Chases in OVA a la Spirit of the Century

I grafted the Chase rules from Spirit of the Century onto OVA and they worked great!
Assume you're being chased in-game.
In short, declare a DN that you (chasee) want to hit for the maneuver that you'll attempt. If you pass, you pull the maneuver off. If you fail, you subtract the margin of failure from your mode of transportation's endurance.
The chaser rolls against the DN you stated. If the chaser succeds, then subtract the margin of success from your mode of transportation's endurance. If they fail, then they subtract the margin of failure from their or their mode of transportation's endurance.
The chase ends when someone runs out of endurance. To make the chase take less time, multiply DN x margin of failure/success.
The test scenario was of two giant spiders chasing my wife's elf who was on horseback tearing down a forest path. She helped the whittling of the spiders' endurance with her bow but a few times things got a little spooky.
Long spider legs were grasping through the ebb and flow of the chase as the foul arachnids verged on overtaking the horse and elven rider.
