You know, I'm still pondering bringing a Velator to the track, if ever I find the time.

I've put together an idea for a fairly simple points handicap that would let different classes of ship compete with one another, perhaps in some future season. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but I think it could be made to work. Any thoughts?

A new face here, but from an old racing corp.
Just like to thank the other Assualt Frigate racers for letting a new racee win the class, as there is no way I could have achieved that with any of my own skill.
Will definately be back for more.

See you all on Saturday for another close fought Interceptor race. Hopefully my team mate will make it this time and not be watching holoreels with his mates.

I managed to catch up with Ms. Jamieson to ask her a few questions about this season:
How did you first hear about the Racing League?
Oh, it must have been back in my Academy days. Some of my colleagues were avid followers and I ended up following the season myself on the holofeeds at the canteen. I confess I fell in love with the idea of speeding through star systems; I couldn't wait to sign up! But of course I had to wait until I graduated and found a corporation that would be willing to let me have a go at my dream. Fortunately, Dragonstar was the place.
How did you come to be captain of the Dragonstar team?
Seniority *giggles* No, seriously. I was responsible for the foundation of the Racing Team within Dragonstar and so I got the title by default. After that... I suppose my team mates have been happy with my work ahead of the team because I've been elected captain twice now.
What do you do outside of racing professionally?
When I'm not dealing with the backstage issues of the Racing Team, I fulfill other duties within Dragonstar. That mostly consists of running courier for Roden Shipyards. *smiles* Roden has been known to offer special deals on their lovely Interceptors in return.
What is your favorite ship to fly?
I would have to say the Republic Fleet Firetail without a shadow of a doubt. In particular the Dragonbourne Mk2 which I flew throughout most of Season I. Sturdy for a frigate and devilishly fast, the Firetail allowed us to get Dragonstar a very secure second place despite our late entrance in the League, and made us a name in the racing circles.
What is your most memorable moment in the league to date?
Mm, it's tough to choose just one moment. *pauses to think a while* I suppose more than my first podium, the most memorable moment for me was actually the very first waypoint in Race One of Season II. We were racing in Essence and I remember the can was at a planet. As I waited for it to open I could see two dozen frigates all in the surrounding space, trying to get their first bookmark. It was exhilarating, it was beautiful, and it was a nightmare to fly in. To this day I'm not quite sure how I managed to avoid any collisions. Twenty-four pilots at a single waypoint is a sight I won't forget soon.
Who do you anticipate being your biggest adversary this season?
Despite the early-season sparring between Dragonstar and NeuroGEN, I seriously doubt Ms. Blackheart is much of a challenge, race-wise. *arches eyebrow in annoyance* In the Interceptor class I'd say the biggest adversary out there is Mr. Takashi Kurosawa. I will also keep an eye on Ms. Quintrala, although she is currently racing a class where Dragonstar hasn't entered any pilots yet.
Team Dragonstar suffered an early point setback thanks to NeuroGEN. Will your team be handling them differently in the future?
NeuroGEN upped the stakes; the current champions will have to rise to the challenge and prove their worth. Some things will change, yes. You'll forgive me if I don't reveal details.
Many couldn't help but notice the cordial relationship between your main rival to Dragonstar last season, Nakatre Read, only to find her joining the corporation shortly thereafter. Will she be making an appearance this season?
Personal matters have unfortunately kept Nakatre away from racing. I expect she will be back on the track before Season III is over, but it's out of my hands so I make no promises.

Do you have any advice for pilots wanting to race?
There's more to racing than expensive modules and raw speed, so don't let the lack of either keep you off the tracks. It is possible to get a frigate going fast on a low budget. You may not be racing to win in one of those but you can get competitive enough. Most certainly, you will gain experience and that is probably the most important asset in a racer.

Ah, cool... nice interview! Certainly, Kay, you are in a class apart
That being said, friends call me Quin or Quintrala. Long story. If you must "Miss" me, UC has me under Miss C. Delorois.

Mr. Zek was generous enough to sweeten the Individual Destroyer and Frigate season pots with an additional 10 million isk each. With the third event of the season just around the corner(this Saturday!) and still an empty scoreboard for the Destroyer class, this is a perfect opportunity for a daring pilot to score an easy victory.
I look forward to seeing everyone here this Saturday in Heimatar.

K. Jamieson.
You are discouraged by appearances, but we judge the heart. Do you not know that I love you only as much as I love the whole of mankind? No more, no less.
I speak to purify your character by the chastisement of your own transgression. You speak to wound friend and enemy alike, and it is this single folly which leaves dark blots on the otherwise clean pages of your life. Indeed, you misjudge me, for you should know in your heart that all I have, I freely give, to you or any person with need or desire.
If I willfully put my hand in the fire, it is no fault of the flames that I am burned. Likewise, where you give yourself to anger without just cause, particularly as you were peacefully and gently warned against it, the folly lies with you.
Be well, dear Kayleigh, knowing that though we shall not always be of one accord, I treasure you always, for you bring more joy than sorrow, though both strike me to the depth of my soul. Be assured that your own harsh words against me are now forgotten. |

As it is beyond her control to choose who admires her team and who does not, your implication that my actions somehow diminish the content of her character is indeed foolish. If stirring the pot be your finest talent, Lillith, then perhaps you'd make a better chef than racer; you could use your personality as a bitter seasoning to every dish.
Perhaps you should try winning for a change, rather than casting aspersions at those who you are barely fit to challenge. |

OVERVIEW
The third race of the season took place in the Heimatar region of the Minmatar Republic, an area of space notorious for for its gatecamps and Cartel thugs. Fortunately for the racers, the hazards were minimal and a majority of the race was decided by speed, accuracy, and persistence.
This was the first week that all classes were occupied with at least enough competition to ensure that no one would be guaranteed first place scores simply for docking at the finish line. The always ecccentric Kendar Zek decided to add to the evening's competition by including an additional ten million isk for the winners of the interceptor class, where a majority of the evening's racers were set to compete. Team captain and season champion Kayleigh Jamieson and her partner Scavanger took home first and second place with Takashi Kurosawa nipping at their heels. Once again, Dragonstar have proven their skill by securing an early lead in what is shaping up to be the most heated class in the League.
Returning racers Kazuo Ishiguro and DeVinces deluged into the unmarked Destroyer class, while racing newcomer Dougalar maintained her dominance in the assault frigate category, besting NeuroGEN's Darina Rea by over a minute and a half. Dominating the frigate class, University student Quintrala has consistently outclassed her competition while keeping steady with many of the interceptor racers. Despite a serious navigation issue at the last waypoint, she still managed to finish four minutes ahead of the other frigate racers. Many have speculated how long she will last before the allure of joining team Dragonstar becomes too difficult to resist.
