*The X Man*

The current Mayor of Morgan opens the doors to the Inn. A chilling gust blows some snow inside before she is able to close the door behind her. She pulls back her hood, unwraps scarf from around her neck and wipes the frost from her goggles, she then walks toward the bulletin board next to the fireplace. From inside her trench coat, she pulls out a long piece of paper and tacks it up. "Let's see who has a pair and enters this one", a slight chuckle escapes as she turns and sits at the end of the bar... waiting...

DEATHRACE!

A 3 lap death race on the Morgan figure 8 track.

Player buys and builds a chevalier chassis with engines and weapons (20 bulk max per weapon) only available in the mechanics shop. You may armor it any way you see fit and use whichever engine you want.

2 ganger limit (new hires preferred) or existing gangers with no skills above 40. No Psionics allowed. Ped weapons, no restrictions.

For players who are not premium and cannot travel to Morgan, you may build your vehicle in SS and transportation will be made available to you.

Top 3 Prizes are as follows
1st A Modded Squad Car
2nd A Modded Laser
3rd A Modded 5LV12

BUT WAIT! IT GETS EVEN BETTER!!
A little twist in this years Slay Ride...  A PARTNER!!
Yes, this will be a 2 player team event as well. But the fun part is...
You won't know who your partner is until the start of the race!
Hows that for a Secret Santa!!

Santa Claws, the enigmatic bear-mutant with massive talons, shambles into the inn:

"Right! Here's some more details" he growls:

The deathrace will be on Morgan Figure 8 track, on Sunday 29th at 23:00 Server Time. You'll find it in the Events Diary. Password is 'chevalier'

The top three prizes will all be built in my secret mountain workshop.. the elves there are better than any mechanic known in Evan:

1st A Modded Squad Car.. with 115% chassis
2nd A Modded Laser.. with 115% accuracy
3rd A Modded 5LV12.. with 115% power

My friends in the Salthill Sluggers have a squad in Somerset called "Morgan Bound" (password 1234). Anyone who needs a ride to Morgan should join that. At about 22:00 on Sunday (an hour before the race) I'll hook my giant polar bears up to this squad and have them race through the sky to Morgan in no time at all.

If you're bringing a Chevalier from a different town, be aware of the hardware restrictions, based on what's available in Morgan:
- engine must be 1L, 1.6L, 2L, 2.5L, or 32.L
- weapons can only be MG, GG
- tyres must be standard or offroad

If anyone has characters in towns other than SS that they want to use, please post them here and I'll see what I can do.

As newly hired Merry Men gunner Burl Ives walks into the Inn, he comments to his driver "The Boss said that back in the day, during one of these huge national events, the Merry Men made a huge splash along with a few other gangs."

Lynda Burke and Sandi Hohl walk into the morgan inn brushing snow and ash of theirs clothes. "Was an awesome race people of evan, and that fat Samta guy wasn't so bad either. just watch out for us we will back back next year". They raise a chrome covered mug to all and buy the racers a round of drinks. "O and when ya see those blue and reds flashing in your rear view you will know whos coming". with a wink and smile the femme fatals walk from the bar and start tryin to figure a way outta this iceburg of a town and back to summerset.

'It was insane. I was lucky to get 3rd considering the number of explosions, flips, and grudge matches playing out around me. Lots of fun, y'all. '-Carl Mincey, when interviewed by the Darkwind Gazette
