Good race. Much cleaner than last week

Happy · Post by **Happy** » Wed May 10, 2006 11:04 pm

Sorry for causing a bit of a pile up at the pit entrance at the first stop

I thought pit lane started at the concrete texture change

Well done to the Googles on our teamwork we stuck together for the entire race. Just a bit unlucky in a few places.

And as for my engine going pop

But the pitcrew fixed it in 2 mins
A good clean race from what I saw.

Good stuff Mattly, bout time

Rest of the race I saw some shocking driving, what is the point of freakin holding the low line so early in the race while losing time on smaller drafts infront! I mean wtf! Anyway I see justice was served.

Rest of the race spent half the time alone, then lost another 7-8 in the ding near the end.

As always bring on next week!

that was a good bit of fun =]

And Murphy if you used that brain cell of yours you would have realised my moving high all the time was a *hint* *hint* lets pass mattly and unbound and flyboy on the outside - half the time you followed but half the time you didn't so I had no idea what you were really going to do.

Bit of a crap race really for me, to many errors on my behalf.

Prom, sorry for the love tap in the tri oval, I lost it heading into the pits, lucky the wall was there to help you out and stop you spinning.

Inspector, didnt mean the hit in the pits, just thought you were going to be braking later after the demo before the race.

Well done Mattly

I'm still hunting my first win after 8 seasons, can't be too far off surely? Maybe? Maybe not...

Typhoon · Post by **Typhoon** » Wed May 10, 2006 11:20 pm

I had no sound the entire race, so working myself into 4th was a bonus until I had my 1st pitstop. I didn't know how hard to press the brake without sound, so came in slow. Next time I came in Hot and got a 30 second penalty

But finishing 10th was a welcome site

Good Race for me, and a very quite one

Yes sorry Flyboy, having got a black flag the lap before I was being cautious so I didn't get another, obviously a little too cautious as it turned out.

WD Mattly, bout time

Big Al · Post by **Big Al** » Wed May 10, 2006 11:33 pm

Well that was a shitter for both myself and the Roadrunners. starting at the back really sucks, got caught up in the first accident and there were not enough accidents in the race to catch back up. well done to carnage for the teamwork we both managed to work our way from 31/32 to 15/16.

Sorry to Baz for the tap when we slowed for the accident with about 10 to go, I didnt quite slow as much as you did.

Congrats Mattly, well deserved

I wasn't going to move up to you when the pack is behind is catching and I was going to pit in about 5 laps.

Bazz & happy

for jam up the inside every time one of you was behind me and then i do it to you with about 7 to go you almost spun me

Congrats to mattly on the win and thanks for the good drafting

Lets not go here again, any further escalation of things is possible to spill over on to the track and ruin things for more people. Please ALL involved, bury the hatchet and give some credit where due, last week Murphy was great to race with. If unnecessary incidents were caused etc, then Protest Room will do its job.

If this week, better communication or anticipation of plans was the issue, address that, escalating non-funny them vs us, is not good for the league.

Afterall, the ontrack racing is the main thing, not the post match waaaaah, do we want to emulate that other forum..

Well was great to be back racing until my system went pop when in second place.

What with this holding the low line from the start.
If this is the sign of things to come then i don't think i want to be apart of it.
bs racing if you ask me

Sasquatch · Post by **Sasquatch** » Thu May 11, 2006 8:12 am

As a Rookie obviously I didn't race in the main race last night so can't comment, BUT see Mattly won a well deserved win. Good Job

I know the Rookie League is just a warm up for some but I have to say I enjoyed a good race. I Qualified in last position (16th?) and after the green flag and about 10 laps, me and 2 others were 3 wide, with me in the middle into (i think) turn 2 when rubbing came into effect. Needless to say if i cause the accident then, sorry for my bad.

Drafted with Wide Load from last position and got back up into the top ten. After pitting dropped back to last but picked up inspector (1st position) and drafted some more and got into 12th... then pitted and came out in 12th position and picked up Mattly and followed him in for 9th position finish.

Problem is that this track doesn't penalise you for working the bottom line. I think it's the only one though so don't worry Snake you will get you r chance to redeem yourself.

I had a great race last night. Kept out of trouble and slowly worked my way up to the front. I had some great drafting with Prom and Skuzz and a couple of others for most of the race which brought us all up insight of 1st place.

Its fair to say I was getting quite excited in the last couple of laps watching the gap to mattly decintegrate, just needed another team mate or two at the end to help push me past..

I only saw one particularly poor bit of driving last night.. The ding about 10 laps to the end which took out 2nd 3rd and 4th.. But I wont complain too much about that, it gifted me 2nd place, for awhile atleast
