Good question...full tank. I'll add that info to faq and other appropriate places.
Might want to be careful with that, just saying...

What are the chances you'd find my exact idea?!
For now the Sugar Glider is a definite "No Smoking" zone.
Intent to race:
CMDR Cookiehole
Tilikum (Orca)
Pro
Later probably also:
Crater Creator (iCourier)
Top Fuel

So basically you're entering the PRDA van from the original Cannonball? Sure, why not?

Well, the original question was about the Funny Car class, after all.
Some good action in the Stock Challenge class, with two new entries shaking up the podium! First came a run from CMDR Cheetah that was good enough for 2nd place, and therefore pushing CMDR Ready Eagle into the 3rd place spot. But then CMDR Bruski submitted a top-notch time, knocking CMDR Ready Eagle off the podium.
In addition to CMDR Cheetah's run, we have seen CMDR Cookiehole stage ships for the Pro and Top Fuel classes, wrapping up this report.
Will CMDR Ready Eagle make it back on to the podium with another run? Will we see a Top Fuel run submitted? And which staged ship will surprise us the most in the Pro class: the Orca, or the T-9 Heavy? Stay tuned and find out next time!

Yes! Thanks for mentioning that, I'd never heard of it before, it's a fun read though.

I guess I failed to provide for the *best* Funny Car Challenge option.
It legit made me a little sad when I realized I couldn't run an Orca in it, would've been the first time I could afford one in a race.

That whole book (Cannonball!, by Brock Yates) is great. I highly recommend it!
Actually, looking at it a bit more closely, I think that's a different version of the account than the one they submitted for the book. Or maybe this is the version that wasn't cut down for the book (because, you know, editors). I'll have to read the whole thing.

Did my Orca Run yesterday. It's not exactly fast (I guess twice as many jumps kinda are an excuse) and I messed up a bit (forgot to dock mid-race and then hurried back and took a few detours due to bad unscoopable-avoidance) but at least I flew in style
The video is uploading atm, so I'll submit it later today.
I'll set off for The Long Haul today, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do the Courier run before the end of the race. Do we have to submit our entries until 23:59:59 on the 7th or is there a bit more time (the video processing and upload takes a few hours and I'll be on vacation, so any attempts might be last mminute).

I'm back in the bubble and I've finished retuning Joyeuse , so...maybe not tonight, but soon.
I'm very happy to see people supporting the Jaques effort, so I'm going to be generous about race submissions...as long as you've sent in the netLog file in a timely manner and pre-calculated time, I'll be patient about visual evidence.Did my Orca Run yesterday.

Too many copy/paste errors in the cloning process?I had a go on stock and ran out of fuel so I aborted.. which was what happened when I tried fly me to the moon.
I think ive lost it .. too many regenerations of Kligg
Nope. That would create a mechanical difference between how the ships operate.
I wish!And have you discovered a magic dev mode bookmark import trick?
Hi!!
Intent to race:
CMDR Inodoro Pereyra
Red Target (Asp-X)
Pro
... computer decided to fully crash with BSOD... with only 5 jumps to finish, corrupting the video...
Will try tomorrow...
(2:04 with crash-wait-restart and finish the run)

Well, I have all the systems bookmarked. Next step, making a dry run with scanners so I have exploration data for all the systems so I can bookmark stations in the systems where I have to dock (otherwise I will absolutely, postitively forget to dock in one of those systems. I know myself far too well.)
In this update, we see movement on the Pro podium. CMDR Cookiehole plays the Orca card, temporarily landing in 2nd place, but CMDR Bruski once again posts a 1st-place time to push CMDRs Samwell Drakhyr and Cookiehole down.
Meanwhile we have new stagins from CMDRs Kliggy, Inodoro Pereyra, and Markzx59.
Will CMDR Bruski be the first to submit a Top Fuel entry to take the top podium position in 3 classes? Maybe, but I hear CMDR Timothy Knight revving up Joyeuse. Even the famous Imperial Courier beats out the unnamed Imperial Eagle, CMRD Bruski is still the only pilot to have staged a ship in the Funny Car Challenge, so stands a good chance at grabbing multiple podium spots.

I've not had time this week to prep yet, but I will definitely, absolutely definitely be making a run in the Top Fuel class before departing for Jacques.
Someone mentioned that if you use OBS and set the video format to .flv it avoids corruption if you have a crash.
Here's a link that explains the same thing, and also how you can very quickly create an mp4 copy afterwards. I've not got OBS set up myself yet, but I'll hopefully be using it for this race. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-convert-flvs-to-mp4-fast-without-re-encoding.78/
