And it begins...


Look like the last of the participants has made an appearance. Team Billy has placed Suvius Ven into the drivers seat. 

That's right Telso, you may remember his name from the great Balloon Incident of '38. 

Oh that's right! He's the one that was creating balloons for a birthday party and someone that he owed money to decided to collect. 

Yes. Unfortunately that will probably haunt him forever.

We turn to Rory Marcus, our man in the pit, with a special Driver introduction. Rory?

Thanks Telso! I'm here with Axle Blaster of Team Blaylock. Originally from North Mississippi, he headed to Memphis to escape the cycle gangs.  

That's right Rory. The area I'm from has some pretty vicious gang activity. You either join them, fight them or get away from them. I made a few supply runs to the larger towns and got tired of looking over my back.

I understand you lived in Memphis for a while?

That's right. I saw the BLUD duals in Memphis at the old Pyramid and realized I'd have better luck with an AADA sanctioned event here in Dyersburg. Sure, death is a possibility but at least there are safety measures. I've been watching the events here and decided to try my hand.

Well we're glad you came here rather than staying in Memphis or heading to Shredder territory back in Mississippi.

Yeah, I wanted more than just trying to collect another ear.

Back to you Telso...

Okay Bidcon, looks like the gate assignments are in from the judges. Let's go over the vehicles one more time.

You got it Telso! The management and sponsors have worked out something called the Stinger but with a special option! As you know, the Stinger has twin MG's front, but these cars have been fitted with a Grade 2 Propulsion Inc. Heavy Rocket in place of the second MG. Those things have some blast!

Otherwise these are standard Subcompacts with Heavy Chassis, Heavy Suspension, a Small Power Plant and Heavy Duty tires. Pretty standard fare for an Amateur Night event. 

Looks like the Drivers are strapping in now and moving toward the gates. 

Folks, remember that the numbered squares have NO effect on this event. It's a last man standing, no holds barred fight to be the last survivor. You can be alive at the end, but if your car is not, you won't win.

The cars will be listed with their Team Name. At the North End of the arena on the West Side gate, we have on the left Billy and on the Right Gil.

At the North End on the East side we have Thierry on the left and Menoth on the Right.

At the South End on the West Side... 

That's the one labeled Gate Two isn't it Telso?

That's correct. On the left of Gate Two we have William with Martin on his Right.

And rounding out the field at Gate One is Jeff on the Left and John on the Right. Now the officials are preparing to start the event. We'll see how much speed these guys can get to before they hit the arena proper!



Okay - dropping out of character here - I want to thank John for the extra background on his Driver. Anyone else that wants to do something like this just let me know!

Reflex Rolls and Walkarounds are below. Everyone knows the layout, just not the armor assignments. The Gates for this event are numbers 1 2     3 4   on top then 5 6     7 8    on the bottom. I'm using "team" names so you don't have to remember what your Driver's name is - you can just reply on YOUR name.
