ENDURANCE RACE TAXES IRA PILOTS TO THE BREAKING POINT (Part One of Two)
DATELINE YOUL -- Planet VII, Moon 10: Amarr Navy Logistic Support station -- Racemistress Gyra Rho and course designer Kaleigh Doyle sprang a challenging surprise on the Interstellar Racing Association's competitors on Saturday, sending racers on an endurance course that taxed pod pilots' skills to the limit. By the time the 12-waypoint race was over, three pilots had dropped out, and one of the season's toughest challengers was forced to limp angrily home, her faction frigate trailing the winner's Rifter by almost a full 30 minutes
Though season leader Owi of Alcatraz Inc. [ALTZ] was first through the Thebeka gate coming out of Youl, not a single one of the race's eight pilots -- a record turnout -- was spared some unfortunate surprise over the two-hour course, the IRA's 11th and longest race to date. An IRA official's communications error at the first waypoint, in the 0.4 Miyeli system, left pilots stranded in the wrong belt, searching for an audit log can that was actually clear across the solar system. After a quick guidance adjustment, navigational errors continued to plague several racers, splitting the field in two early in the race, with Owi leading Iconath of Dragonstar [DS], followed closely by Iconath's teammate Kayleigh Jamieson tied with Shemar of Photoesthetics [PTO] in a dead heat for third. Elsebeth Rhiannon of Gradient [GRD] (the season's second-place corp), who had come into the race with high hopes for beating Owi at his own game, left the first waypoint in fifth position after technical difficulties -- and a pre-race disappointment when her wingman failed to show up on time.
The early legs of the race saw no real challenge to Owi's lead position, which only seemed to stretch as the stargates flashed by. The battles for trailing positions, though, were as hot as they come short of turret fire -- none of which was heard from racers' ships on Saturday. Shemar's Atron fell behind early on, and gate-bounces seemed to go in Kayleigh Jamieson's favor until she and corpie Iconath were warping wing by wing coming out of the fifth waypoint in their matching Republic Fleet Firetails. By that time, however, perhaps taking advantage of the confusion at the first waypoint, Synergy's [S.Y.N] Captain Sonic had quietly snuck up on the pack to take second place -- though he still trailed the leader by a good three minutes.
Though a scare with a pirate camp in Avair left racers relatively unscathed, the race's early casualty was young Civire pod pilot M1rth of The Older Gamers [-TOG-], who lost his Condor to belt rats before reaching even the halfway point. With no other Condors easily available in Domain, M1rth was forced to resign. The irony of his having traveled through five 0.0 systems to reach the starting line was lost on no one -- though it rang more bitterly for M1rth than for the other racers, who sent him home with their best wishes.
First-time racer Mister Uglee, whose Succubus also had trouble getting out of the first waypoint, puttered bravely through the wreckage, exclaiming confidently to all in the RacingLeague channel, "I have last place all wrapped up!" Only a few waypoints later, though, Mister Uglee's Succubus too fell to a spawn of battlecruiser belt rats, leaving him unable to retrieve even the named MWD and other mods left in his can, until a bit of creative bookmarking allowed him to warp in and collect his salvage.

