The race is
on...
One new entry in the Short Circuit's unlimited class today, with
Orange Sheets sailing the newly-minted
Squeeze My Viper neatly in front of my Corvette. For now, I will resist the urge to squeeze it...
In the Sidewinder Challenge we've had an entry from
Aken B., who has been marred by technical glitches all over the place. My personal theory is that the cookiebots have infected Aken's ship, preventing him from completing a clean run. Either way, he's temporarily propping up the board for now!
The same cannot be said for
furrycat, who has improved his time to slipstream ever closer to Cookiehole's top spot. Is the cat just playing with its food, or will the cookie tough it out? Three days to find out!
Over in the Black Sheep, we have a couple of surprises. First up,
Cookiehole has completed a run that doesn't put him in the lead; perhaps he's mortal after all!
Further up the board, one of our latest members
Kastar has catapulted himself straight into second place in the highly affordable
Volvo Pls. With her pilot already scheming on how to shave some more time off and apparently prepped for another run, we could be seeing more from this little Hauler!
Finally, over in the Token Ring
Alec Turner has made up for being dethroned elsewhere by sending
The Fokkest Uppest flying past Cookiehole's
Trusty Trader into the lead. With rumours of other pilots honing their skills ready for this run, it looks like the longest of the routes could continue heating up as we head towards the weekend.
Finally, in the Staging Area we've gained
Terrorsidic, ready to compete in the Asp Explorer
Asp and the Sidewinder
Sidewinder. Excellent naming convention I say, very easy to remember. (Lookin' at you,
Xiao Xiong Mao )
Now, what will today bring?
