Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

I'd like to enter as Mercy Machine in "Zatopek", my Hornet Convoy Guardian. It's my first Deneb Run; is there a rookie division... ;)

I intend to race; ( it's not a certainty that I will be there, but it's quite likely) :-) -- Foo Fighter

I intend to race as Istamir Sol

I'm having the same login problem as always. When my packets are routed thru rr.com, I can reach the webserver, but cannot reach the gameserver.

Probably I will forfait the race.

Sorry about the results taking so long. It's been a really hectic week at school, and last weekend was no better. This coming week looks to be even worse.

==The Racers==
Foo Fighter - Itani pilot, council of ITAN. He also runs the Betting Shop.
Mercy Machine - UIT member of TGFT. This was his first race.
Smittens - Itani member of ITAN. Pretty sure this isn't his first race, but I'm not entirely positive.
Istamir Sol - Itani pilot. He's been racing a bunch recently, and he has consistently done well.

==The Results==
Istamir Sol | 28:41 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, no weapons.
Smittens | 30:29 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, no weapons.
Mercy Machine | 38:59 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian ("Zatopek"), FC, no weapons.
Foo Fighter | DNF | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, no weapons.

==Observations==
1) All racers were in Orion Hornets tonight. The EC-107 seems to have dropped out of favor as one of the most commonly-used racers these days.
2) Foo's DNF was caused by typing while being chased by a Strike Force in Geira Rutilus, not by another player.

The next Deneb Run will be in the EARLY slot.
