Ok guys, enough drama. We have a really good series going on Mondays. It's not broken, not by a long shot. If the powers that be decide a change is warranted, they will make that change. Word is finally getting out about how much fun we have. There's a lot of higher division guys that are regulars in this series that are just there to have fun racing door to door. All tracks have places where passing is not a good idea, but racing through corners side by side without touching is part of the thrill for me, especially with guys I am comfortable racing side by side with.
I really like the cars we race, I know the Eunos inside and out, It does what I want, most of the time, I have more miles on it than any other car by far. Roadster is a blast wherever it's raced, Man, that car on the Sierra track without the chicanes produced the most sphincter tightening races ever for me. Get a partner and bump draft all the way down the straight. Priceless. The Toyaburu, meh, I like to drive cars that won't ever be in my real garage. Fun racing in the pack, but if I had to give up one, this would be it.
Point is, a little tweaking to better the series is a good thing, but why replace cars that all the regulars like. And there is no one more regular than me. Wait, that didn't sound right, true though. I don't think I have missed a night since the series started and would give up the Sunday league before giving up the pack.

Now, if only we can get Deal to wait till the race is over before blabbing about how good he will be with his new wheel......... The imaginary wheel. Lol. i was fighting a battle with Penguin, again, and Deal is telling a story about how his armadillo was going in for a nail trim.........or something like that anyway. Very distracting. Great enthusiasm my friend.:cheers:

The above comments on the Pack have brought to the forefront the reason to create the series.

I was VERY frustrated with how slowly I was progressing in learning how to race door to door. So after A VERY LONG testing period we adopted the Miata and boost. It could be driven ,as Robbie noted by everyone. In contrast the Miata Touring car was a handfull for those at the tail of the train because the boost was magnified due to its increased speed, thus rendering it overly INTERESTING for new drivers to control....and guess where the new guys are....in the back with the most boost.

On Monday Night Racing we will always race the Miata ( or a better car if ever found) to allow all drivers to both learn, and just as importantly, HAVE SERIOUS FUN.

...and we will always have a faster second car to allow the faster guys to strut their stuff and to introduce more speed and reduced decision making time to our new guys.

AND....once again....a serious thank you to @racingchamp30 for being the perfect host and defacto day to day Series On Track Boss. Without you the series would have vanished in the last couple of months due to my bouncing off of numerous health speed bumps.

My pleasure @Nail-27 Monday Night Pack racing, i always enjoy hosting the series and other series in SNAIL. Without you Nail, the series wouldn't of started.
 
Heh. Sorry I'll creep back into the shadows and be less social from now on.
Social is one thing, opinionated about every little thing somebody posts is a totally different thing!
I had 5 guys show up in the room thanks to the thread. And we had a gran ol time! I miss oval racing, it's where I started in GT5 online racing. I didn't start circuit racing until snail... Well heavy circuit racing anyways!
 
Well when you post over 20 times within 2 pages and 3 double posts I say a double slow mo fresh flounder fish facial is warrented.

Edit:
Although all the fun gets sucked out of it when the person you're slapping "likes" it


ROFLMAO,,,Some people really get a kick out of abuse!This made me laugh pretty hard this morning,thanks @TomMang_68.And now a little history on the Fish
 
Ok fellas, to pull away from the drama a bit, is anyone interested in some Cat and Mouse or a bit of "dirty" racung tonight? I am jonesing for sone epic C&M battles.
 
What is Cat and Mouse?

Basically you have a few teams. Each team (no matter how many members) has one "mouse", then everybody else on the team are "cats". The goal is to get your teams mouse to the end of the race before the other teams can. Full contact. Typically the only rule is to not drive the wrong way on track.

Oh... Mice are generally small low horsepower cars whereas cats are moderately powered cars. Sometimes if there are enough people there will be one "tomcat" which has no loyalties and can mess with or aid anybody he wants in a no limit car of his choice
