Race Details;
The event is to be held on Saturday 3rd May 2014, with a start time of 11am SLT. The organisers will do all they can to ensure that this time is adhered to, Grid willing.
There is an entry fee of 50L, payable on the day, to the RFL Kiosk that will be in the Assembly Area near the Start. Payment to be made prior to starting the race, please.
The race will start in Caledon Kittiwickshire, here;
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Kittiwickshire/66/132/23
Participants will be given a Map of the First Stage route, a Map to each successive Stage will be obtained at the Changeover points between Stages. There will also be a few helpful Markers placed along the route.
There will be Timing Gates at the Start, the Finish, and at each Stage Changeover point, these are simply to provide interesting Statistical Data, however in the event of a tie any Gates missed will be a factor in the Stewards deliberations.
The Four Stages of the Race are as follows;
Stage One; Foot Race - this means using your own 2 (or 4, or indeed however many you have) feet. The Stewards ask that any Steampunk roller/traction boots, jet skates, etc that are worn be DECORATIVE ONLY and offer no advantage in speed.
Stage Two; Ground Vehicles - these may be of any number of wheels, or rollers, or tracks, or indeed may even be hover-type vehicles, but they must not be fliers, and we ask that they be suitably Steampunk or Vintage (not later than the 1920s). No horses, unless it is a Steam Horse, this is a race of vehicles.
Stage Three; Water Vehicles - these may travel on or under the water, by steam or sail, but they must be in contact with the water AT ALL TIMES. No flying boats, either literally or the airplanes of that type. The only exception to this is of course a bad sim crossing, but if your Water Vehicle should become airborne, you are required to return it to the water as soon as possible. If you do not have a Water Vehicle, one will be available from the dockside rezzer at the start of the Stage.
Stage Four; Aeros - Steampunks generally use LTA fliers, but HTA types are also welcome. Once again we ask that you repect the spirit of the era of the Great Race and keep any 'planes to Vintage ones (no later than the 1920s).
The first 3 contestants to cross the Finish Line will receive a Trophy commensurate to their placing, and all participants will receive a Commemorative Medallion.
In the unlikely event of a tie for any of the first 3 placings, the Stewards decison will be final, and based on many sekrit criteria, including the size of any donations made to RFL as a means to curry favour.
Spectators are Heartily Encouraged to watch the proceedings, and Embolden the Daring Racers with Cheers and Huzzahs. However they do so AT THEIR OWN RISK, NO LIABILITY WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE ORGANISERS WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DEATH OR INJURY OCCURRING TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON DURING THE RUNNING OF THE RACE.

The 'Time Essential' Airship Wreck Rally is a whimsical event for the greater good of RFL and the entertainment of Caledon. All fees go to Team Caledon RFL. All builds and judging is by volunteers, please be patient with our volunteers.
Here is the 'Time Essential' nature of our daring contest.
1. racers go off in three minute increments (Judge will supply SLURL for next Goal)
2. racers arrive Goal (must stop at marked phantom prim----above target prim)
3. each Goal Judge records arrival time (will be compared to target script clock)
4. each racer 'WRECKS' part of their airship (edit vehicle for single prims, unlink piece, and then toggle unlinked prim to PHYSICAL) ((warning! Edit blue highlight prims only, never the yellow highlight root prim, please see notecard hints!))
5. Unlinked vehicle prim falls to target prim below stopped vehicle, bounces, and is
judged for closeness to bullseye (judge notes bonus)
6. racer zooms off to next Goal (Judge will supply SLURL for next Goal)
7. repeat to end of course (planned for 9 Goals see final instructions)
8. vehicle times between judges are added
9. bonus for 'wrecked parts' is subtracted from total time
10. single bonus for most Creative WRECK (120 seconds!) at finale once all vehicles have arrived
Black Ribbons will be awarded for 'posthumous gallantry in the air' for Vehicles lost or sim crossing limbo'd
Gold Badge and Trophy Airship for First Place
Silver Badge for Second Place and Trophy Gadget
Bronze Badge for Third Place and Trophy Gadget
At the Racer's discretion, scripted 'smoke prims' will be available starting at the second or third Goal. They can be attached to your vehicle in place of the Unlinked (Wrecked) Prims to create a more dazzling display of daring. This does not affect your 'Time Essential' standing in the Rally. However, it may influence the single bonus for most creative WRECK.
You may use your own 'smoke prims' and/or include sparks, Cavorite leaks, steam and 'falling gears' if you desire.
We greatly appreciate your interest in the Team Caledon for RFL events.
Donations by Spectators make us Very Glad and we send Grandmotherly Kisses in return.

Thanks and have fun!!!
