Greetings racefans, by now you all know I am Midge Cellewan and I have organized yet another ongoing race. this one is a podrace, yes a podrace, the first of which taking place in Falleen and Sponsored by the great King Bisz. It will work very similar to Kessel Run, as in the checkpoints are small fighters and you will not ever be in the open to bounty hunters and the like, I have also recieved word from King Bisz that there will be no contracted groups or warrants issued for the race's duration in FF Space as extra safety. I am in the process of cruising the planets surface to pllan checkpoints for each city, but this general map shows the cities the checkpoints will be in starting with 7,9 at the bottom and moving clockwise. Pods only in this racem no other vehicles, and the entry fee is 275k per pod. The exact date has yet to be determined but I can seftly say sometime mid January.
