Drongo Vik: “Nearly half way through this brutal race and riders are beginning to take pit stops. Most of the leading pack is in the pits giving the trailing middle riders a chance to make up some time, but at what cost to their machines?”

"In-ndeed welcome-m-m-e to the-the machin-ne"

Standings: PLEASE STAND BY***beepboopboopbeepboop***

Lap 300:

Deep into the race now, riders are refueled, repaired, and looking for the win!

DRONGO VIK : Here the "teams" really have an advantage. Team SUPERBEAST has become the leading pack as the #2 and #3 bikes keep the rest of the field off the leader.

Team RED SHADOWS is steadily moving up in the standings, methodically and with precision, still keeping EDGE on the JACKKNIFE in check!

MAX HEADROOM : "R-real ex-x-xcitement building now!" 

DRONGO VIK : “There is a pile up in the cork screw. Several riders are off their ramjets! The narrow ledge is all that keeps them from a free fall to the arena floor!”

!! SHADOW CYCLE LOOKS TO HAVE INTENTIONALLY TAKEN OUT FIRST CLASS !! THE TWINS ARE OFF THE BIKE !!

!! SHOWSTOPPACHOPPA HAS COLLIDED WITH SAS HORNET !! BOTH HAVE BEEN THROWN FROM THEIR BIKES !!

!! OH MY STARS AND GARTERS, SAS QUARREL HAS JUST BEEN KNOCKED OFF THE LEDGE BY THE BLACK NOVA !!

With a brightening blue glow in his eyes, ION PULSE ON THE BLACK NOVA HAS MOVED BACK INTO THE LEAD!

wait ...

The Twins are back up! FIRST CLASS IS BACK IN THE RACE !!

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHICK MAGNET HAS GOTTEN BACK ON HIS BIKE -- HE'S STILL IN THIS THING !!

Lap 451:

DRONGO VIK : "There has been a small explosion in the pits. Several ramjets are diverted away as they try to enter and there are only a few left inside.

Murmurs throughout the crowd seem to be saying that the explosion was not an accident.

We can see from up here that several damaged security bots have been removed.

Our racers coast under a caution yellow flag.

Please stand by.”
