Okay, RL surprised me last weekend, but this weekend it is a sure thing:
I'm not going to be around tomorrow.
Oh, and Miharu has the money the CDC owes you, Kat.

Announcing the results of the 97th Deneb Run!
The Racers:
Katrina Le-Feir - Union pilot, Council and Lieutenant of the Phoenix Alliance. Another top notch racer with an impressive number of wins under her belt.
Fafnir Imythirella - Itani pilot. New to the Deneb Run as well as VO, this is his first race.
Strat - Union pilot, Council of the Vipers. This is his (I believe) first race.
Nautargos - Serco pilot, Council of the SkyCommand Assault Regiment. This is not his first race, but he has not raced in a good while, and is looking to practice for the upcoming 100th Deneb Run.
Himo Amasacia - Itani pilot. Like Fafnir, he is new to the Deneb Run as well as to VO. This was his first race.
Results:
Katrina Le-Feir | 27:36 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, bare
Strat | 28:30 | Vulture MkIII, FC, bare
Nautargos | 35:45 | EC-107, FC, bare
Himo Amasacia | DNF | Centurion MkI, Heavy Powercell, neutron blaster
Fafnir Imythirella | DNF | Warthog MkI, Heavy Powercell, positron blaster
Notes:
1) Both of the new racers failed to finish, but both gave it a good try. Lakche Seisu killed Himo Amasacia in Ukari, and Fafnir was killed by the Serco strike force in Pyronis.
2) Tonight's run almost didn't happen due to a Kourier-related bug that was preventing people from logging in. a1k0n rebooted the server shortly before the race, which not only allowed the race to happen, but also removed most of the storms from the route. The only storm I saw a racer get caught in was in Jallik, and most of them were taking direct routes across the systems the entire way.
3) Two more weeks until the 100th Deneb Run!
Next week race will be in the EARLY slot.

Thanks Miharu for hosting, and racers for running a quick and tight rush.
My best lap ever!!! Still one whole minute above record, but I got a long (7500m) storm in Jallik: I was hoping they didn't start to spawn after reset, and tried to cut as many corners as possible. Could have trimmed another 30-60 secs from the lap time. Jallik is stormy beyond hope. :)
Note: my past credits with CDC/SSC/TGFT are paid fully. I have more resources to pay for Tube Race prizes now!
