The Wiccan BeWare race 3308
Finally, the race is over folks.
It has been said that insurance costs in the local area have suddenly halved and the used spare parts market has tripled overnight. The local scrap dealers also seem to have a very large stock at the moment. I wonder why?
The race, a light hearted tip of the hat to the original Wiccan Ware Race has been hilarious to watch. Commanders from all over the place have “dropped in” laid down a time and then thought about it and came back for more. At times it was starting to resemble an episode of that classic cartoon “Wacky Races”.
It has been such a large field of entrants that it would be difficult to single out many individual commanders. In fact, there have been in excess of 100 submissions!
In that light however we must mention the winners in both categories! They really are talented racers and the times they achieved show that perfectly. In regulation we must congratulate
Cmdr Bruski,
Cmd Sgurr and
Cmdr Shaye Blackwood. In unlimited we must congratulate
Cmdr Shaye Blackwood,
Cmdr Bruski and
Captain-MD. There does seem to be a pattern there doesn`t there? Well done all!
I would also like to genuinely thank the tons of pilots who came along, it feels like everyone came, had some fun, and took part in this race. I am honestly overwhelmed with the response. A big thank you to you all!
The
Buckyball Racing Club is holding races virtually every month this year and we would love you all to come along to have some more madcap fun, the next one starting on the 7th May is “On The Rocks” by Psykit. Be there!
Remember, anyone who raced and is part of the
Magic 8 Ball Championships will also get a minimum of 1 point added to their scores.
Finally, I would like to add a note of thanks to those who helped me set up what was in fact my first ever race. (and boy did I have to work for it) In particular I would like to thank Alec Turner, as I have been a pain in his side while doing this and could not have done it without his support. I would also like to add a personal thank you to Commander Sgurr for the initial testing and prepping. A big thanks as well to the rest of you who have supported me, especially when I made a couple of silly mistakes (of which I unreservedly apologise). It was a comfort to know help was at hand to dig me out if needed.
Hope everyone had fun!
See you at the next one!
Commander Sulu

I am going to have a sleep now.

, it must be down to "skill" or some other such nonsense
