Stage A Log - Derpy

OK, so as I’m sure every pony knows the starting point was at the Stalliongrad arms at midday with the start time being midday. This is very important to me and so I purposefully set an alarm for a few hours before so that I could be there earlier. However, much to my horror, Instead of setting the alarm on an alarm clock, I had set something up on a clock alarm. So anyway I was late but apart from that the run to Trottingham was pretty uneventful. There was an idiot that decided to change lanes in the entrance to the tunnel in which he managed to side swipe me. A few walls also has some nice additions to it which are mysteriously white and derpy mail colours. Looking forward to starting the next stage, hopefully on time this time.

Introduction and Stage A Log - Lyra Heartstrings

Hi guys, Lyra here. If you don't know who I am, I am the minty green one. Anyway, I should really get to the point in this where I tell you abirtsef... dfoidhf... about myself. Sorry, these hooves are just not hands (Oh Celestia I want hands) and sometimes I hit the wrong keys. So yeah, I am Lyra, I live in Ponyville with Bon-Bon. And yes, we are. I have had previous experiences with a car, it was a DeLorean. It was all shiny and time machine and it helped me with some stuff to do with time and cake. I didn't like it, it was pretty slow and it talked to me. But that's another story, seriously, it is another story, read it sometime.

Stage A Log - Vinyl Scratch

So I got about six hours sleep, not a great amount considering the long haul from the start to the next overnight stop. I'd spent the short time I was asleep on one of the back seats of the GT-R, which was still in the dealership's back room. I decided it was best  to head for the race's start point, The Stalliongrad Arms. It was a pub, so I was hoping they served breakfast (I'd never really been to a pub previously.) The pub was about ten minutes from the dealership, and when I arrived three of the other competitors' cars were parked outside. I parked in between a blue Viper ACR and an orangey coloured Saleen, I think it was one of those S5S Raptor things. There was a black XJ220, too, so the competition looked tough.

Stage A Log - Fluttershy

Oh, so the the night we all arrived in Stalliongrad I was nervous not knowing what to expect... Turns out this race isn't like what I thought it would be. No, we're racing in cars; something in which I have experience in almost as much as sewing! Well knowing this I went out and bought a car suitable for just about anything we should encounter; A 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 9 MR. I bought it used for 20,000 bits. Yes, it was high but it had been bought and not used and brought back to the dealership, so I took it back to my cottage where me and Angel worked on it to get it ready in time so after I... Sorry, we finished it was ready to go. I could see it on everyponys face anticipation. Who would win? Who would manage to... um... crash?

Stage A Log "Transcendence" - Blackest Skyline

Well, the journey has finally begun; Stalliongrad to Ponyville in the shortest time possible. It seems that general spirits amounst the group of competitors are high. We spent the first night relaxing, preparing for the voyage ahead. The starting point was the Stalliongrad Arms - a quaint little village pub, styled in a nostalgic manner like a gentlecolt's club. The other competitors seemed to blend well together; they chatted jovially and drank down many glasses of non-alcoholic beer; non-alcoholic because they didn't want to get hungover the next morning and risk binning their cars on the first stage.

Introduction - Derpy

Ok, so this is my introduction which means that I should probably write something about myself. My name is Derpy Hooves and for obvious reasons I love MUFFINS! I mean who doesn’t? Anyway back to this running of the leaves which is silly because leaves can’t run, and ponies call me derpy. I’m doing this so that I can prove that I am not the slowest driver out there, just adequately mediocre which is why I have chosen my Gallardo from the fleet of mail transports that sends your mail in all directions because one of them is bound to be the right one. It’s also so I can taste some great muffins from around Equestria because you can never have too many MUFFINS!  

Stage A Log - DJ Sonar

Ok, so the introduction wasn't the greatest of intros, but there were a few issues at the time:

1. The Car wasn't fully race ready and tested
2. I did it about an hour before my gig at a nightclub

As you know, I am DJ Sonar - DJ to the masses. I mainly DJ at the nightclub "Luna's Eclipse" in Canterlot - Which is owned by the great Princess Luna. Not many ponies know that I actually helped to set up and design the club itself. We have great parties there. Anyway, back to the important stuff...

Introduction - DJ Sonar

Hello Everypony, my Name's Sonar, but you may know me better by my stage name, DJ Sonar. As you can tell, I am a house DJ for a nightclub in Canterlot, where I live, but I was born in good ol' Trottingham. Recently, I've taken a break from DJing to pursue one of my other passions - Racing. I bought myself a Lotus Elise 111S, and gave it a lot of upgrades. It creates 451 Horsepower, and will do 0-60 in around 3.7 seconds. It's gonna be quick! I haven't just entered for the race, y'know - I've also done it for the socialising, and for the fantastic views along the way, which I have a love for.

Introduction - Shadow

Well, my name's Shadow and I've decided to enter this Running of the Leaves competition. I guess I should probably say somethin' bout myself here; well I grew up around cars and racing my entire life and it's really all I have ever been interested in.  When I heard about this competition I knew I had to enter.

Introduction - Blackest Skyline

My name is Blackest Skyline, and I am a unicorn residing in Canterlot in the country of Equestria. I should start with appearances; my body colour is all black, and so is my long and shaggy mane and tail - except for one small detail; there is a thick blood stain running through my mane. I won't go into the story about how it appeared - that's for another time - but I have tried to wash it out... in vain. Nonetheless, it looked pretty awesome, judging by the reactions I got from passerbys, so I decided to keep it.
