We can vote on ABS when we all get there.  How about that?

To make a long story short, I would like to and I will try to and I'm looking forward to it, but I can't actually commit til the last minute.  And, if I do show up, I'll suck and hit people and run out of gas and miscalculate pit stops and do all kinds of shit that would prevent a good finish.


In other words, Business as usual...... :D ;D :laugh

J/k bud.

 Ya you missed a very fun race there Chrome! Except for getting third place and being lapped by Dude and Bada. Me and waverider was have a race for third until he ran out of fuel. Great race setup there Charlie was fun.



 PS. Way to go Dude!

Congrats to Podium Finishers!!!



1rd Place  -  DudeTuna      (Level 23 card; ultra limited-edition uber secret prize; horn #112; gold chrome paint chip)
2th Place  -  badaboya      (Level 22 ticket; 00 suit/helmet set - when used together will match cars color scheme; silver chrome paint chip)

Eleven folks started and ten finished...  So only one "casualty" during the event.

Thanks to Charlie and everyone for the goos race :)

My Evo was a Hoe! It ate tires and drank fuel like one, ran out of Tunoco after my second stop for tires cause pit crew didn't get all the fuel in >:( and lost any chance of finishing on same lap with the leaders but that's racing. :'(
 
Congrats to Dude and his Kum -ho Subi,you were the class of the field today. :D great driving,nicely done. :applaus

That was exciting and stressful at the same time. I've always liked that Subi and managed to keep it damage free. I can't believe how close a race it was badaboya, even after fifty laps and untold pit stops. Great fun everyone and thank you host Charlie.


I took a look at the replay to see what happened to Ninja. It seems he had damage, went into pits where his pit crew managed to change tires and fill the tank, but somehow did not repair the damage to his car. Very strange.
