[RACE][NR2003] 2015 SuperTruck Series by Caterpillar, Race #1/18: NAPA Auto Parts 250

[Flynn_Reppert]

*le bump*

Well darn it. I'm going to go Bungee Jumping with my grandma's old underwear. Bye Bye

 

[Harsk100]

Don't forget that my Toyota runs under a Team: Harsk World Motorsports.

TRD that you mention is a sponsor.

 

[Gerarghini]

Some more updates to report for like the billionth time.

-Reason why I've been inactive is because summer school and band camp have taken up my entire day (no joke, school from 8-6, and then band camp from 6-8), so I haven't had the time nor energy to get the videos done. Additionally, I've been having an English class that's quite a bit of work, so I'm getting that done in the meanwhile.
-Also @Flynn_Reppert you can sign up just state whatever manufacturer and number you want that isn't available.

The race will be uploaded tonight so stay tuned for that. Otherwise I've got work to do on schemes for BRRT's and Jahgee's series.

 

[RACECAR]

Good to hear something from you at least. Now if only I can get a certain PDN file to convert to a PSD file...

 

[swiftsmith]

I'm hoping the race is a good one.

 

[GTRacer22]

It's tonight still in California, right?

 

[Gerarghini]

It's tonight still in California, right?

Alright replace that with today. Sorry

Expect at least two videos this weekend to make up for the screw up. So the 250 and whatever race is next on the schedule (lol) will be up tomorrow and Sunday.

 

[RACECAR]

So, couple of things:

Submitted.

I figured since RACECAR is showing off trucks, I figured I'd show off my schemes for the season too. This id the final version of all of them plus the Domino's one that everyone has already seen.

Out of curiosity, did you redo your Dominos Truck with the same font style 6 as the others?

Oh, its there...Well then:

• Konica Minolta: 0
• Toyotacare: 1, 2, 5, 17
• Gamestop: 3, 6, 11, 14
• Old Spice: 13
• HP: 16
• Pizza Hut: 7, 10
• Verizon: 4, 8,
• Logitech*: 15
• Red Bull*: 12
• TBD: 9
• TBD: 18

*WIP

So, here's the one and only alternation to my schedule:

•Toyotacare: 1, 10, 7,
•Gamestop: 3, 6, 14
•Old Spice: 13
•HP: 16
•Pizza Hut: 2,5, 11, 13, 17, 18
•Verizon: 4, 8,
•Logitech*: 15
•Red Bull*: 9, 12

Got rid of the TBDs as I felt like I didn't actually need more. Also felt I needed to maximize the amount of on-track brand rivalry with one of my sponsors

Yes, I did.

 

[RACECAR]

Yes, I did.

Ok then, was just curious as only when I was looking through the thread did I notice your other trucks had a different 6 from the Dominos Truck that ran the first test race.

 

[Gerarghini]

Race'll be up in around an hour or two. Might be able to get the 250 tomorrow but here's to seeing what happens.

The one I used in the test race was the only one I could find at the time that was big enough to fit on the side, I had wanted to use the 6 that was on the original Valvoline car but I couldn't find one. I happened to find the new version by accident when I was looking for a logo.

 

[Jahgee]

Say what you want about it, but you certainly notice @Doodle's truck on track

[CSMDuty11]

Spoiler

Oh hey, my finishing position matched my truck's number!

 

[Aesthetics]

That pace lap trivia tho.

Spoiler: confuzzled

Also, why is BayneHamlin's time bolded, when Niku has a faster time? Just wondering.

 

[GTRacer22]

Spoiler: Post Race Interview

FOX Sports 1 Broadcaster: And we've caught up with @GTRacer22, who brought home the #22 Chevy in 20th place tonight. What are your thoughts?
GTRacer: Well, it's not exactly the finish we had hoped to achieve, but it is only our first ever race after all. I'd like to thank GM Performance parts, OREO, and Martini & Rossi for hopping aboard this week, it wouldn't have been possible to race without them.
FS1 Broadcaster: Thanks GT.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Leave it to Gerarghini to make pace laps actually watchable by simply using random triva he pulled out of his imaginary hat, and make it funny as heck to boot.

Also, looks like he fixed the lap time thingy, my time is the one bolded now. In his defence, our times were pretty similar...

Now, the spoiler action:

Spoiler: Goddammit, NAPA (Auto Parts)...

... I love you! That's what I love to see, that's what I how I want to race! By the by, the race was great, the three-lane-wide racing was close, fast and furious. But yes, I'm super stoked about winning the whole shebang, my Silverado was propelled by the Indy spirits of the Chaparral 2K to victory. It was totally worth it sending all those people to hospital after that incident in pitlane. 👍

Note: It actually wasn't worth it to send all those people to hospital after that incident in pitlane, I can't blow all my budgets on Happy Meals. There are only so many times when you have to buy a whole restaurant just to aid the injured... Blame it on that premature ZERO system I was using; it can show me all possible outcomes, but I guess pedestrian detection isn't one of them.

And Gerarghini? You're lucky I wasn't drinking when I watched the video, because I'd spit it out furiously after seeing that Burger King ad. I laughed, and I laughed hard. Seriously, great tidbit, I just hope that doesn't get you a copyright infrigement.👍

 

[BKGlover]

Spoiler: Post shootout

Congratulations to Niku for getting the win, and Gerarghini for the pole and getting the series rolling.

14th out of 21 isn't a grand finish, but it is a plate track, and we did compete. Even lead the first lap. We just decided to stick with the outside line and while it was fast it simply couldn't make up for the regular check-up when someone up front lost momentum.

All in all, good race and I'm ready to start racing for the title.

 

[Smurfybug]

That was some ad.

Spoiler: So um

Results?

What do you mean 'Results?'

 

[JohnBM01]

That Napa Auto 250 HW Shootout video was hilarious! LOVED it! Only knock... I don't really like that song used in the video. I remember it from "NASCAR 07." Speaking of that game, my favorite song from that one was Breaking Benjamin's "The Diary of Jane." It basically got me into Breaking Benjamin. Otherwise, I loved that video! Oh, and congratulations to the winner of that event.

 

[swiftsmith]

Spoiler: Well

Not my drivers worst finish ever. Not his best either. Hopefully he can figure it our before the first race.

I've basically been using the soundtracks from such NASCAR games, primary NASCAR for the PSP in which the song comes from

 

[RACECAR]

@Doodle
@nascarfan1400

No longer have @Doodle's, You'll need @Gerarghini to export the TGA from the car, but here are my two schemes

 

[RACECAR]

Just remembered you do :

If I'm honest though, it needs abit of work. I'll fix it myself.

 

[aarror]

@RACECAR My computer died and i lost my files, so I cant send it to you. i think i posted it somewhere in this thread though.
