Well, last night was abysmal for me. I really like Brands Hatch too. Had a great starting position and felt comfortable with the car. The green flag goes down and I dont know what happened. Lap one didnt seem too bad, had @PApunk924 and @Jw_wk1010 breathing down my neck most of the lap. I just wanted to keep up with @Neutty for a lap or two, but I felt the pressure too much from behind and on lap 2 in that final corner, I drove way too deep and slid off the track. @PApunk924 was already to my inside and got by fairly easy, but @Jw_wk1010 was prolly ruining his shorts, we came nose to nose and I was sure he was gonna smack me. But, his superior driving skill coupled with my cars continuing spin, kept him from hitting me, spinning out himself or losing a position. Hats off to you sir. Sorry for my blunder there. After that it just seemed to get worse. I over used the tires trying to make-up for my mistakes which just made it worse.

After I found myself alone I seemed to calm down and just finish the race. Wasnt too happy, but there's always next time.

Great race last night anyways.

Smokey Top racing will have announcements in the coming days.
 
Results from race 13 are in.
Silver division saw @Herimopp89 take the win, with podium finishes going to @NASCARNATE91 and @BGCaligula!
In the Bronze division, @fullness drove the car to victory lane, followed by @GTR4MROD and @PApunk924!
Well done drivers....Now onto the slides. (***Note***additional posts to follow regarding championship points)

He said I got skills. Lol it was definitely a brown pants moment for sure. I chased the car pretty well all the way down the front stretch. Unfortunately I had damage from even before turn one after the first start incident I saw the blue arrow flying up again moved to the right and got the corner of the inside wall.

BREAKING NEWS:

VOODOO MOTORSPORTS FIRES CORNBREAD243!

After a dismal season and an even worse performance in the final race on schedule, Cornbread243, driver of the Famous 43 sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee Company, was fired on the spot. Team officials didn't even notify Driver 43 of the news themselves.

"Admittedly, the race didn't go as planned. We had a decent qualifying effort, but when the green flag fell, so did the car. Trappy got tappy on the first lap, we didn't think it was a big deal and thought the car was repaired, but a sway bar or some other part must have broken as the car was never the same lap to lap. No matter what we did. As always though, I stuck with it until the Checkers waved. I'd like to thank Black Rifle Coffee Company, BMW, the raceers and directors of the ARL for yet another great season."

"I was told to park the car by the hauler. I came to the press room to do our season finale brief and discuss our race, only to find there was no briefing for me. When I returned to the garage area, the truck was gone. I took some poor guys car and raced to the airport only to find the team jet already departed. I had to fly home coach! Guess it's a good thing I ain't popular like Tex."

After the race, disappointment was in plenty within Voodoo Motorsports. Tex was heard talking with teammate WaganGhost, "In a one dog race, that poor fool would come in last!" Wagan responded with the same criticism, "The moron didn't contribute a single point towards our team. Where did you find that no driving crash happy idiot?"

"He had sponsorship dollars" responded Tex. "Money talks."

Rumor has it that BMW is demanding a refund of all monies and parts given to Cornbread and his car. When asked about the strained relations, we couldn't get a response from any BMW executive.

Stay tuned for important announcements concerning Season 6 of the ARL Saturday Night Special, Cornbread243, and the famous 43.
 
No big deal I was 2 laps down tried to give you the room, sorry you listed on my account I didn't like you Losing because of me
It's cool man. If I wanted to win, I shouldn't have hit you. Just a misunderstanding, it's not always easy to state your intentions on track.
 
After a self described "better than expected" rookie ARL (partial) season id like to put myself into the free agent marketplace. I am open to all team "offers".

Note: with rumors abound, it does seem like i will be put in silver division if it matters as far as team makeup goes
Side note also - if any teams have a required substance test, they can take me off of their potential list of possible signees as i most assuredly will fail any potential team substance rules. Just trying to save everyones time and effort, thank you

Amazing and congrats to my fellow bronze boyzzz. Congrats to my teammate guido as we take bulls and arrows to its maiden team win.
 
He said I got skills. Lol it was definitely a brown pants moment for sure. I chased the car pretty well all the way down the front stretch. Unfortunately I had damage from even before turn one after the first start incident I saw the blue arrow flying up again moved to the right and got the corner of the inside wall.


Hahahah, yeah I watched you swerve a few times I was praying you'd catch it. And was relieved when you did.
