See second question above.

Interesting and took me a while to figure out went wrong. My excel file was fine but in the conversion to image, it cropped that portion. Should be fixed now. Thanks
 
Gotta watch you like a hawk man. Parcells and Parcells2 could do it with more eyes though. Well, if he wasn't so busy staring at swim wear anyway.
 
In my fervent search to find out more about this swim wear stuff I found that many internet searches revealed sites with significantly less clothing than the bikini Walt wears. Some even have tempting offers to join an exclusive club. I guess what I’m saying is Parcells has found a new hobby!
 
I'm looking to open Deep Forest for some morning practice if anyone is interested.

I cant this morning but I do plan to run a 40 min mock race @ 9:00pm eastern if anyone is needing to get in some laps tonight.

Friends Only lobby is open. Green flag @ 9:10pm
 
Good stuff, car works well on this track, but right tires still take more of a beating than the left. And the rears lose nothing the entire stint. Magic

Didn't I say I had to stop racing early to take brownies out of the oven?
 
Tomorrow night is going to be a blast. One things to remind everyone, entering the pits is tricky especially if you have someone directly behind you as you come out of the final turn. Please be mindful if trying to cut inside of someone when they are trying to pit.
 
I'm assuming you have a rule that if we are pitting we have to stay within the pit entry lane lines. If so, you must drop down to 3rd to make it there. If you're in 4th you will run too wide and have to cut back in to make it to the pits. This can be accidentally misleading to any trailing cars.

Normally yes, all pit lane lines need to be observed however given how close these cars are on the track, dropping down to 3rd gear there and slowing enough to make the pit "Line" could cause bigger issues. I'll need to think on it and make a ruling tomorrow

Did TeamWork file anything on me.? I watched those awesome Videos from @brntguy and race 2 I was on the pole and we went into turn 1 three wide..? I didn't think he was going to try the outside and then out of nowhere I have one on the inside of me so I was the meat in that sandwich!! Anyway from what I saw It looked like the inside car slid up into me then I slid into teamwork then I am sure you can figure out the rest!! lol Anyways that was a blast of a race and just that first lap (Which I got great air time in the vid) thnx Brnt.. and first couple turns I had to do everything in my power to hold my line. we were 3 wide around those corners and somehow I made it out without taking anyone else out? lol I think I was running faster lap times towards the end of the race and I pit once..!! BUT.. I needed 1 lousy liter of Petro, which takes no longer than putting 4 fresh rubbers on the ride!! Oh well. I wouldn't have won (obviously) but when it started to spit a sputter about turn 1 last lap I was in like 8th? and yes I am happy with 8th against you rockets!! 👍... but.. epic fail... was fun to try!!

If I filed something you would know! LOL I know exactly what your talking about too, that 2nd race was a death race! I know nothing was intentional and I also know I should not be taking such a wide line especially the first minute into a 40 minute race. Once you and me become more comfortable side by side I'm sure their will be more "3 wide" races, for now I'm just going to hold onto my controller as hard as I can and hope for the best while staying out of the way of the guys with fresh tires! These 1 pit stop races you got going on GRIM really make things interesting when some people have fresh tires compared to dead tires. I LIKE IT- I LIKE IT ALOT!

Like last week Parcells expects to set up his practise race near 7:50 this evening if anyone is interested.

Good luck to all in tonight's final season 4 race and please stay out of Parcells way, he has a team competition to win here for crying out loud and my excuses are running low.

It's been such a great series with awesome and clean battles throughout; The last thing I would want to do is have to come in here tomorrow and accuse others of reckless driving that ultimately costs Team BrntToast our deserved championship but I'm getting fullly prepared to do just that, whether it's warranted or not, should things not go our way this evening ...is that wrong?
 
If anyone is bored, in about 2 hrs I'll be starting a 2 hour long endurance race. A total of 15 drives I'm looking for. All details are HERE if anyone is bored and interested. I'll post the lobby # shortly.

Pit Entry rules for tonight at Deep Forest

Normally you would need to be within the pit entry lines so as to not cross over the solid line to enter the pits. Due to the configuration of the track and the speed/handling of the cars, we will remove this requirement so as to not slow the traffic behind you too much. That said, if you go wide on that final corner and you have someone behind you, Do not try to cut across the track to get into the pits. All drivers should assume that the car in front could be pitting and to be mindful of diving inside of the car in front of you.

Lobby is open to all main event drivers
 
Another awesome season of racing Grim! Thx and thx to the other competitors in this series.
 
Dang that was some crazy awesome racing tonight. I don't think you will find a cleaner series. Especially when you factor in the number of miles we run each night and how many of those miles are spent in close proximity to other racers.

Great job to everyone. Can't wait to come back next season.
