Photos from latest Tube Race!

Oct 20, 2007 Hedgehogs4Me link
I came, in a EC-89 mind you, as a reporter for the latest of Mick's Tube Race events. I ended up as more of a photographer, which didn't make much of a difference to Sharingan, who killed me just after the last race. Err... thanks.

Photo below: this is, I believe, a photo of all contestants, minus Little Destroyer, who joined about halfway through and ended up getting an amazing THREE points. Yay.

Photo below: Someone in a yellow vult going into a skinnier, opaque part of B-5.

Photo below: 3 ships following each other closely, most probably in D-5.

Photo Below: Forget which track this is, but I wouldn't want to do that part in a vulture.

Photo below: This track is... well, whatever one has that giant broken roid in the center. These racers might be having issues with each other.

Photo below: Mick, THIS is why I keep missing the tube race. It looks like an oh-dear situation waiting to happen.

Photo below: Very artsy-looking picture, one could argue that its vague-ness would captures one's sole in a tissue box.

Photo below: I think this is H-5. Anyway, it's the one with the abandoned station and almost no chance of seeing what's in front of you.

Photo below: I think I feel sorry for that Centurion.

Photo below: rounding an interesting-looking turn with something after it, but which tubes are which?

last Photo: After all the races were over. I think this is Iry, not sure. Sharingan started shooting at me shortly after this (for being paparazzi maybe?), but as I was in a weapons-less EC-89, he killed me easily. Next time, I don't think I'll come. Too dangerous a profession.

Well, unless Mick REALLY wants me to...

PS. These were about a seventh of the photos I took, the rest I decided weren't good enough.

PPS. If these links lead you to a pic that doesn't match the description, well, I guess that's 2-3 AM for you.

What do you mean by that? That there's possibility a lot of crashes?
But that's why it's so much more fun then flying alone :D

And i'll be glad to have you as reporter but would like you to race much more :)

Nice work Panis.

I already uploaded them to our server and updated the 'Videos, Screen Dumps, ...' topic on our forum.

For future reports, you can use our server to upload the photos.
Contact me in game to give you the ftp access data.
