Here's the final minute of my 39:28 unlimited run - perhaps the most cautious lap of a Buckyball race ever committed to record due to 1% hull and no shields! 
Never have a set of bobbleheads been less accurate.

I don't know. Most people would have stopped and taken their hands off the controls until the shield came back there.
Ahahahhh, AHAHAHAAHH, lol no.
No such thing as "until shields come back" here. It's an all in!
"Win It Or Bin It"Ahahahhh, AHAHAHAAHH, lol no.

P.S. foolishly or not I outfitted this ship in a bit of a hurry and forgot to use bi-weave shields so the ones I've got take ages to recharge. On the other hand they're only 1A's so I can do with all the extra strength I can get.
So Say We All.
What should have been a Race Sunday Morning... becomes a "get those 5 fricking kittens from the car's engine..."

They love the wrong warm places sometimes...a few years ago my boss felt a tiny squeaking from the car while driving home, thought it might be something from the service belt or the pump, the weird noise didn't stop when the car was already in the garage...he has an Alfa Giulietta, they called the kitty pup "Romeo"
OK, that's it - I'm done.
First of all I just wanted to thank @Terrorsidic for a REALLY terrific race. We don't really do a lot of these circuit loop races in the BRC (probably because of worries about how the hell to judge them accurately short of insisting on video submission, hours of which then has to be watched) but terrorsidic showed us that by actually not worrying too much (although I've no idea how hard judging this actually was) it worked brilliantly.
As an SRV race it was probably the toughest SRV challenge I've faced (these bases really aren't designed for SRV racing) and I have to say that once I'd broken the hour barrier I was pretty content with that (although I'd have loved to have been able to give Shaye more of a run for his money).
As a ship race it was kinda perfect, a pentathlon of circuit challenges if you will.
Loved it!
Anyway, I managed two more or less entirely clean runs this afternoon, one in each direction and am, for once, really quite contented with what I've achieved for myself in this race and happy to leave it at that. Whether or not it's good enough to take top spot from Sulu and the others remains to be seen but I salute everyone who's taken part in this event.
