This late report just in!
Tis another dissapointing day for IPG as RBL once again takes the blue ribbon at the "Galactic Speedway GASFighter racing compititions"
Due to incmpletenes of screen shots, only two races are reportable.
For the first event RBL_Goku faced off with IPG_Pynaegan in the "Money Maker" piloting missileboats. Pyn started with a jackrabbit take off that won him a nose lead but a slight misscalculation found him running into the bouncing debris that sent him spiraling down the chute loosing all but total control by the time the ships left the junk chute both ships were neck and neck with Goku pulling ahead to take the lead.
*Pyn* "I took a lot of junk in the face at the begining and missed my turn at the crusher"
IPG must not have dallied too long in the crusher though, for even as Goku redirected his power to the engines and took the lead Pynaegan regained control of his craft and was able to stay not much less than a ships length behind Goku through the first set of rings.
The smelting room posed little threat as both ships entered the lava tunnles and began leap frogging for a lead through the twists and turns of the course.
*Pyn*"I could tell I was going to have trouble by races end for now my shields were down to 75% and Goku still had his up to 112%, my bouncing off the walls in the tunnle sure din't help matters."
In the tunnles Goku finaly achived a good lead before having entered the hammer room, and a good thing that he had for Goku apparently lost his berrings giving IPG a cance to blast past him to the exits.
Goku was able to track Pyn's departure from the hammer room, and quickly followed suit and once again leaped into a lead redirecting everything to engines having the "shield advantage".
Goku entered the finnish with Pynaegan trailing in 8 seconds behind.
RBL_Goku 3:42 0 deaths MB
IPG_Pynaegan 3:50 0 deaths MB
For the second event our pilots decided to take on the "Widowmaker"
The first half of the race went very much like the first race through the Money Maker until Goku entered the hammer room where he got nailed by one of the swinging hammers dropping his shields down to 80%. Pyn once againtook the lead here but missed a ring on the way to the half-way point and was stopped right next to a laser ring making life misserable for IPG. As IPG was in lead at the time, Pyn was taking the brunt of the laser rings as Goku was tailing just behind Pyn and not taking any dammage. When Pyn was stopped for "missed ring penalty" Goku blasted passed him into the half-way container and began his trip back through the salvage yard. Pyn had to boost laser power to generate shields and lost valuble time in doing so.
Pyn succesfuly salvaged his ship and continued persuit of the course, however upon the return trip and re-entering the smelting room, Pyn heard the tell tale buzzer of "race time comprimize" and Goku had already won the race. Pyn now had only 2 minuts to complete the course and place in the Widowmaker.
Try as he might, Pyn retraced the rings well, but bounced a bit in the crusher. Time ran out for the IPG pilot in the junk chute just a few seconds from finnishing closing IPG's race with a crushing defeat with in sight of the finnish.
RBL_Goku 8:14 0 deaths MB
IPG_Pynaegan INCOMPLETE 0 deaths MB
Well, there you have it folks! And thats the way it is in the "rough and tumble" world of GASfighter racing here at Galactic Speedways. It's always a succesful race when no-one dies on the course cause you can always comeback and hand "second" place to your beloved rival on the track!
Excelent flying Goku.
MTFBWY!
