DRAG CHALLENGE#1 – ONE DAY IS NOT ENOUGH! FINAL

Author : cmunroe

We are now in the era which accounts for the presence of Cyborg Beetles! Steven Spielberg has the enviable ability to push the envelope with a herd of elephants and revealing a molecule of tomorrow’s world. But guess what? Tomorrow’s world is no longer a figment of the phenom’s imagination ! Tomorrow, for some time now, is actually today!

Evidence. In Singapore, scientists have invaded the beetles’ privacy and through the use of controlled electricity, they are able to dictate the flying capability of beetles thus allowing them to be used as drones! I type no more!

At Vernamfield on March 20th – it seems so long ago – the Cyborg Beetles did not fly out to play. Instead, ogres of speed roamed purposefully along the 1320  and created countless episodes of nail-biting, photo-finish-required racing. Scintillating, aptly describes events which raced under a majestic tropical sun which was restrained and kept pleasant by restless winds.

We had a blast, but my frustration was deepened by the rapidly departing sunshine beyond 5:30 pm. As I listened to the ill-tempered beasts expressing themselves at the tree I reflected on what was, but was also still in progress.

I was dressed in glee when my memory summoned notes from this orchestra.

THE REAL HOGG.

I could not help myself from being grateful to have witnessed the epic bout involving this Foxbat.

SWIFFY’s machine.

I was overwhelmed, but I quickly regained the composure that was lost and then it occurred to me that the most significant event for the day, went unnoticed by many, it was misunderstood by some and it was also accosted, detained and swam in rumors which were created by drowning men who were all clutching at ignorance. Clarity, if you choose to accept it arrives now!

I have colleagues who are drag racing extremists! They are at the concrete as early as the NDRC erects the ‘tree’! As such I will be informed, in a concise but accurate manner, re any issue deemed relevant to my duties. I was advised that, for whatever reasons, during the hours referred to as morning, while at Vernamfield, the M.A.D. boss saw it necessary to put the NA Wonder Machine to wrecker and return to ground zero. A rather uncanny occurrence.

I was further advised that when said machine returned to the holy concrete, time was bent beyond recognition and the breathless clock barely muttered 9 seconds. A legend was born!

I sought and spoke to the M.A.D boss. I was comfortable with his account. The rumor mill is still employed. But, we cannot deny the fact that this machine on the 20th, was poised to extract revenge, or so it seems.

KEN T’s machine

Did this machine exert undue influence and encouraged the M.A.D. boss to revisit his strategy? The truth? We will never know! What we do know is the fact that this machine

PLUS 1

PLUS 1 – that is the name given to the machine by the M.A.D. camp – is now in a league of Extraordinary Machines!

And yes, I am still of the view that ONE DAY IS NOT ENOUGH to appreciate all that a Drag Challenge event has to offer. Plan for May!
