Just as the TROC Series mercury scandal seemed to settle around Dalton Thorpe, a new twist has emerged that could upend the entire investigation. Rumors have surfaced that another competitor, known only as **KW**, recently took a trip to the Bahamas—along with none other than **Keith Thorpe**—and returned with several liters of mercury in tow. This revelation is sending shockwaves through the paddock, adding yet another layer of intrigue to an already complex situation.
Sources within the TROC community have confirmed that Keith and KW were seen together on this trip, raising eyebrows about their intentions. While there’s no evidence yet linking the mercury found near Dalton Thorpe’s car to KW and Keith, the timing of this discovery has left many wondering whether there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
**The Bahamas Connection**
The key question on everyone’s mind: what were KW and Keith doing with mercury in the first place? Mercury is a substance often used in racing to manipulate weight distribution, and both KW and Keith have a vested interest in seeing Dalton’s championship hopes falter. Some are speculating that the mercury secured during their trip may have made its way back to the track—not for their own cars, but as part of a larger scheme to sabotage Dalton Thorpe’s title run.
“There’s definitely something strange about the timing of this,” one insider said. “You don’t just come back from the Bahamas with mercury for no reason, especially not in racing.”
The connection between Keith Thorpe and KW is only fueling more speculation. While Dalton and Keith’s family rivalry is well-known, no one expected Keith to be involved in something this shady. However, with Keith’s recent struggles on the track and his long-standing frustration with Dalton’s success, some believe Keith could be desperate enough to bend the rules—or at least, to not play by them.
**A Sabotage Plot?**
As the mercury scandal unfolds, the possibility that KW and Keith are part of a deliberate sabotage attempt is gaining traction. With Dalton Thorpe leading the points and both KW and Keith eyeing their own competitive goals, the theory suggests that the two may have collaborated to set Dalton up, planting the mercury to trigger an investigation that could disqualify him from the championship.
Of course, this is still speculation. Neither KW nor Keith has commented on their Bahamas trip, and there’s no hard proof—yet—that ties them directly to the mercury found near Dalton’s car. But the coincidence is hard to ignore, and as the TROC officials dig deeper into the case, it’s only a matter of time before more details emerge.
**Keith Thorpe’s Silence**
What’s particularly telling is Keith Thorpe’s silence on the matter. Normally outspoken when it comes to his nephew, Keith has remained tight-lipped since the mercury scandal broke. Some in the paddock are taking this as a sign that he may have more to hide than just his own racing struggles.
Others believe Keith’s involvement might be less about sabotage and more about trying to outsmart the system. Could Keith and KW have been experimenting with mercury for their own cars, hoping to gain an advantage for themselves? If so, why was Keith so willing to go on this trip, and what role did KW play in obtaining the mercury?
**Where Does This Leave Dalton?**
For Dalton Thorpe, this new development adds another layer of pressure. With the final race of the season just days away, he’s not only fighting to prove his innocence but also to fend off multiple rivals who seem determined to see him fall. If Keith and KW were truly working behind the scenes, Dalton’s championship could be on even shakier ground than it first appeared.
TROC,s new Chief Technical Inspector, Stormy Weathers III, has promised a thorough investigation into the entire mercury situation, and now KW and Keith’s Bahamas trip is under scrutiny as well. “We’re looking into all aspects of this case,” Weathers said. “Nothing’s off the table, and we’ll be taking a close look at everyone involved.”
As the final race looms, the TROC Series has never seen this level of drama, with drivers, teams, and now even family ties coming into question. One thing is clear: what started as a simple mercury discovery has turned into a full-blown conspiracy, with more questions than answers.
The truth may come out in time, but for now, fans and competitors alike are left wondering: was Dalton Thorpe the victim of a sabotage plot? And if so, how deep does the connection between Keith Thorpe, KW, and this mystery in the Bahamas go?
