Season 10 championship recap

To say the Season 10 sponsored by Diecast X Magazine ended in somewhat of an surprise might be an understatement. The hands-down favorite in the bracket was the 300C FTE but the rookie Ferrari 458 Spider decided to crash the party with a 3rd round upset. It wasn't a blow out by any means, the Chrysler put up a great fight that made for some spectacular action on the track, but in the end the Ferrari proved its worth. But wait! That wasn't even the final round!!

The video picks up in Round 2 (I had to conserve battery) but there was little drama in the opening races anyway. The Ferrari California and Chevy truck had a hell of a match-up that could have gone eitherway and the Off Track FTE kept up with the Chrysler FTE a lot better than one probably would have expected. But in the end, the showdown was between the Spider and the non-FTE Chrysler. It was back-n-fourth between the American paperweight and the exotic roadster...but after the last flag was raised in the name of good old fashioned Detroit steel, the Chrysler 300C Hemi takes home the gold.

On the leaderboard, IowaStockcars AGAIN beat out the rest of the field with 2215 points overall, which earns him a third championship trophy plus the subscription to Diecast X Magazine. McJiggles9 and JDC gave it all they had but Iowa once again proved he can pick the winners with the best of them. Congratulations, Iowa and a big thanks to everyone that played this season.

Season 10 was a milestone for Redline Derby and the Fantasy League. Not only has the site and game grown thanks to support from members like you, for the first time the weekly races were held on a different track every week! I can't thank all the host tracks enough for their effort, time and tracks. Everything went off without a hitch.

Season 11 will be starting up in early October, so I hope to see everyone back for a new season of racing with new cars and more tracks.

I decided to gamble on the "unknown factor"...the `78 Dodge p/u. At least I remained in 4th place!
