PART 30

Within the first few minutes, I ran into him, the experienced hand immediately lurched into what sounded like a sketchy narrative of the overall state of the XC8 season.

Now, we both know...and it does go without saying that though the Drone team is up for grabs this year, they are still the team to defeat.

''Yeah, I heard that before.''

''Well, it does seem like the usual play of the top five.''


He lurched further into more...I personally believed it sounded more like a litany rather than a believeable precis of the top five teams...as at the end of the last annuals.

At the end of the last annuals, Drones were second only to Redhooks, coming up on a close third was Xonos, and then there were the Rootugs and the Arians XC8 teams.
