*The CDC One Man blockade managed to not only take out the two leading EnB racers, but also distract the other leading EnB racer into heading to the wrong wormhole in Verasi. (Thanks to Captain 'Nice' Hardrive for the help :) )
*This race had the most deaths in any race thus far at four.
{{br}}
==== Race #13 ====
*The sister race to the Deneb Run, the now on-hiatus Corporate Sectors Run, is started at about this time.
*This was the only race in which all the racers used Valkyries of various makes. This domination by the Valkyrie would be one of the reasons for a rule creation later on.
*EnB came as close as it ever did to sweeping a Run, taking 1st and 2nd place. The 4th place EnB racer was only 2 seconds behind me, the 3rd place guy.
{{br}}
==== Race #14 ====
*The Enb Guild Competition prize is instituted. If one pilot from another guild competes, and places ahead of the top EnB racer, the get 50% added to their prize. If two or more racers from another guild, each of their pilots that beat the top EnB racer had 100% added to their prize. So, it was possible for a first place non-EnB guild racer to win FOUR MILLION CREDITS.
*Obsidian completed the Deneb Run in a Behemoth, the first to successfully do so.
*Ory'Hara shot down two other racers as he ran the Run himself, a record for kills by any racer.

==== Race #15 ====
*LeberMac begins his advertising service anew, introducing his first ad poster.
{{br}}
==== Race #16 ====
*Martin picked up his microphone once again to run this race in Screwball's absence.
*The first major impact by pirates was seen in this race, as B-8 killed 50% of the racers.
{{br}}
==== Race #17 ====
*The "No Valkyrie" Rule was temporarily implemented for this race. It was so popular however, that it stuck. This ended the era of racing dominated by the Valkyrie and ushured in the wide range of racing ships we now seen flown today.
*The most racers to ever participate in a race, a record of ten people ran in this Deneb Run (50% of them were CDC members).
{{br}}
==== Race #18 ====
*This is the first time a racer used a medium battery in a race (not as bad as the free battery idea, though).
{{br}}
==== Race #19 ====
*The only time that an even amount of racers from each nation ran in the Deneb Run.
{{br}}
==== Race #20 ====
*This race ran counter-clockwise, ie through Itani space first and back through Serco space.
*This, and the results of the CSR, were abismal. "The Bloody Weekend", only 2 of 12 racers finished these two races. The pirates came out in force and with a vengeance, intent on killing all the racers.
*I created a record by winning three consecutive Deneb Runs with this finish.
*Comical Note: an Orion Hornet outran an IDF Valkyrie from Jalilk to Sol II, eventually losing the Valk behind it.
{{br}}
==== Race #21 ====
*This race had an all-time low attendance (understandable after the previous week's race) with only two racers showing. Screwball had to fill the third spot, MCing and racing at the same time.
{{br}}
==== Race #22 ====
*I MCed for this race in Screwball's absence, the first time he had not been able to run it since Deneb Run #16.
*Five of the six racers perished in this race, a continuation of the Pirate's campaign against the racers.
{{br}}
==== Race #23 ====
*Dr. Lecter stole third place from fooz2916, pulling into the dock only one second before his competitor.
*This race had 9 participants, the highest since Deneb Run #17.
*Joyce Sanders MCed this race for me, who was supposed to MC for Screwball in his absence.
{{br}}
==== Race #24 ====
*Four out of five racers were killed in this race, the pirates renewing their anti-racer campaign.
{{br}}
==== Race #25 ====
*The "Prize for Pirates" Rule is established, though not a pirate had not claimed any... yet.
*Pirates began using a new method in their mercenary hits, the "Dealy Tactic". Their employers usually pay to see that a certain person does not win. This can be accomplished in several ways but is usually done by killing the racer (just for shits and giggles).
{{br}}
==== Race #26 ====
*The first race in a good long while since not a single racer died to a pirate (not to say that racers didn't die...)
{{br}}
==== Race #27 ====
*This race only had four racers, the lowest since Deneb Run #21
*UIT swept the winning spots in this race.
*This is the first race in which most of the racers lived, yet no one could get better than a 39 minute time.
{{br}}
==== Race #28 ====
*All the racers finished within two minutes of each other.
{{br}}
==== Race #29 ====
*Six of the seven racers were downed.
*mr_spuck earned two million credits for downing the third and second place racers before they could dock.
{{br}}
==== Race #30 ====
*This was the first race to use the earlier timeslot, designed to allow the Europeans more participation. It worked, for this race at least.
*The fastest infiniboost time after the first ship rebalancing was achieved this race (and third fastest time overall), 28:01 by Erik C.
*There were thirteen racers this race, the most thusfar.
{{br}}
==== Race #31 ====
*Four of the five racers were eliminated.
*After being disqualified for going the wrong way, Blackhole Goldclaw came back to the finish sector and mined it. He killed two of the remaining three racers, earning him two million credits. Mining a Corvus station was *later* deemed an exploit.
*Lag issues caused Calder to remain in the dock a bit too long, being taken out by BG's Lightning mines.
{{br}}
==== Race #32 ====
*Exactly three of the eight racers finished.
*75% of the racers carried one form of weapon or another.
{{br}}
==== Race #33 ====
*Only four racers showed up for this early timeslot, one of them actually European.
*The Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian did not win any spots this race for the first time almost ever.
{{br}}
==== Race #34 ====
*Only three of the eight racers finished this race (again)
*Joyce Sanders MCed in Screwball's absence.
*Mike-L begins his racing career, racing ships no one else would dare to fly. He flew a fully loaded Prometheus this time.
*mr_spuck officially starts his counter event to the race, his "Make Race Fun Squad", offering 500k per dead racer.
{{br}}
==== Race #35 ====
*This race had the most participants ever (and probably for a long time) with fifteen racers.
*Only two of the six racers finished in this early timeslot race.
{{br}}
==== Race #36 ====
*Four of the seven racers finished this race.
*There were many storms in this race.
{{br}}
==== Race #37 ====
*A new rule is introduced to deal with the station camping issue of pirates for the race. No credits were awarded for any kills in odia M-14. This does not stop the "reavers" as it was aptly put.
*All nine racers failed to finish this race, making it the deadliest race of all, tied with a few other 100% racer killed races (at least percentage-wise).
*The new timeslot starts to show that it does indeed attract more racers, but also, disproportianally, more pirates too. Are most European players pirates? That's a question for someone else.
{{br}}
==== Race #38 ====
*This race had the most participants ever (and probably for a long time) with fifteen racers.
*The first disqualification ever was issued to Baron Koob, who used a certain lua command to speed ahead at 500m/s.
*Eight of the racers were eliminated (one, as mentioned above, by disqualification).
*A TeamSpeak setup was tested out this race. It was only used for a race soundtrack for this race but there are possible plans for it's use in the future otherwise.
{{br}}
==== Race #39 ====
*Seven of the ten racers were eliminated this race.
*Is it just me or is a <50% completion factor for racers to be expected now?
*Blue Streak began hiring an anti-pirate squad, which worked quite well.
{{br}}
==== Race #40 ====
*The No Valkyrie Rule is dropped due to the second ship rebalancing to occur in the race's history.
*Six of the ten racers were eliminated one way or another.
*With the ship rebalancing, any chance of breaking Ghost's record is lost (for now).
