Correct. Indy is showdown finale.

Madmen who will move up the grid

Sort your connections out too for next season folks.

Want help? PM me.

 

[Furinkazen]

Gokartman and Matty need to have it sorted in particular if they wish to come back - there's is less reliable than a north korean missile....

False- They are reliable, they just don't have anybody big enough to reach the button to launch them

The internet connections or missiles?

 

[MustangRyan]

Correct. Indy is showdown finale.

My idea was to convey the fact that this is a poor use of scheduling. Indy is such a great track. SSRX is... a track.

 

[Matty]

Hey, SSRX is a great track. As is Motegi.


These statements are in no way biased by the fact I've won two races at each track this season. (In multiple series.)

SSRX requires talent to win. Just like how Dega requires talent to win. Sure, you can get lucky, but there's a reason Brad Keselowskis only come around every once in a great while (And even than Brad ended up being a Cup champion).
It's easy to drive, but you need to get yourself in a postion to win with friends in right places. There's a reason why Dale Earnhardt won 10 Dega races, and he wasn't "just lucky".

The races at Daytona and SSRX are basically the same, except if you run out of gas at SSRX, you're doomed.

 

[Furinkazen]

Indy's second race got taken by Daytona Road this season.

SSRX has no place in any racing series, it's a complete joke.

2 in one season? Really?

Was fine last season.

Let's all drive in a straight line for an hour, that's really fun. The only reason some people enjoy having races there is that literally anybody can grab a lucky win that they can proudly put in their signature regardless of how useless you are behind the wheel, which isn't how racing should be.

Pepsi Racing thanks Furi for the inclusion of two SSRX races.

Like I got the my 1st POLE there!!!!

I think this proves his point.

Did you not read the first post on this page? Just because it's the easiest track to drive doesn't make it a race based purely on luck.

I did read the first post on this page and my point is still completely valid. Name a single easier track to win at if you're a poor driver; that's right, there isn't one.

It's a track that rewards incompetence which is a ridiculous idea.

It's insulting to drivers who have the talent to win at other tracks to put this pathetic excuse for a racing circuit on the schedule twice.

EDIT: Or even once..

 

[Furinkazen]

Tom your just annoyed because (through no fault of your own) you spent your SSRX career getting wrecked in one way or another.

I honestly don't care what you do with your series Furi, I'm not racing in it. However, the winner of a race shouldn't be the last man standing in a laggy, wreck filled draft-fest, they should be the fastest and most talented driver in the field on that given day.

I hate to sound immodest but I am/was a reasonably good driver, I mean, I won the IndyCar Series which is something. Despite this I think I only ever cracked the top ten at SSRX once due to things beyond my control. Can you see the issue here?

Yes, and Trucks have happily not had loads of lag at SSRX.

It's rarely come to last man standing. Race 1 at SSRX was one by an inspired strategy call by Pepsi, race 2 had a wreck as the field came up to speed, to be expected with under 25% a lap to go.

 

[cgr-10]

The lag wasn't the main point but whatever, I know you'll do what you want anyway so y'know.

Enjoy the season.

And...?

And...?

Because our trucks are gold, yellow, and black. Also I just got to NC to see our new shop and the shop is great. We will put pink on our rims to support people with cancer in some races.

How do you mix three colours?
