Lol, ohh I don't know. I take about 25 shot and only post 10. Some of them don't make the cut. The one I got of you is my favorite of the bunch.

Great pics as always Sass. 👍
OK here is my write up of the events last night.
It was brought to my attention after the race of multiple instances of contact involving almost all of the drivers at some point or another and asked to review the race by one of those drivers. So then I watched the replay and there was a lot of contact, which I was very disappointed to see. I watched nearly the whole replay and have to post what I believe are fair conditions to what happened.
Penalties
AngryEater: Multiple instances of contact resulting in spins or crashes, multiple cases of dive-bombing, and multiple cases of cutting drivers off. As a result of this AngryEater and AA Motorsports will receive a 10 point penalty.
Bowtie: After being dive-bombed by AngryEater, retaliated and dumped AngryEater going into a corner. As a result of this Bowtie and Interstellar Motorsports will receive a 5 point penalty.
In conclusion, hard contact, dive-bombing, and cutoffs are generally not acceptable in the motorsports world, as they are not here. Going ahead in the future I plan to monitor races more closely for these situations and penalize if needed. Now on to the matter of retaliation. Retaliation will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and will most likely receive higher penalties than most other things, here is why. Retaliation is a deliberate act to wreck someone after they wronged you in some way. Just remember this, if a driver does do something stupid to you it will probably come back to bite them not you. I hope all of this is clear and everyone has a clear understanding of this. I do not want to have to do this again in the future, so please lets be smart and keep it clean. Thanks guys.

On the subject of retaliation. I'd like the start of the caution lap that I spun out to be looked at. I did drive up along side AngryEater and slam into the left side of his car. I accept any penalty issued by A.R.S and the President of the Indy Lights Events.

I accept the penalty and am glad it wasn't worse.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST. BUT HERE ARE 2 PRESS RELEASES!
Swift Autosport Powered By Honda?
Earlier today we found Swift Autosport testing in Motegi. We had the chance to sit down with Smith and ask him a few questions.
Q: Smith why did you choose to test here in Japan instead of Indy or Autumn Ring?
A: Well there's a special reason behind that.
Q: Care to share what that is?
A: My team and I are currently working on developing a partnership with Honda. We've been in talks with Honda for a few months now. Last week while we were in California we got the call that Honda was willing to be our engine supplier.
Just as he finished telling us what was going on his crew chief told him it was time for another run. So he told us we could stay and take pictures and such. We got two pictures one of Smith on track, and one of him in his new fire suit showing off the new partnership with Honda.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully we'll have more news for you soon.

Indy Lights Car Spotted In Rome
An Indy Lights Car was spotted in Rome yesterday afternoon. No one is sure who the driver of the car was.
It's being said that Rome may be seen on the Indy Lights calendar next season. We did find out one thing though. The driver and the Red Bull were sent there on an official test by the President of Competition Aceboy.
Aceboy has declined comment on who the driver of the car was. All he said was
"We will be doing some very extensive testing here in Rome in the coming weeks. We will inform you of any news that we're willing to share"
We did get a few photo's of the driver on track.

Very interesting press releases there Smith. I had heard a rumor about Honda coming aboard, but they were waiting on confirmation from a team to run their engines. Glad that is going ahead. We currently only have Mazda engines, but with Honda coming on board that should give those engine manufacturers more incentive for competition. Also I am considering bringing Street courses back, just am not 100% sure on which ones yet.
