Dacks Vauve wins Farpoint Valley's first swoop race of the season

Date: 180807
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Last night, the first swoop race of the season was held in Farpoint Valley by H'oshi QaVam. The course was an innovative course with only two 180 degree turns, challenging the racers and the two officials - Ryian Coron and Ikedo Wolf - during the three lap race.

A total of nine racers and two teams started. The race itself saw no incident, but there were claims of an attempted bribery of an official, and during prepararions for the race a swoop blew up. No violence however was reported, and no shots were fired, rendering the heavy armor worn by some racers and spectators not needed.




Dacks Vauve, veteran pilot, showed that he could not just fly a freighter, but also ride a swoop, and took the 1M grand prize. (He took it straight to the bank, folks, so the more larcenous-minded among you can bury the plans to mug him.) Second place went to Arktik Xicov of the Hutt team, third place went to Coreena Telios, former swoop race champion, recently returned to the sport, of the "Three Suns Team". The "Three Suns" team also won the team competition, winning the three racers Dyllin Junden, Coreena Telios and K'yna Mont'yr - himself a race champion as well - 500K in prize money.

All in all an exciting and sportive event, and a good opener for the race season.
