Let's return to this:

As midnight turned for the good folks in London, the racing warriors from Team IRA stood at the ready. The first strike was made by Prince Watsup Chan of the East, earning nearly 200 overtakes in the first 5 minutes of the contest. From then on until the wee hours of the morning on the East Coast of the USA, numbers came in with a manical fury. Ian B, Watsup C, and myself tore through the fields at Richmond without remorse, crashing team bots into the walls whenever necessary. There was no place for "team" on the race track.

Ian and Watsup surely must have gone nearly without sleep for the entire competition to put up numbers as high as they did. I tore through NASCAR fields while managing to watch replays of two NASCAR races on YouTube and then 3 episodes of Jessica Jones on Netflix. As the hours counted off, we began to see top level production from from Sirebel, TK, and Alex. All of them destroyed the fields throughout the day.

Mike C, taking time away from the snow covered mountains, put in a mamouth effort throughout the day that was lost because of a disturbing technical error. Stupid techincal errors. His final total is far more than what the results show.

The top 100 finish looked to be slipping away with several hours left in the contest. However, out of the fog of battle came Tancia, riding his white horse through the race fields, destroying the other contestants. Sirebel told he that he'd heard a train a coming, rolling round the bend, and that he was jumping on board to ride it into battle. Both of these gents burned through the competition faster than Donald Trump burns through bottles of Spray Tan.

At the end of the day, after a tough time at work, feminine warrior extrordinaire Jo H came running onto the field, sounding the drums of battle to keep everyone engaged. Nyuszko came onto the field after attending to all family matters, as it should be, and helped with that final push to keep the team heads above that 100th position. Newcomer Pete was indoctrinated to team business in a fairly gentle way, seeing how we can all run like madmen, but nothing too crazy happened on this one.

All in all, a good day, 27 gold was the final reward plus 5 for the small rewards yielding 32 today gold earned for the team. Pictures to come shortly.