ENDURANCE RACE TAXES IRA PILOTS TO THE BREAKING POINT (CON'TD) (Part Two of Two)
By this time, several ships had been taken into armor by rats and passing pirates on a course that first took pilots through eight low-sec systems in a row, then through a further 11 in a row on a later leg, and finally through a stretch of seven before a long passage through high-security space to the finish line in Sharhelund. Shemar was an unfortunate casualty not of violence but of time, forced to leave the race to attend to communiques reaching him from beyond the EVE galaxy.
Though Owi stretched his lead to eight minutes by the time he reached Sharhelund -- giving him a stunning six firsts for the season -- it was the three-way race for second place that was the story of the day. Coming into the 10th waypoint, at the boiling yellow sun of Mamenkhanar, Captain Sonic, Kayliegh Jamieson and Iconath all appeared in system local within a minute of each other, and all in Firetails. Sonic had a clear lead coming off the can to take second, but despite two unfortunate gate-bounces for Kayleigh Jamieson, the Dragonstar Sublieutenant managed to finish less than a minute out in third, with teammate Iconath pulling into Sharhelund only a minute behind her to take fourth. The mammoth 99-jump race took pilots from the heart of Domain to the doorstep of Providence, skirted the Myridian Strip in Devoid, and bounced toward Genesis, all the while avoiding the seat of Amarr power, where such diversions are often frowned upon.
Even accounting for the loss of Mister Uglee's pricey Succubus, the real tragedy of Saturday's race was the technical difficulty that seemed to dog the heels of Elsebeth Rhiannon no matter how fast she pushed her own Firetail -- which has become the frig of choice for many IRA racers. Rhiannon had started the season strong, with a win over Owi in her first race and another several races later. "I'd say it's about 50-50," she said going into Saturday's race. "Given no dirty tricks from the opponents, it's all in luck and navigation details."
But luck was not with her in Domain. After compounding the miscommunication at the first waypoint with a mistaken warp, she remained a contender through at least the fifth waypoint, having come into the race determined to give Owi a run for his money. But a botched transfer of the bookmark at waypoint #6 in Hisoufad left her temporarily without a destination, and the audit log container managed to elude her long enough to put her irretrievably behind. Adding to her troubles was a painful CTD late in the race. Testament to her unbreakable competitive spirit, though, was the fact that she completed the entire course, gaining an additional three points for Gradient and keeping the corp securely in second place for the season.
The winner's purse added 2.6 million ISK to Owi's wallet after accounting for entry fees. The ALTZ Drug Baron, who has been piloting his pod for 2-1/2 years now, puts his success down to lessons learned in Alliance space. "I live/lived a lot in 0.0," Owi said from his victory orbit of the Sarum Family Assembly Plant in Sharhelund. "You need to be fast to have a chance there." Making things easy on a ship's Neocon system by removing unneccesary objects from his overview also speeds his way, Owi said. The 5.0 sec status pilot flies on the stick as much as possible. "Manual, fast, quick, and professional is the ticket for the win," he says.

On a personal note: Thanks to Gyra, Kaleigh, and all Saturday's racers for giving me the chance to witness such an awesome spectacle. Nothing like a little healthy competition to liven things up now and then. I also got what I think are some nice screenies, which I'll post here when I get the chance. And congrats to Owi, though it was definitely a great run for all and a hard fought race. I look forward to more.

Aah, back from one-week vacation, and right away a region announcement. Hooray! I need my racing fix!
Actually I had to leave so quickly after last race that I never got the chance to comment on it. I was *so* tired after that marathon in Domain! Fabulous race; I won't forget it that soon Cool race report too! And Captain Sonic: next time I *will* catch you, grrr
Heartfelt thanks to all who put effort into it. My respect for race organisers has gone up tenfold ever since I tried organising an in-corp race for Dragonstar...

The Bleak Lands, a region mired in conflict between Blood Raiders and Amarr paramilitaries saw the seasons 12th race as the Older Gamers brought some challenge to team Dragonstar. Iconath secured a dominant but reserved lead early on and never looked back as his partner Kayliegh Jamieson tried to shake off the persistent newcomer Vindico Phoenix. Despite repeated assault from Blood Raider forces M1rth endured to finish in a modest fourth place.
Special thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you again at the next.

Thanks, Owi!
We do love the races, here at Dragonstar - best fun I've had in EvE by far ever since I joined - and we're very proud to have finally reached third place overall. Makes me wonder what would have happened if I'd joined the game sooner...
Now we have our eyes on Gradient's second place. First place, of course, is out of our reach. But we'll keep trying to make you, Owi, work harder and harder for your first places each race that passes

Kay.
Sorry that M1rth did not make the race. I did provide him with the isk required if he had time so it was not a matter of isk. On second thought, he might have gambled it away in the Tournament hoping to make a killing.
Probably though, he was with his corpmates assisting in the planning of the tourney for ASCN or some such over a case of Quafe Ultra.
I hope he and/or his friend can attend in the future. If not, I will seek out another racer to support in this important event.
