Race rules as per the KSR Race Rule Thread - viewtopic.php?f=49&t=18354( Please make sure you have read these as ignorance is no excuse )

Crossing The Finish Line

When crossing the finish line, crashing your car is not acceptable under any circumstances and will not be tolerated.
Driver's are still racing and racing for position, crashing can cause frame hits for people and it is unfair to disrupt their racing. Pull over off the track and Esc.. or drive back to the pits.. its just common courtesy.
Breaking this rule will result in points loss or removal from the league.

Please hold off post race chat on TS untill the last car has crossed the line, it can be very distracting.

Very tricky track :I

It's going to take some practice to even stay on the black stuff.

And yet again, I've failed to get the committee to change its meeting night - have fun all!

Thanks for the racing last night, it's always good to watch the faster guns. And a special thanks to Mike, I'm not sure what happened to you in the first race but I spent the last 3-4 laps petrified that I was going to make a mistake and you'd come flying past, and also excited that I might not be the last one across the line.

It looks like lots of practice paid off, I could actually drive much more consistently once I got the tires warmed up. Who would have thought putting the time in was worthwhile. :-)

I have to say I ended up really enjoying this track, and not just because my wife has a funny Irish accent :-)

Practice helped me too Arctic. Actually managing to put in top-notch lap times, even if it wasn't consistent, was quite thrilling. It still looks like a very very long tunnel, but it's starting to feel like there *might* be some light at the end of it. Some day.

Over-stated. I'll settle for "competitive".
