And this bob (bitter old bear) says your just jealous of my A rating... but I didn't lose any safety ratings, just points. Which you had more than me to start with anyway. And no I haven't been online for a week...my pinched nerve was bothering me. And tonight I'll be wasted on painkillers. So I'm not going to be at my best....
As long as he reads the first post and has an idea of what we are about. He can join us but if room fills and an active driver is trying to get in then he’ll have to leave.
2nd race at COTA National was going to be my last anyway.. so I stuck it out. +15 points! Thanks guys! How's your driver scores look after the restart? SUCKERS!
Camel is awesome! A welcome addition to this group. He's a chess player on track. I figured that out in only two races last week. (Not counting the wet race because there were too many unknown variables). He's in no hurry to pass, if he's faster, he'll set you up and take it when it's clean.
Yep, that's it exactly. I think it seems worse on the new tracks, and with full rooms.
Never had a win in this league yet that I can remember. I've been leading, but pit stop has always screwed me.Well what can I say about last night, I thought the car and track were really great to drive, but unfortunately there were just too many glitches to keep it enjoyable for quite a few I'm sure.
We also really need to clean up our starts, Robbie nailed it on the head, and I quote, "It’s quite amazing to me how there is a 100% chance of an accident before the first few corners have gone by every single week. Two cars can’t fit in one spot!" We really need to stop this, we keep going on about how this night is supposed to be all about having some fun in a casual environment and keeping it as clean as possible, but it's really not happening that way for the first couple of laps. All this does is frustrate people that get affected by the aggression of others and that takes the fun factor away. I'm not pointing the finger at anyone here, just making a general observation of the overall picture week to week. As the races progress all is usually very good, with great clean racing, good respect and most knowing where they are on track overall.
I'm seriously thinking that it might be time to grow to two divisions, that way us mid pack guys can race together like this series was intended for at the beginning. Mike and I started this series because we wanted a place to race against guys of our caliber. We were in a great series before, but it grew to the point where we were lucky to finish mid pack and we spent too much time just racing alone. So by starting this, we could have someone to race against most of the time and at least have a chance of winning a race, and nobody can deny that that is always a great feeling! It was never our intention to let really fast guys in, but it is so hard to say who could join and who couldn't, especially as Mike and I have been friends with so many fast guys over the last few years now. How do you let one guy in and not another! So maybe going to two divisions, where at the beginning there might be say eight drivers, at least we will all be closer in skill level and always have someone to race against, just like it was here for the first couple of months. I will discuss this with Mike and we will decide one way or the other in the next couple of days.
Here are the results from last night. Congrats to @The__Camel, who gets this weeks title of "Mr. Awesome"
