Well, that's my last submission just sent. Unless it's not admissible of course. Landed upside down on Ruchbah 2 and had to flip over, and also needed two goes at the Limbo, that wasted the best part of a minute! I reckon I could improved it even more, but I'm all Buckyballed out now. But my, what a wonderful race @Fish172 has given us! An absolutely storming first race of the season! Thanks Sulu!
 
Did the Installation tunnels only to find the jump to Ruchbah obscured, so switched to the substitute system I found the other day, but that was obscured too. So I've been smashing up the Cobra instead today. One improved run, but I know I can get a better time if I do things properly. There will surely be more explosions tomorrow!

Uh, that doesn't sound good for last minute attempts at beating records!
 
Actually, the irony is that I went for it again (in Solo, of necessity) and actually avoided a couple of mishaps I'd made during the previous run! So, video in the pipeline (I figured out what happened to the last one, so it should work this time...).

Thank you to Sulu for devising such a fiendish confection of a race!

And that's all the time I have to improve my time with the Sidewinder. Four attempts, for failures to beat my adjusted time on the board. I either did a decent job on the rest of the course, but didn't get a good limbo bonus, or the limbo bonus wasn't enough to nullify the errors I'd make on the rest of the course. So my Sidey attempt stands.

I'm hoping that I'll be squeeze in a few Cobra runs later in the day, but Sundays tend to eat up any spare time I think I may have.

Fun fact of the day: When you Power Distributor malfunctions due to catastrophic heat damage, it'll scramble your pips.

And for more fun, my best Limbo attempt. Only 437 m/s, but pretty good for me. :)
