Alrighty, we had four racers tonight and a wonderful but silent crowd. The damn Applause sign must be broken again.

So here we go:

Joloc - Councilor of the Phoenix Alliance and veteran racer, this is his first race in a while.

Raze Aretou - Serco member of PA, this is his second race. He also makes very nice gun covers(see notes).

Cranston Gorky - Councilor of the ITG, who has raced before but still somewhat green to the Run. By no means a newbie, he was not the favored racer of the Run.

Impavid - Pilot of the Vipers, favored racer to win (in my opinion) and veteran racer as well.

Results:

Cranston Gorky - 31:49 - TPG Atlas X, FC Battery and 1 set of Gemini Homing Missiles
Impavid - 32:54 - Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC Battery, No Weps
Joloc - 33:24 - EC-107, FC Battery, No Weps
Rae Aretou - Warthog, Ultracharge battery, 1x Gauss Cannong and 1x Locust Missile Launcher

Notes:

1) The race for second between Joloc and Impavid was very close for the first half of the race. This was superceded by the close race for first between Impavid and Cranston Gorky for most of the second half of the race. Impavid even attained first place position for a whole system.

2) Impavid, very flabbergasted at not holding onto first place, went to Odia K-12 to dock instead of Odia M-14, the Run's finish line. He did realize his error quickly and docked while still retaining second place.

3) Joloc docked with an amazing 3% of his hull remaining after being hounded by the pirate Beast Raban from Deneb to Odia.

4) Raze Aretou did a Deneb Run first: He was the first and only racer to make a pitstop to deliver CTC cargo to his nation's processing facility, the first Serco drop of the week.

5) Raze also was knitting some Neutron Blaster Covers, perfect for keeping your guns warm and ready to deliver death to thy foes. Also very stylish and easy to customize. Don't like your style anymore? Take it off and put a new one on in under a minute, it's that simple!

Congrats to the runners! I'm very happy to see fresh meat to the event, and I look forward to challenge them in the next ones.

I was just too tired to race yesterday: running at 3-4am after a very stressful work week wasn't my cup of tea. But next week I hope to see them all back on the starting grid.

Ah, Raze is in PA as well. ;)

Beast Raban did a great job keeping up, I am sure they would have placed if they raced.
