card. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-He's also very +ADw-br+AD4- skilled having won most of the league events. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I +ACo-know+ACo- that shifting out +ADw-br+AD4- gave me the edge over the AI in accelerating out of the turns and down +ADw-br+AD4- the stretch. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-All in all, Bristol was a lot of fun and Dover should be +ADw-br+AD4- much of the same. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Mike +ADw-br+AD4-
