Top250: RiF hangs on

The Top250 $100,000 promotion enters the crucial phase. RiF was still busy as a bee and might have a wire to wire win.

Dunebuggy didn't fade away and collected over 72,000 points by May 25th. But RiF left nothing to chance and increased his lead even more. At this point, he is in the front with over 30,000 points.

The high flyer of April could thus be beat and RiF would be the second $10,000 winner after Dunebuggy. Or will the latter be able to come up with a 50,000 points week? In a few days, we'll know who'll get the win bonus and who has to be satisfied with $6,000.

2 DuneBuggy 72 782 $6,000

In the remaining Top 10, quite a few changes were seen: kingpowl moved from the fifth place into the $4,000 ranks. StarsAbove remained on fourth place and was able to build up a minimal lead over the coach and fellow BlackMember Shagg. New in the Top 8, a position which is worth $3,000, are Endos and mStar991.
