Our second venture to a vassal of Haense tok us all the way into the Aestmarch, to Koppány, where the House of Korvacz resides. There, around the Saintswood, did our snails engage in one of the most dramatic snail races of the season. Nine snails would start the race, but only three would finish.

 

Dima Kovachev announced that herself and Shelly Duval would not be present for the race, excusing themselves for reasons of “saving the world”, the HFSR will investigate the truth of these claims, to see whether the decision to not attend the race was rooted in illegal match-fixing activities.

 

A returning Prince Aleksandr and S’Nail var Slimaki put in an excellent qualifying performance, taking pole position. Prince Joren and Exalted Slugismund took second. They were followed by last time’s race winner, Anaksandr Amador and Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff, in third. 

 

Off the line, it was Exalted Slugismund who took the lead, but either the circuit of the Saintswood were too difficult for them, or the snail had too slimed much too slippery before the beginning of the race, for they immediately slammed into the barriers with some force.

 

This caused an early safety snail, where all snails bunched up behind it, essentially allowing them a second chance at a race start. However, many were in the pits, and were released disjointedly. Only Tomasz Karoswald and Snail Slowuel Slimegio, as well as debutant Olyena Ivanovich and Parrot, were out of the pits, before a new incident.

 

It was a disaster in the pits. The pitstop crew of S’Nail var Slimaki had recently been fired, so Prince Aleksandr was forced to tend to it himself. This caused the snail too be slimed to a much higher degree than was needed, and they plunged straight into their SR Galaharing teammate, Princess Milena and Snailvan VIII. A stray piece of shell was launched onto the track, and took out Princess Nadya and Elizaveta Cargot (III).

 

A truly royal flush, as every participating member of the House of Barbanov-Bihar had been eliminated within minutes of the race starting, only the five remaining snails of Snail Slowuel Slimegio, Parrot, Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff, Robert Ludovar and Turboculosis (IV), as well as Mikhaila Colborn and Carlos Snailz.

 

It was on and off for the race lead, which switched hands between Snail Slowuel Slimegio, Parrot, Turboculosis (IV) and Carlos Snailz, while Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff lurked some ways behind the rest of them.

 

The race was not yet done with its incidents, for Turboculosis (IV) came into some trouble while on the long straight of the circuit, spinning out and hitting the barriers. This caused another long safety snail, much to the dismay of Snail Slowuel Slimegio, who had begun to pull away from the rest of the pack.

 

With the safety snail blocking Snail Slowuel Slimegio from taking their first win this season, the snails behind began their attempts to catch up. Though only Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff managed to get leveled with Snail Slowuel Slimegio. Parrot crashed out during the safety car, and Carlos Snailz were some way back.

 

Off the safety snail restart, Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff would take the win from Snail Slowuel Slimegio, overtaking superbly and winning their second consecutive race. Snail Slowuel Slimegio would take home second, though not unthreatened by Carlos Snailz, who took third.

 

The championship is beginning to narrow down, and now only the top four snails stand a chance of taking home the 559 Haeseni Snailula One Championship at the end of the season.

 

The fans awarded Snail Slowuel Slimegio with the Snail of the Day Award, to make them feel better.
