Report

The race got off to an anticlimactic start, as a gate malfunction resulted in a false start. This led to the racing being restarted, and the gate being opened by hand. Upon the restart, Ghost Plasma, Ducktape, and Comet, all of whom were sitting in the bottom half of the overall standings coming into the race, quickly separated themselves from the rest of the pack. Although sitting third in the leading pack near the halfway point, Comet was able to maintain enough speed to roll all the way over a steep wall, an alternate path which ultimately gave them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. On the final stretch, Ghost Plasma managed a final push, but was expertly blocked by the leader, who remained victorious by a margin of just +00.02 s. The result launched Comet 15 spots up the general standings to third place, while the rookie Ducktape moved up 10 spots to fourth. 19 marbles finished the race, leaving Slimer behind.
