Scenes From The Relay

There have been a lot of events this Relay season. Far too many for me to see. So I just drop by a few. Last week, I went to some, taking a few pictures. This included a music tribute, an obstacle course, and more.

See the pictures in Events.

Posted by RacerX Gullwing, The video of the Giant Snail Races on February 20, 2016. The theme was Disney. They've recently started using seats that move about at times, as well as putting subtitles in their videos.

"President's Day" Snail Race

Some things that go on in the Grid are quite literally "only in Second Life." Among them are the Giant Snail Races, run by Racer X Gullwing every week. These whimsical events consist of huge snail avatars navigating an obstacle course that consists of bouncing on mushrooms, avoiding a giant frying pan, catapulted by springs, bouncing on balloons over a shark tank, etc.

Each event has a different theme, and on Saturday Feb 16, the race's theme was "President's Day," with the track and snail shells dressed up in red, white, and blue. One snail also sported a large copy of Abe Lincoln's stovepipe hat.

Four races took place that day. The first was won by Kirkland Coba. The second by Tindallia Soothsayer. The third by Oodlemi Noodle

The races take place every Saturday at 11 AM at Devon Dream (150, 102, 777), although you may want to arrive a little early for everything to load. You can also see past races on the Treet.tv archives at: http://treet.tv/shows/snailraces.
