Ok Update time

So we have Kevin the stabber rolls up and taking first place and getting dammed close to that sub 20 minute barrier. Can this be beaten? We will interview him after he comes out of psychiatric rehab.
Ok in second place blasts in Aken B. with a decent time of 25.39 but after bonus well now. 5 minutes, which just goes to prove that complete abandon sometimes pays off. The doctors are on their way with a nice comfy jacket for you. Brilliant. In third, which was a surprise after his brilliant run is Alec Turner, but sadly his bonus just did not cut the mustard. In fourth comes Sir Boundness with a good time. then again added a suicidal bonus of 4 minutes.
Tobias and Inga have both entered the field well below 30 minutes now With Leeya Geddy and Tannis Phage having put in worthy runs as well.
This has pushed the others further down the field but a pleasant surprise is how much more people are willing to push that little ship.
You are all nuts!

We have Alec dropping in straight to the top and seriously eying up that sub 30 time. But Aken B has also pushed into third place their new entry in a sub 33 time. In the lower places all 6 entries are new. looking forward to seeing how this proceeds! For myself | have run a modest but fair sub 34 time but may well try again myself.

Well thats all folks for now, oh and keep any ropes away from Alec boys!

Oh nice ... so many new entries! 🥳

Here we go, classic Buckyball as I flit from one class to the other now trying to hang onto at least one podium position.

Some pretty insane limbo speeds there as well, gonna have to work on that tomorrow.

No no no no no. You've already posted a faster time than me. It's my turn to limbo faster now.

Otherwise, I'll take my 24hrs at top spot as my possible only glory this season. ;)

Well it seems the idea of preserving the sidey is now out of the window, We have a new entry from A.I.GroG with a frankly insane limbo of 711 m/s. This was enough to get him only 3rd place however. Sir boundness came back with a new entry with maximum bonus and was first commander to go under 20 minutes. Unfortunately for him however our very own Mr Turner has got past his limbo timidness to rock back into first place and getting real close to the 19 minute barrier and keeping Sir Boundness in 2nd place. Utterly ridiculous!
Further down the field we have had better times from jspace, Epaphus and Tobias Von Brandt all comfortably in top ten places.
Those limbo speeds are now getting serious.
Good racing folks!

Regulation

This will be pretty quick but very telling. We have had only one new entry in regulation from our resident flight demon Shaye Blackwood. He has thrown that Cobra round the course in an astonishing 27.25 and being a whole 3 minutes faster than anyone else while also smashing the 30 minute barrier in style as well. Nice sir, nice!
Tobias Von Brandt also nicely improved his time in the Sag Wagon to bring him to a very nice 4th place.

That`s all for now folks

Keep breaking those ships!
 
Last night I didn't have an opportunity to make a run, so I sacrificed yet another workout to do some racing. It looks like I'll be making the first Regulation submission of tomorrow's update. Good news is I've taken the day off, so I've got time for an attempt at the Sidewinder before I need to leave for an appointment.

Bad news is, I was doing fairly well, though not as well as I'd hoped, when this happened:

Those are the best... :rolleyes:

And that's a new Sidey submission from me. I've been debating whether I should double Faded Memories' fuel capacity with a spare tank, because it would add at least one extra jump to the route, or risk catastrophic internal heat damage.

Though looking at this picture, I think I can afford to turn off a few non-critical systems. ;)
