaming this area of Evan because of the mountains bordering the road on both sides. The road also `hides` a few hazards before the hard 90 degree turn onto the bridge entry. The light grey spots on both sides of the road will RIP tires from your chassis. The pirates know this and will chase you at full speed hoping you will keep the throttle down and lose your tires just as fast as they will chasing you. The secret is: SLOW DOWN to about 50 mph just as you get to the grey-bordered road and go no faster. YES you will take some tire damage, but not as much because of your slower speed. Hopefully you have outrun the pirates just far enough that they can`t shoot at you when you slow down. They may get in range before you come to the bridge entry and take some pot-shots at you but most of their hits will be low damage hits because of the long range they will be firing at you from. Once you make the turn onto the bridge, keep an eye on the chat screen and watch the pirates tires FAIL as they disregard the 50 mph low-damage speed trying to chase you down. Hell!...... They may even pile up on each-other at the turn to the bridge. Getting them to lose tires worse than you is the key to escaping more or less intact on this map. DO NOT fall into the chasm the bridges cross.. You will NEVER get out! My name is Louis Paxton, and I am having the most fun I`ve ever had in my life. I screamed in exhilaration as I spun around another corner, doing 120 miles per hour, scraping the sides of the opponent cars all around me. I was in the middle of the group. Thinking fast, I jammed the steering wheel left, pressing another car and all the others around it straight into the wall. The door to the car on the far left hit the stone barriers hard and its armor all sheared away, leaving a gaping hole inside the door itself. The rest of the cars slammed into each other, fishtailing and swerving out of control. The result was like throwing a rock into a school of fish. `Don`t get too crazy, will ya?!` Dexter Zehnner, my gunner, yelled next to me. `Some of us don`t have a death wish!` `Just warming up for when the guns activate!` I yelled back over the roar of the motors. A huge, stupid grin was on my face. My manoeuvre had left a big opening in the cars. Stepping on the pedal, I rushed through it. Third place now. `Weapons activate in 15 seconds.` I heard over the speakers. Dexter was smiling along with me; his hands gripped tight on the joystick which aimed the heavy machine-guns we had armed on the front and back of our car. I attempted a PIT maneauver on the second place car. I got right beside its rear bumper, and turned to the right. However, the driver had seen me and with quick thinking, evaded me and slowed down, trailing right behind me. I could see his weapon bristled, intending to unload all his ammo into the rear of our car. `Weapons activate in 10 seconds.` `Dexter, see that car behind us?` `Already on it, boss. With any luck, I`m going to lodge a nice big lump of lead right into the barrel of that gun.` I scoffed. `Good luck with that. You`ll probably get us killed trying.` `Hey, you said you were warmed up in your evasive manoeuvres, right?` He teased back at me. `Weapons activate in 3.` I licked my lips. `2.` Dexter wiped his sweaty palms, and grabbed the joystick again. `1....` Shots were heard everywhere, now. Bright flashes of gunfire shone off the armor of the cars around me. The loudest ones were behind me. My car`s rear gun, and the car behind me`s gun. You could literally hear the bullets riccocheting off of my rear armor, leaving huge dents, as if the bullets themselves were hungry to blast inside and rip me and Dexter apart. Suddenly, the situation dawned on me, and I smiled. The recoil from the powerful weaponry being fired from my rear, added with the bullets from the car behind me propelling us forward, added to that car`s recoil pushing it back, we were losing them. Speeding away. I quickly turned and used another car beside me as a meat shield for cover. He was busy firing at another car behind him. `Hey, his armor was almost down!` Dexter complained. I quickly glanced at the rear armor of our car. It looked like tinfoil, crumpled and stretched out again. `So was ours.` I said. Another surge of adrenaline rushed through my body as I drove the steering wheel to the right, and pulled another sharp turn, doing a good 140 miles an hour now. The tires screamed in protest as I drifted through a 90 degree turn, literally trading paint with the car I hid behind. I saw Dexter study the map of the track we had. He suddenly looked frantic. `Next turn is a hairpin! It`s dead ahead!` `Perfect. Get ready!` I yelled. I was thinking faster than I could even follow. `Ready for what?!` Dexter yelled. `Front guns!` `What? Fro-` I turned left for a bit, leaving the cover of the oblivious car, and into my personal opponent`s view, then jammed the steering wheel right. Dexter and I were thrown sideways against the restraints of the racing seatbelts, as we turned a hundred and seventy degrees into the hairpin. `NOW!` I commanded. Just now understanding my plan, Dexter opened fire upon my enemy`s weakened front armor with a fresh, fully loaded heavy machine gun. With the handbrake activated, the recoil from our shots shook the car, shaking my head and further dizzying me, along with the cannon-sounding shots themselves. My enemy`s already crumpled front armor took each hit with satisfying `thwump` noises. The half-pound bullets crashed into the wrinkles of the armor - shearing and tearing it away in chunks. Shrapnel flew everywhere. The people inside were terrified. One of them jumped right out of the thing, still going highway speed. He would have lived. Unfortunately, the cars around him were going two times faster than highway speed. I closed my eyes as the man`s body got mangled and crushed and broken. His maker didn`t even slow down, either. When I opened my eyes again, all that was left of the guy was a bloody, re-arranged body with four flat spaces around his torso and legs. Dexter wasn`t done firing yet. If we let the other guy live, he`d spend the rest of his life trying to avenge his buddy. So Dex kept on shooting. Our enemy`s front armor wasn`t even existant anymore. Each shot pounded and broke off chunks of the now exposed engine, shortly setting it on fire. `Crap, Louis, RUN!` He yelled at me. I literally stood on the pedal and gained speed again. And I did. I ran like I never have before. Then the poor driver we left for dead, and his car, exploded. The sheer force of the explosion caused by that powerful engine turned the remains of our rear armor to dust. I felt flames lick my back, but pull back before I got burned. `Woo! How was that! One second later and that would have been us, man!` Dexter was cheering, half crazed by adreneline, and half crazed by shock. I didn`t answer him for a while. `Well,` I finally said. `We got no rear armor. Lets let the other guys kill each other, then we can rush in and take the spoils of whatever`s left.` Another pause. `Sounds good to me.` I kept a steady speed of 60 miles per hour. Went through lap two, lap three, and finally lap four. It was all uneventful, besides the sad remains of the unlucky racers. When we crossed the finish line, Dexter took a deep breath, then said, `Well, hope the hosts of whoever runs this wont be too mad at us.` He shut down the guns, and I stopped the car. We got out, and headed back towards the stands. I suddenly broke into another stupid grin. `Hell, the crowd probably loved it!`  Bertha `Quickdraw` McGraw of Whiskey Runners died at Telegraph Road.
