VALENTINES DAY RACE AT KJ RACINGS NEW CIRCUIT - REVIEW

Sunday was Valentines Day, so we marked this occasion with a special V Day SL Marathon. But with a special twist - couples get more.

Runners needed to pick a partner to be your running mate. Points will be allocated from 1st to 6th, like this 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3. The donation pot was run as normal, but, the couple with the highest scoring points between them (stressed, only if you pick a running mate) won L$500 each.

We were also given exclusive access to KJ Racings new sim and track, which looked fantastic, as the pictures prove.

The top six were...

1st aRTee Nuubert

2nd JokerH5 Bellic

3rd Niko Hurikan

4th Bumblebee Nakamura

5th Nella Boccara

6th Elayn Dezno

Alot of L$ were up for grabs - L$1550, which meant the winner took home an impressive L$775.

ABOUT THE SL MARATHON

The basic concept behind the SL Marathon is to create a competition in which any SL user, new or old, can compete for fun, without the need to pay out for expensive HUDs, AOs, vehicles or anything. Instead competitors do something which all avatars have, the ability to run.

Using various tracks around Second Life, competitors run against each other in order to reach the top spot, 1st place.

With Linden Dollars donated before the start of each race, the top six finishers have a great chance at winning big prizes.

The SL Marathon is simple, challenging but most importantly fun. Every new person that takes part always comes back for more.

So put on your running boots and get ready for some fun filled marathon racing.

WINNINGS:

The SL Marathon is a great way to win L$.

Before the start of each race, a donation pot is placed for runners or whoever to donate L$ to the winning pot. Of course, the more donated, the more that could be won.

Only the top 6 finishers in the race will receive a L$ prizes.

TRACKS:

RULES:

The rules are very important, and are in place to stop one avatar having an advantage over the other.

Competitors may only use the basic running funtions found by pressing Ctrl R.

No flying

No cutting the track

No jumping

No AOs

No HUDs

No weapons

ALL SCRIPTED ITEMS TO BE REMOVED - This is important and there will be scripted tests before every race.

No cheating of any kind really. The race director, MrTodd Barbasz has the power to discipline any wrong doing he sees at his discretion.

At the start of each race, competitors will line up in front of the starting line alongside each other as not to give one person an advantage over the other. There is no qualifying format for SL Marathon races.

The the start of each race, a 3 second countdown will begin, only once 'GO' appears on screen do runners set off.
