Thank you for bringing up the races as well, looking at it after reading your recap I've realized that a change I made to the racing rules was never added in the working pdf afterwards! It would have been a real pain if it never made it into the shipped version haha.
Here's the way that the races are meant to work: Instead of only moving forward a space when succeeding on a Speed Roll, all teams automatically move forward one (unless stunned, shot at etc.) space each round but move two spaces instead if they succeed. This makes races a lot faster and a lot more exciting - they always finish within 8 rounds, usually closer to 5.
