For those that couldn't make it you missed out on an awesome time!... and you'll have to keep an eye out for the next one. Smile

Considering it was a midnight event we had a great turnout of around 15 people. Most wisely chose to leave their beasties at home (hey its penrith remember?).

Whilst waiting for people to arrive we were muchly entertained by varying degrees of rice doing laps of high street as well as the obligatory V8s. Occasionally we'd see Habib and his cousins trying to keep up in mums magna... the p plates a bit askew and the stereo bass control set to distortion.

Highlight had to be the riced up ford falcon which by the size of the wings on the boot was using the street as a landing strip Laughing

Ahhh... Penrith... you gotta love that town. Smile

Anyways we headed upstairs, signed up and got kitted out.

For those that haven't been before... the idea is pretty simple... two teams (red and green) battle it out with laser guns (each with diff coloured vests)... all hits and 'deaths' are scored with the results tallied at the end of the match (30min).

The First game was an 'every man for himself' so that we could all get the hang of it... after that the real fun began.

Teams were a bit uneven to start but leveled out by game two and some serious strategies came in to play... um... trying not to shoot your own teammates was the biggie.

When the star wars music came on we i noticed a few luke skywalkers came out of the woodwork... there are always some.

Between each game was a restbreak so that we could catch our breath (it was getting very hot and sweaty). The dodgy kebab store across the street was open and provided some much needed sustenance.

Half the group wussed out by around 3am and slinked off home whilst the rest of us stayed on to 530am.
(Mos, Joe, Rod, Greer, Kirsty, Danny, Grant were the stayers and deserve a mention.... hmmm celicas again).

The games became a real challenge when we asked for all the lights and noises off. Unfortunately it was a bit too dark and every minute there was a crash as someone thudded into a wall that was just a bit too dark to see... hehehe.

In the final game we asked for some Queen and classic rock to really get the place pumped. Theres something very cool about shooting people whilst cold chisel is blasted out over the speakers.

In that game our nimble leader Rod 'Scarface' Try perhaps excited by 'Bohemian Rhapsody' somehow managed to run into a wall and headbutt his own gun. Once the blood was staunched he continued on playing... who said lasers don't hurt??

By 530am we were mostly all knackered but a few diehards wanted to keep going but were out voted.

The sun had not yet risen so in keeping with the 'midnight to dawn' theme the obligatory visit to maccas for hotcakes saw us come past the finish line and witness the rising of the sun.

I stumbled into bed around 7am having had an awesome night... can't wait until the next one!

Even feeling somewhat under the weather I had a great time,hit a few walls and other people (sorry everyone),everyone that missed it go next time or any time you get the chance.
Big effort by Yogi to make it for as long as he did and then have to drive home and work Saturday.
Great idea from Simon to go to it in the first place but unfortunatly he missed it due to illness which was a shame (get well)
Rod well .............. it was ment to be a non-contact sport and to everyone else thanks for turning up and making it a great night/morning


BTW it's the most fun you can have in the dark with your pants on

Compared to the Zone-3 in campbeltown that I've been to twice, the one in Penrif is very dodgy (cheap). Next time we're going to do it in campbeltown. I don't mind parking down there too as its in an enclosed spot.

Was fun though, even though I didn't stay long.

What a blast !

Thanks to everyone that came and made it a great night. I had a ball and whilst my vague highschool memories of Zone 3 do recall a better Gun I had a great time and no complaints. ( A sore head maybe but no complaints ! Rolling Eyes )

The first couple of Games were a bit of a learing curve with people shooting there own team mates and finding the places NOT to hide. (ie Do not take cover behind a wall with a window in it !!!! DOH )

The numbers did drop of as we progressed thru the morning and it was no surprise to see what we all expected. At the end of the morning there was nothing but Celica owners yet again Twisted Evil
(Even Mos has a Celica !)

I guess these Corolla owners had to get their Mums cars back before Sun up hehehe

Thanks for a great night and I can't wait till the next one ! Nod
