Can I nominate this car for the next season?

Regarding points, I can't stress enough to try and finish a race instead of quitting and getting a DNF. By finishing, at least a driver will score some points, versus no points as in DNF. Had @CPT_RowdyGiff finished last night, he would have scored 46 points, and placed himself on the season ending podium as second place. I'm not calling him out by any means, just pointing out the importance of trying to finish a race no matter how frustrating it may get.
Take it from me, I know. There have been plenty of times I wanted to quit a race becasue of my poor performance, but I just continued on and got my points.

Plus it's a sound strategy when you're consistent finishing spots like mine make the team wish Jimmiy Spencer were at the wheel. I have gained many points at the expense of others leaving for whatever reason. Some of those races were embarrassingly hard to stomach.

Once again. Thank you to the time wizard @Nick Cannella for everything you do. Thank you also to @TexasJDC for a wonderful season and anyone else who was involved in the creation of it. This was a very interesting season for me. From switching from the 4C to the F-type after two races. There were plenty of fast drivers this time around. I didnt figure out till late in the season withe the high tire wear that this was gonna be a speed season instead of going to the end of the fuel run. Thank you to everyone who raced. See you guys for S5!!

@Nick Cannella I'm seriously impressed with the amount of work you put into all these stats. It makes what I do look like child's play in comparison.

Nick must've ran out of Deathwish this morning because last season he went into even greater detail!

Big thanks to Nick and organizers for another fun competitive season. Everyone seems to improving from top to bottom which is great to see.

I'm happy the season is over so I can finally $h1t-can that Alfa. Now I know why hardly anyone chose it at the beginning of the season, which is really the only reason why I picked it (and I already had a sweet livery Guido made for it from the Allstars event). Absolutely no balls in that thing! Maybe it can be retired from racing and be used as a bonafide lawnmower during the offseason. Lots of grounds keeping needs to be done after last nights races at Brands :crazy:


Thanks for having me. I'll be around next season as a part time driver. Until then, keep it between the ditches and out of the cabbage!

You just don't know how bad I wanted to quit during the Tokyo race and last weekends SPA race after starting near the front in both races and running with the fastest guys in this league only to have both races completely go bad for me by the end.
You one hell of a competitor and I was so nervous going into last night's race because of you...and @GTP_Guido. Both of you made this championship a fight to the very end.

You took home the most pole positions & fastest laps in our division and that's something to be very proud about.
I look forward to racing against you again in the future.
With that being said we were still 2 seconds slower than the Silver Division guys last night so there is much work to be done still.

You know what I see in this statement.
He can take one of the worst cars in the class and still wipe the floor with everyone.. completely amazing.

Its people like you that give me the drive to keep getting better because I honestly don't know how you do it even though I watched it happen in real time.
You took the time to help me and showed me things to work on and for that I'm forever grateful.
That's why I always stayed behind you when I could and never attempted a pass so I could follow your line a learn learn learn. I was having so much fun at SPA until I pushed it to hard trying to run your pace and lost it.

I'm not taking anything away from @Herimopp89 or @Neutty or @NASCARNATE91 as they are equally as fast as well but I never got the opportunity to run with them much.
 
Congrats @SAMHAIN85 @Herimopp89 @Neutty in silver championship, @Rinsky @GTP_Guido in bronze championship. Team championship, congrats to Teams Mello Yellow and TPC Racing on finishing in the podium. I wish to thank my teammates @Whitey093 @Rinsky for helping us bring home the championship!
Several folks in the league (silver AND bronze) helped me get faster throughout the season. Thank you! I hope one day I can pay it forward.

@Infineon you have improved so much over the last year to the point I have to look over my shoulder because your right there now.
I have watched you go from getting lapped 5 times in a race and now your the one lapping people. ARL has really made you a much better racer since you joined. Keep up the great work homie :cheers:

That's awesome lol

Anytime I'd be in one of those "winner picks pp" lobbies I'd always go for the 250. Dirty races were the best. The cars were so light and slow. Someone could try and take you out and instead would slow them down more than you lol. Takes you half a lap to build speed back up.
 
Apologies for not making many of the races, work made me ultra tired by the end of IRS’s events that it would’ve been hard to stay up. Hopefully in June, I’ll have a place close to where I work so I can go to sleep at a later time and not at like 8-9.

No worries man hope you can get back to the 8-9 and join us for some more racing soon
 
What a season!!! I'd say this one, for me, was most challenging. I drove a new car and felt competitive-ish for most races. I had a few bumps in the road, but still finished respectfully for my second season. I look forward to season 5 and hope to improve more.

Thanks to everyone for your hard work to keep this series alive.

Smoky Top Racing will have a press release soon regarding the future of our team.
