This is your old pal, Drongo Vik once again.

The racers are nearing the 2/3 point of the second leg of the race!

Hellracer is in the lead.
Stingray
The Grey Ghost
Dragula
Suicide Tank
Shadow Cycle
Iron Griffin is bringing up the rear.

The racers are heading towards the 8th checkpoint, “Junction Room”- a cavernous opening over 2 crystal blue, supposedly bottomless lakes!

As the riders approach the wall, red arrows point the way to get back onto the track. It is far too easy for someone to take a wrong turn here and lose their position quickly.

The first racers are over the first of the lakes and crossing the second.

The trailing racers a now crossing the first lake and it looks like something is rising from the depths to meet them!


Good Lord! Would you look at that!

A massive, tentacled beastie has burst forth from the lake and ensnared Iron Griffin!

We have lost the signals from Iron Griffin and Cheetah as they are dragged hundreds of feet below the water!

========================

The remaining half dozen racers continue 55 miles down course after a hard left past a couple of small pullover spots through an ever-widening course!

We’ve got to take a break for station identification but we will be right back!

This is Kaylee Dundee again, reporting in that I am not dead, despite that plonker Drongo Vik leaving the burning stadium without me.

I am currently travelling to the finish line in a support division hovercraft.

It’s crammed full of as much equipment and personnel as it can hold which is limiting our cruising speed.

I hope to be there before the end of the race.”

“Oi, Kaylee! Great to hear you are still with us. I was worried for a bit there. Glad you were able to grab a transport. See you at the finish line!

We are down to just 6 remaining racers as we head into the final third of this leg of the race!

The racers are approaching the 9th checkpoint, “The Devil’s Pocket”- this checkpoint is right past a very wide and deep cavern of the same name.

What's in The Devil’s Pocket, you ask?

Spiders!

Giant freakin’ cave dwelling spiders.

There are lots of webs both old and new to get caught up in.

Don't get turned around yet!

And if that’s not bad enough, you gotta watch for loose rock and crumbling stalactites.

Our intrepid racers are avoiding both webs and spiders like the pros that they are!

It looks like the straggler; Shadow Cycle has just been ensnared in a web!

A big ‘ol creepy crawly is making its way down to him and is wrapping both bike and rider in webs as strong as steel!

The remaining 5 racers speed past the web maze and streak through 60 miles of wide open space with a high ceiling allowing for increased speeds!

There is a hard left up ahead.

They all made the turn and are maneuvering around and through a surprise rockslide, watch for rolling stones!

We only have 3 checkpoints left to go!

Join us right back here after these brief adverts!”

"The New Puritans”, those zokees are the biggest buzzkills in the system.

What? The mic is hot?

Droggers! I’m going to hear about this from the network…

Hello again race fans, this is your old, VERY tolerant and in no way insensitive to the feelings of others pal, Drongo Vik coming to you live once again!

Our racers, still led by Hellracer, are careening down the tunnel towards checkpoint #10 “The None Shall Pass Turnaround”- a narrow looping path around an ancient carved rock temple.

The carved gargoyles and monstrous mystic idols seem to laugh as they point the way round, right back to where you entered.

Hellracer is in the roundabout and beginning her turn, narrowly missing the outstretched clawed hand of a gargoyle!

Dragula is up next! Some strange mystical mumbly jumbly symbols have just started glowing green on the statues!

It looks like Boogie Man is in a trance!

He is heading right for one of the statues!

He rammed into one of the glowing symbols head on!

A crazy green flash filled the cavern and both bike and rider have disappeared from our scopes!

That’s why you don’t mess with dark magic to bring your loved ones back, race fans!


The remaining racers are turned around and exiting the roundabout single file.


They are racing the 70 miles back through the wide-open space and the riders have spread out and are building up speed.

Hellracer and The Grey Ghost are fighting it out for the lead position!

Heading into our last 2 checkpoints, we have Hellracer is in the lead.
Followed closely by The Grey Ghost
Stingray is in 3rd place
And Suicide Tank is bringing up the rear.



We’ll be right back after these brief adverts!”

The Following Is An Official Statement From The RAMJet League:

“Due to complaints from “The New Puritans” regarding an offensive term used by one of our employees during a live Omni-Net broadcast, the RAMJet League would like to offer our most sincere apologies to The New Puritans and assure them and any viewers that may have heard the offending remarks that announcer Drongo Vik has been fined heavily and will face a disciplinary review after the upcoming Holiday weekend is over and our senior management return from their vacations.

Drongo Vik, hoping he still has a job come Monday, here bringing you more of the exciting RAMJet League action you crave!

The 4 remaining racers are screaming towards the 11th checkpoint, “The Devil’s Backbone”- a sweeping path that gets its name from the freakin’ enormous leviathan spine along the cavern floor.

The fossils are not the only obstacles though as very large and pointy stalagmites are spread among the bones!

Hellracer and The Grey Ghost are still duking it out for first place, despite having to weave in and out of the massive protrusions on top of the vertebrae that fill the tunnel!

Stingray is trying something different by skirting the wall, even running up and over the roof of the tunnel to avoid the bones and spikey stalagmites!

Suicide Tank is having some troubles, Capt. Spaulding’s wobbling and looking a bit sick! I think the rad-bat virus is starting to take hold!

Suicide Tank has struck one of the vertebrae!

The bike is bouncing off the protrusions, stalagmites and the walls and roof of the tunnel!

Spaulding has been thrown into the air!

He hits the cavern floor hard, narrowly avoiding impalement!

He’s up!

He’s miraculously OK!

Here comes the flaming, twisted wreck of the Suicide Tank, right on a collision course with its rider!

The holocam drones actually capture the moment where Spaulding’s eyes go wide!

The bike has hit him and there’s fire,

RAMJet and body parts everywhere!


That was the most gruesome crash that we have witnessed in years!

Three riders have crossed over 50 miles of pointy formations and now plummet into a completely dark passage!

The Grey Ghost overtook Hellracer for the lead!

Stingray is right behind them!

Time for another advert break and then it’s the final checkpoint!
