Sorry to hear about your back Ph1sh. I too know what it's like to have that S shaped spine after picking up heavy hits playing rugby. One Christmas I ended up with a bendy back after an energetic game of Monopoly!
Get well soon

Got some pictures from Friday Flex series. Race two pics are not here because I disconnected during the race. Race 1 & 3 pics are here though. Enjoy.
Race one
Race One Start
Hmmm, I wonder who these two could be. Top Gear?
Oh no, flying to the grass.
Problems happening for these two hard racers as they try to regain position on the track.
Hehe, two wheel racing.
I see ten. Fly by in the air.
Two wide heading for turn six.
Tight battle between two fellow Turtles.
Some pit action going on.
This ain't going to be pretty.
Race three
Race Three Start
These things are obivously harder to control from the looks.
View of the chicane as Bow's conquer them.
Three car battle for first place.
Nice view of turn three.
Wall of smoke or Drifting King?
P.S. I haven't had much sleep lately. Plus, I'm in a rush, so please excuse the fact that I couldn't get much. Thank you.

As it is Valentine's Day, I'm married, and the thought of going for an entire year without sex frankly frightens me to my core, I must bow out tonight and admit that I have all the right angles

Round 1
Track: Grand Valley Speedway / Reverse

Damage: Light

The First Turn Rule - It is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1 and not try to improve it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. 4) If you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn.
Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to effectively avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers who are being careful and doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. You can not win the race on the 1st turn or even the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in incidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass on the low side. The trailing driver must also have gained at least a half a car length lead before braking begins so the leading driver can see his position and avoid contact.
Mics During Racing
From the beginning of the race, until the last driver crosses the finish line, your mic should be on mute. This allows all racers to concentrate on their driving to the fullest. You may unmute to tell a driver your track position if racing in close proximity. If a racer is on mic by mistake, please feel free to say "Mic Check" to remind all racers to check.
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Gentleman Rule
In 2 Situations the Gentleman Rule Can apply, first off, when racing with a group of racers around you, and hitting someone off track, you are at fault, you must give their position back and wait up for them, even if it requires losing positions. Second off, When going off track, and cars are around you, the on track cars have the right of way, and when it's the correct time, please cautiously return to track when it's safe too, even if it requires to brake or let off the gas pedal to allow on track racers past you. Failing to follow the Gentleman Rule, and getting a race complaint against you will lead to Stewards Penalizing you for not following the rule. The Basic Saying is, when you make a mistake, you are at fault and be a Gentleman about it. We do not want to be saying to everyone week by week that you cant go off track or push someone off track. We all make mistakes on track sometimes weather hitting someone off track, or going off track, but when happening, be a Gentleman about it. To Apply The Gentleman rule towards yourself, another gentleman way to penalized yourself simply by letting off the gas pedal for roughly 3-5 Seconds. This way no ground is gained. Please Know that Turtle Racing League Does NOT take penalty's very serious, we are all here to have a blast racing together. For the most part the first couple of times we will talk to you about what happened and make sure it does Not happen again. We all make mistakes off and on track, and we want to turn your mistakes into successful Racing by knowing not to do that again.

Great racing by everyone in FLEX. Those Aston's were a pain in Monaco. Those who had made it to the third round surely were tired. A couple people fell asleep in the process. I should have pics by Monday for FLEX because I have Monday off. Yay!

Despite the low turnout, great racing last night. I personally found Monaco to be especially fun, though others may disagree. I had a good race with Phish at Grand Valley for 2nd, where he prevailed. Nice job by Jared for running away with the race. 👍 Congrats to anyone who finished at Monaco. And I don't know how you did it, Racing, but awesome job of running the full race on those tires and taking home the win at Trial Mountain. 👍 I thought for sure your tires would wear out before the end and I would catch back up and pass you for the win. But alas I couldn't quite reach you in time. One more lap maybe. Also, if you saved the replay at Trial Mountain, cue the Benny Hill music and watch the beginning where three of us went off course before we even made it to the tunnel.

But, all GT300 machines are 500k, and that machine is 50 HP more and four years newer. I'm worried that there's going to be a mismatch of performance.

Ok I was just wondering. Didn't want to spend money if I didn't have to. I'll just buy another car then

Well, if anyone can prove that the BRZ has similar lap times to the others, I'm sure it could be accepted. But since I haven't even bought the cars, I couldn't day for sure.

Thanks. I'm starting to get the posting down now. I was able to get this one up much quicker (though part of that was because we had a lower turnout and I didn't have to put as much information in, but I regress). Again, if it wasn't for the file you sent me to do it, I'd be totally lost.

Like Racing said, I wanted to keep the same year cars together. I don't know how much of a difference the Subi would compare to the other cars, but I wanted to keep it consistent.

Did testing in every car, and tbh, it starts with the hardest cars to drive (depending on your choice) and will actually get easier as the night goes on. Friday's going to be fun.
