Heh, I wouldn't be so hung up about it, except that I know about what sukerkin is running for The Numbers team...

Thanks very much for the encouragement. I'll relax a bit and give it another session. Unfortunately I've been busy this weekend and so I haven't gotten a ton of seat time in.

I know the deadline is Monday, but what time? And please give me a link about where I submit. I did sign up at GTN on Friday, but I want to make sure I don't screw up...

So sukerkin is running some fast times huh. That's ok, don't sweat it to much, as all we can ask is your best! Take it easy and relax a bit, I usually yield some of my quickest times when I've taken a quick break from the game and come back to it with a fresh outlook.

All times need to be submitted by 18:00 GMT. As I'm unsure as to where in the US you are located Duke, I can't tell you what exact time you need to have your time up.

I refer to this site www.worldtimezone.com

If you're on the East coast, you should be -5 hours from GMT.

Duke, since you don't have a replay devcie, and I don't know wether or not Alex will get your MC card in time, I would like for you to post your most current time up here in this thread. Just post it at the end of the tread so it's easier to find. That way either me or Kelly can PM the GTN admins with your time and we can then post your replay when it get's up on the web.

Just posting to make it known I will be around later and submit neon dukes time for #5 .

As for Zero!! I don't know , somehow I doubt he's gonna show

 

[Duke]

Thanks for submitting for me, Kelly (my name really is Duke BTW). I got a couple runs in yesterday/last night but unfortunately they were scattered so I never really got my rhythm going. I don't have a faster time that will pass the stewards' examination.

If there are other no-shows I'll be glad to take a crack at later rounds, but others will probably be faster (if they show up).

Thanks for having me, guys!

 

[Kelly]

I'm going to try and see if the admins will let me submit for myself instead of Zero who is awol ..
Got 1 full race done and pretty much clean 19'02.673 ( how's that compare to Sukerkin, Duke? )
best lap was 1'47.036 I pitted on laps 3 and 6

Not hopeful on them letting me take his place but it's worth a try for some points .

 

[Duke]

Well, the time he secretly leaked to me was 18':46.xxx", but he was worried that wasn't clean enough following the Round-3 fiasco. He was trying to get a cleaner run, but hadn't matched that time yet. So I'd say you're in the ballpark, definitely a good run considering you only ran it once! I only managed to get about 4 or 5 tries at it, unfortunately.

 

[boombexus]

Thanks for running with us Duke! And feel free to stick around and hang out here with us.

 

[Kelly]

Ok they are letting me submit the time I got 👍

Both times have been submitted

 

[Talentless]

I am so sorry everyone about my 2 DNF's, I have let 10 people who trusted me down, I've let my self down and I feel like **** about it. I actually did race both of these races but on Friday night I caught my dad's cold and it hit me hard. Saturday morning I was supposed to take the SAT's at a local school but my dad wouldnt let me go because he felt I was too sick. My forgetfulness about the timezone situation also account for my DNF in this race because all the while I was thinking for some ****ed up reason that 1800 GMT was 6pm EST not 6 PM GMT for my stupidity i cannot even say I'm sorry. In my mind I have done a great dis-service to this team and to everyone on it by not sending in my race times. I cant explain very much of anything and I'm so very sorry and I understand if none of you wish me to be here anymore, goodbye my friends.

Don't worry about it Matt the team is doomed and was doomed from the start. And it's not your fault, you can't help it if you get ill, I hope you're feeling better now.

You didn't get 2 DNF's for the team... I submitted your race 4 time that you had posted in the thread, don't know if that was your best or not but it went anyway and you got 12th 👍 If you had posted a time in this thread also I would have submitted that one too, luckliy they agreed to let me submit a time for this race instead so we could score. I just wished I'd have tried more the other day at this one and I would have had a better result
I'm sure you would have got a better result but my 5 points was better than nothing

Stick around Matt we still your mates

aren't we team? and we need all the support we can get right now

 

[Bollocks#999]

very well said there kelly
sink or swim as a team

 

[Der Alta]

My sentiments exactly. We've all been pushed an pulled in diferent directions while getting this together. While we may be destined to finish in last place, I'm fairly certain that there will be a next time.

As we go about the last parts of the series, let's all try to help out. Or at least start figuring out what happened to us.

Zero: I've had little interaction with you in my time here, but I'd not like to think that this little incident would drive you away.

Looking forward to the next challenge.

Duke's Memory card has arrived, and I'll have it ready for upload tomorrow morning. This will be his replay of #5.
