Goodbye from MrTodd Barbasz... A new dawn for the SL Marathon

SL Marathon founder and current director has decided to stand down with immediate effect.  MrTodd is proud of the many successful race meetings the series has had since its conception over 2 years ago - he is also proud that the series has been reborn following a prolonged break.  The SL Marathon has gone from strength the strength as race reviews and videos on this prove.

Despite MrTodd's departure he is keen to see the SL Marathon continue.

That said, the new co-directors of the SL Marathon will be kelis Loopen and Hagbard Hyx.  Please contact either for future race dates.

IT'S BACK

That's right the SL Marathon is back in action after an astonishing 1 and a half year absence. Now running exclusively with Racers Island the SL Marathon will aim to become bigger and better than ever before.

To start off this new process we'll be having a comeback race on Sunday September 4th at 2pm SLT.

We're also piloting a new rule at this race to give everyone a fair chance at winning and ensuring that everyone contributes. There will be a 50 Linden entry fee per race which will go into the winnings pot to be distributed to the top 6 finishers.

For more information please contact MrTodd Barbasz

WE'RE BACK!

The SL Marathon has restarted following months on inactivity.

Thank you to our previous sponsors of the last season, many of who have felt the strain of the economic crisis, and sadly had to close. We hope you will able to join us in the new season.

The 2010 Racers Island Second Life Marathon will relaunch at 2pm SLT at Racers Island, on Sunday June 27th. Contact MrTodd Barbasz if you would like to attend.

Previous season rules remain the same. Especially the descripting rule - just so you're aware.

Look forward to seeing you there!

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

GREAT RACE AT SMC

Thanks again to SMC for hosting such a great race. It was a bit of a lag fest but that made it all the more interesting - especially with the addition of a new chicane installed on the Oval track which brought the fight for the win between aRTee and Devilry down to the wire.

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

The race results were as follows:

L$ scoring positions:

1st. aRTee Nuubert
