Another week, another race. This time, we employed a 5-lap race instead of last week's 3-lap method. On top of that, a single pit stop that needs to last 10 seconds has been added to the 5-lap run. In this race, we had a practice run followed by two actual races. This time, we had Swordfish, Fireeagle [Dirk Stuck], me [of course], SHV0151, Jon Rose, and Speedbird. Jon Rose didn't come in until just before the start of the second actual race. When he did, he performed a nice fly-by in his lovely IRIS Hawk 200 Jet. That marked the start of the second actual race. The following two shots are from first actual race. The first one shows Swordfish and SHV0151 lined up in front of me with Fireeagle lined up behind me [he's out of the shot].

This is when we started the first race. This is where Fireeagle managed to get a quick lead just seconds after the start. SHV0151 is right next to me in the shot.

Results of the first actual race are as follows:

1st Place: Swordfish

2nd Place: Fireagle

3rd Place: SHV0151

4th Place: Katahu

Then came the second actual race. Here, you can see Jon Rose dropping by in his jet. He had to take off directly from the track as the nearest airport was simply too far away. I wasn't able to get any shot of the flyby, but at least we managed to get a flyby. In addition, Speedbird dropped by in his Ferrari racer [seen in the left side below]. Swordfish is in the Compaq to the left.*

This is us after the race. SHV0151 is in the yellow Benson & Hedges racer while Speedbird is in the Ferrari racer.

Results of the second actual race are as follows:

1st Place: Speedbird

2nd Place: Swordfish

3rd Place: Katahu

4th Place: SHV0151

In addition to this review, I have also put together an album to show more about how the runs went.
