2) The top three racers really burned up the space lanes. Blue Streak had a near record time, while Miharu and Mick were basically neck and neck for most of the race.

3) Solra Bizna decided to drop out of the race part way through, and was not killed by pirates. He also kindly contributed 500k to Stormfury2000 for finishing the race.
