When I set this race up, I wanted to have a race that made the field as even as possible. I picked the Sidewinder because it is cheap and can be really good fun to fly when engineered a little. There was no disappointment from you all at all. In fact, you came, you saw and you smashed stuff up.
The most amusing aspect for me was the Limbo bonus. It started with everyone being really gentle and steady and by the end it was full boost and to hell with the consequences. I loved it, I really did.
Now let`s get down to some details.

This was the most tightly contested board at the top, it really was! First and second were like a pair of yoyo`s.
The results ended up with the top 3 less than 30 seconds apart. We have also heard that the cleanup at Dav`s may take several weeks due to a large number of broken Sidewinders and bits lying around. Guess that’s my fault!
Alec Turner took first place after having to respond to Sir Boundness several times during this race. Sir Boundness took first place after having to respond to Alec Turner several times. (Do you see a pattern?) Eventually our Mr Turner pulled a truly tremendous sub 18 to take it though. In a last gasp late run we also had Caelum Incola pull a very nice time to take third and nearly upsetting the apple cart too. Nicely done sir!
So 1st Alec Turner Mr Brightsidey
2nd Sir Boundness This Side
up!
3rd Caelum Incola Piccolo
But seriously well done all in making a fine race of it, and you all score championship points too.
Regulation
In regulation our humble Cobra did us proud again. It is not that it is the best ship, it is the fact that our standard build ship just smiles and gets on with it.
In first came our resident race demon Shaye Blackwood with a time that frankly butchered the rest of us. Seriously impressive!
Alec Turner has held second most of the week with a truly excellent time, but in a late turn of events our very own Ozric matched Alec to also take second in a tie. Nice sir, nice!
So 1st Shaye Blackwood Rebel Rose
2nd Ozric Raid n Run
2nd Alec Turner Ask Again Later
The rest of you took to the Cobra and most managed to wrestle better times over the week as well. The 30 - 32 minute section is pretty damned full.
Finally, I would like to thank you all for supporting this race as it would be pointless without you. I would also like to say a big thanks to Commander Bruski who is not only the race manager for the 888 championships but has also created a fully working auto score board which has been tallying up and creating the results you have been seeing every day.
Hope to see you at the next race – Ring Tossers by MrIndigo in May

Not much, but I'll take anything I can get.
