Some photos from the WHACKY MONGBAT Races held Thurs. March 11th
--------------

Racers gather at the W. Brit Racetrack (Tram) and chose their special whacky mongbat to run with.

Image

Racers listen to the simple rules given by Lubku, Sonomas' favorite orc.

Image

Racers name their Whacky Mongbats ....

Image

Let the races begin!!

Image

Racers try to keep their Whacky Mongbats with them around the track ... and it is not as easy as it looks.

Image

Looks like the racer ended up carrying the Whacky Mongbat to the end.

Image

Another round of racers and their whacky bats!

Image

Looks like the Whacky Bat has something else in mind ...

Image

More racers lined up for the win ....

Image

This one was declared the Pink vs Yellow racers .. (looked like a rainbow snowcone!) Onlookers cheered for who they wanted to win ... but the Whacky Bats once again had their own idea on how to race.

Image

The Yellow & Pink racers did not give up though .. they finally got the bats to follow them ...

Image

Another round of racers eager to go ...

Image

around the track as fast as they could ...

Image

Looks like the Whacky Bats were taking a leisurely stroll instead of running!

Image

And another round but wait ... whose bat is energizing!!!

Image

Its a dead heat ... the bats are even winged!

Image

Lubku announces the winners of first, second and third places and tells the crowd that the winner names (and the Whacky Mongbat names) will be placed in the Whacky Races book located at the Museum of Player Reward Hall (Malas) ...

Image

A stuffy mongbat was donated by Ockie to help remember the event along with the names of winners being inscribed in the race books ...
