Yup
Good story, yet a slightly disappointing sudden end.
Maybe not disappointing, completely, but it seemed to stop a bit suddenly in an unexpected manner. I wasn't necessarily expecting them to -win-, but having not one, but both cars fail from the exact same problem, within a lap or two of each other? To me, that screams more sabotage than 'we knew it was going to happen'.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
Aw Fudge Moments
While I understand the concerns and/or suspicions about failing due to the same issue, that has happened more than once with drivers from the same team(s) running basically the same equipment. IIRC, these were new engines using state-of-the-art cutting edge technology that maybe was pushing the envelope a tad too much! Besides, this way we can look forward to having kelly and the twins with Robby next year!
The reason I have the
The reason I have the 'suspicious' moment is that Beth doesn't ride her car quite as hard. In fact, she's had one fewer engine/powerplant replacement, based on the story details. Two in the same race, sure, but two within a few minutes of each other - that's suspicious.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
real life example
in the 2017 NASCAR season during the Southern 500 at Darlington speedway I watched as two of the three Hendricks Motorsports cars blew their engines within two laps of each other. Of the two drivers only one was really pushing his car's engine. Sadly this same situation has happened more times than NASCAR officials would like to or are willing to talk about.

The classic for it
is Mansell's tyre blow-out at Adelaide on Brabham straight.
The team car, driven by Keke, blew the same tyre the lap before, though not a badly.
Keke heard it delamitate, but thought it was the engine so turned it off and pulled over. By the time he realised what it was it was too late to tell the pits.
Hell, he says he could have limped in and changed it.
Do You Remember?
Remember the year Andy bought all 33 cars, and the track broke?
So what next?
Shame to see this end but I can't wait for the sequel but in the meantime what's next? Perhaps another Death Dealer story or maybe some new chapters of Interview with a Lolita?

fantastic
Oh Poo
Well Poo. I so enjoy this story and now have to wait for the next book/season. Loved it start to finish and looking forward to the new league.
This ending is awesome.
I was expecting them to take the championship. This ending is SO much better. And I'm glad you are thinking of doing another volume. Thank you.
Odd ending
looking forward to more.
Now that this story has ended
Now that this story has ended for now, I was hoping that you would now pick back up the Lolita story. I miss that story.
Great Run
Bobbie and Beth had a great Run for a Rookie Year. They will continue to be competitors to beat in any league they compete in. Thanks for the wonderful story, and looking forward to the sequel. (You do sequels so well).

if Roberta has that much
if Roberta has that much problems with counter clockwise tracks she's not going to do very good on the Nascar tracks they are pretty much all counter clockwise tracks
Not sure that it's gonna be difficult
Unlike the F1 tracks, it's not hairpins and varying degree turns. Turns really is less appropriate of a term, I would say they are a bit closer to curves, since the need to slow isn't nearly as great. Cars should also have a more consistent setup, so it wont be as radical of changes in the pits, making the turns a bit more predictable.
UK tracks
Now there's a sign we're in an alternate universe - Brooklands closed in 1938 (parts remain, but not the entire circuit), and while the site has a "Mercedes-Benz World", the associated track is definitely not an oval. Rockingham briefly existed from 2001 to 2018, but is now being redeveloped as an automotive logistics hub.
However, there is one live circuit - Brands Hatch, which is used for the NASCAR Whelan Euro Series; while the British Touring Car Championships (Touring Cars are still derived from production models, while NASCAR uses a common base design) also use Thruxton, Silverstone, Snetterton, Donnington Park, Oulton Park, Croft and Knockhill.
Meanwhile, it's a shame both sisters are being moved out of F1 given how much they dominated it in their single season, but at least they'll still be together with at least some of the pit crew.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
