    Or any other race?

    If I were there, I could write one but I am not.

    Starting order
    #7 Strega
    #5 Voodoo
    #8 Dreadnought
    #71 Sawbones
    #114 Argonaut
    #924 924
    #35 Full Noise

    Start/Pace Lap
    Coming down the chute, Voodoo beats Strega to the first turn and takes a solid lead on the backside, flying low and tight. Strega takes a higher line.

    Lap 1
    Voodoo, Strega, Dreadnought behind by about 1/8 lap.
    Voodoo ahead by about 20 plane lengths.

    Lap 3
    As Voodoo and Strega come onto the front straight, they are overhauling Full Noise, which they pass going around Pylon 1. Voodoo maintains the lead, with Strega still a little higher. Coming out of the valley of speed, they lap 924.

    Lap 4
    By the back stretch, Strega has cut Voodoo lead in half and has a high line but doesn't convert it into further gains. Entering the Vallely of Speed, they lap Argonaut. Strega enters the 7-8-9 turn fairly high but comes down as they enter the front straight.

    Lap 5
    Strega and Voodoo are nearly even by the time they get to the hillside and pylon 4. Strega still has the high line but doesn't convert into further gains.

    Lap 6

    Voodoo leads Strega by 10 plane lengths across the start/finish line.
    At the hillside, they lap Full Noise again, with Strega higher and outside. Strega may have momentarily gotten the lead but is behind again by the time they enter the valley of speed. Separation is now two plane lengths.

    Coming out of the valley, they lap Sawbones and all three come across the start/finish line abreast, Strega high, then Voodoo, Sawbones lowest. Voodoo is going wide around Sawbones, and is in a position to see the other two aircraft, which hold their lines. White flag is up.

    Lap 7
    Coming around pylon 1-2-3 Voodoo is wide and falling behind, strega converts altitude and takes the lead heading into 4.
    Strega goes very high around 924 at pylon 5 and loses ground, but regains it and takes a low line by the valley of speed, with a 5 length lead.

    Voodoo takes an even lower line. As they lap Dreadnought around 7-8-9, Voodoo is close to pylon height, with Strega above.

    Strega takes the checkered flag, followed by Voodoo and Dreadnought.
