Please stop
I'm not trying to make it a poor me story. I wanted to race today and I cant. I'm letting people know of the error so when they inevitably get it in the future they can figure out what to do. I understand Furi is running a club and I'm the vast minority and frankly don't matter. I understand he won't stop for me. I get that. I'm not asking him to put everything on hold, I literally just called it a night. Forgive me for explaining my situation.

I meant stop trying to join the lobby... just hadn't time to write more as the race was about to start...
 
Wow. I had a very slim chance of a top 5 when the leaders all wrecked and it's me vs orama round the last half of the lap. I drafted past him round the outside but stayed just a tiny bit too tight meaning I got a small nudge pitching me off into the outside wall. Luckily I still got 3rd though which isn't too bad for somebody who hadn't really done an oval race until today.
 
Well, multiple chances to get a good finish, had a great position on the last lap... but then 'ram a gap at all costs' syndrome kicked in behind me...

Have you ever watched a plate race in NASCAR? It's the exact same way (minus the insane lag).
 
There was... quite a bit of carelessness involved in the pack racing today. And I don't think I'm particularly wrong when I point to some guys' inexperience here.
 
Twice I was sent to the back in the last 15 laps because of a certain red car lagging... Not his fault, but I think something needs to be done honestly. I'm basically last in points now because of it

Of course, but at least people kind of back off a little and actually position their car correctly rather than going full throttle into the rear quarter with a quarter of a car's width gap.

Spurgy said to swap positions post race.



Will update 👍

In light of people missing rounds and Daytona, anyone want a dropped score? So best 5 weeks count?
My like was for the second half of the post.
 
About my banterous apron pass; I got loose for some reason and just kept it straight, and behind me there was... much lag. I got pinged up to 195-ish, and had nowhere to go other than the apron.

When I tried to back it down, there was a lag mess behind so I tried to pick it up again, so I could drop to the apron properly.

I caught your rear, and it shot you down below the apron.

The major events of the final lap.

I made a lucky choice on taking the high line with @raceorama123432 and @Ninners before the big one. Both of them made it though but I got hit by the spinning @hsv. Somehow missed most of the carnage to be in 3rd. Then Nin chopped down on Orama in 3 and 4 and wrecked, gifting me 2nd.

2 points behind Furi for the points lead....son of a 🤬. :crazy:
