Hmm. I have to move the race time back a couple of hours due to things going on at my house. Look for the race at 7 PM EDT.

That was, by far, the most bland Deneb Run I've ever seen. No kills, no pirates, average number of racers, average times, no surprising upsets. The most exciting thing that happened was Joyce hitting a dead sector.
