Julie Anne, The NEW mascot for the vision of raider3 homepage!

See how it all started! The 1996 season is online for your viewing pleasure at the IRC Extreme Race Museum!

In the year 1996...
Two combatants on #anime! IRC EFnet, Kyousuke and Riiyachan, out of sheer boredom in the wee hours of a Sunday morning, decided to race each other to McDonalds... Now, ordinarily, this would be no big deal, but, what made it unusual was the fact that the competitors were in two different areas of the United States, and the race results were broadcast in real time over IRC...

The race series ended, prior to Anime Expo, with a winner -- Riiyachan emerged victorious, but, prior to AX, things kind of fell apart, and personal politics reared its ugly head... The event was all but forgotten, as the legend of the #anime! IRC Extreme Race To Victory faded into the mists of time....

And Now, It Begins Anew!
Witness the reunion of worthy rivals, as both sides of #anime! IRC (EFnet and irc.anime.net) collide in a contest to determine the worthy and victorious IRC network -- You will be on the edge of your seat... When Networks Collide!

The Competitors:

Kyousuke		Riiyachan

Kyousuke: "Beware of Salad Tongs and Soldering Irons! Woo woo!"

Kyousuke races from Milpitas, California - He has constructed the NEW official #anime! homepage!

Riiyachan is in Nashville, Tennessee, and races with his trusty Haruka, the mighty Plymouth Satellite!

The Object:
The #anime! IRC Extreme Breakfast race is a real-time race to McDonald's for breakfast.

Both competitors, logged onto IRC channel #anime!, have their cars warmed up and ready, and, on the mark, leave their keyboards in a mad dash for their cars, and head off for a local McD's in their respective city and state. The competitors' routes to their local McD's are similar in distance, but there are a number of obstacles (stop signs, traffic signals, railroad tracks, etc.) to even out the competition factor.

The races usually last about 8 to 10 minutes in real time... The first one to McDonald's and back, signalling their return by tapping keys on their computer keyboard, is declared the winner for the race week.

The Stakes:
An entire webpage, in this case the official #anime! homepage -- Geir Friestad, the maintainer of the original #anime! page, prior to the Great Split, has offered it up for grabs.... the winner will gain bragging rights and ownership of the #anime! channel homepage -- It's either going to EFnet, or irc.anime.net. (Watch here for the winning team and URL at the close of the season!) An enticing prize, sure to bring recognition and attention to whichever side of the IRC channel ultimately wins ownership of the page.

The Standings:
After Race 1:

Kyousuke: 1
Riiyachan: 0

The Media Crew:
Coverage of the second season of the #anime IRC Extreme Breakfast Race to Victory will be here, through the facilities of the Extreme Racing Network! Soon, you will be able to access the latest racing results and session logs via the ERN link. Be patient, for there are many technical issues to work out with a new network reporting on location...
