I made one pass on you that would be considered dirty. It was the last race, and from what I experienced, it was far from the dirtiest move of the night. I ducked inside you on one of the 90 degree turns and stole the apex. By the time you turned in, you hit my rear quarter. If you're considering that a wrong that you need to right please let me know. Your comments have been ambiguous as to who your blaming for foul play.

Yes. you. that moment. I am relying very heavily on momentum for these first few tracks (my own doing as I'm not adding parts) so being pushed off my line and into a wall is something I take issue with. Last race, first race...any race, there's no excuse. And it wont fly either as acceptable because other dirtier mover occurred. I'm not sure if I could have held off the two other cars that passed me the following lap, but I'd have liked a go at it. I've have often said how cautious I am, it often burns me...that I'd rather tail someone for an hour and hope they make a mistake than make a move that could take them, I or both out.

I love when you say "by the time you turned in, you hit my rear quarter."

How silly of me to think that the driver behind me wouldnt pull around and steal (your words and against OLR) my corner when I'm braking for the turn in. Feel free to watch it again. It was somewhere between laps 3-7, probably around 40-45 seconds into lap.

-----

You drove as the night dictated. I didnt appreciate being used as a partial brake and I hated worse getting caught up a lap later by two cars I could have kept ahead of had you just waited for the straight in a much faster car and passed. I would have drafted you to the finish and all would have been well. Now though, its over. Done. Where are we racing next week and how soon can we turn damage back on permanent?

So did I punt you or steal your line? Which is it?

The only contact in my replay is when you turned in and hit my rear quarter.
 
I hope Tony Stewart wins the championship this year. I like Carl Edwards, he's a classy driver, but Tony Stewart is one of my heroes.
 
I lost respect for Tony after this comment...

“If guys want to block then they are going to get wrecked every time. Until NASCAR makes a rule against it, I am going to dump them every time for it.”

...especially since the guy he dumped (Brian Vickers at Infineon) wasn't even blocking him, he was stuck in early race traffic.
 
Who cares, it's Brian Vickers. Didn't you see what he did to Matt Kenzeth?
 
Two things:

Ahh Lemons, how it brings out such disdain and ire every season. Good to see the ol' bitch and moan sessions are still as frequent as before.

And secondly, it was nice to see my post seemed to illicit no response whatsoever. Glad to see I'm missed... :(

Post again?
If you've posted something in the last two days, try again. It's one of those 5 pages a day times in LeMons.
 
Apologize... uh how's this. The 360 was an amazing attempt. I'm sorry I couldn't pull it off.

Cujo, you bring a level of immaturity that is unmatched. This is exactly why I am glad you are gone. You have wrecked me more than once and blamed me for it every time.

When I wreck another driver (which hasn't been recently, thanks the gods), or even think that I might have wrecked another driver, I apologize. When other drivers have wrecked me, they've apologized. You show no remorse. And what's worse, you don't even take the blame for your own faults. It isn't that you are a immature driver, it is that you are an immature person.

As to the racing in the three heats I was in:

I thought it went okay. But I was epically slow, so people got around me quickly and I didn't see much action. There was a couple times when I tapped people, and once where I really hit Bowtie. Dreadfully sorry. I was so focused on following you that I got the markers mixed up and braked too late.

Fortunately, Bowtie was able to get away before the cars behind us caught up, so I don't think he lost any positions, just some time.

There was a lap when someone smashed me into a wall hard. I think it was Morbo. I don't really remember. But he parked and waited for me to get off the wall and back around him. That was fantastic.

I don't know if he missed his braking point and hit me or if someone hit him and then he hit me. Either way, the hit was light enough that I didn't suffer any damage, but it really did look and feel like a hard hit. I'm not bovvered.

As to the Trackbound/Chuyler/Diabolic/Bowtie hits. I've been waiting for the dust to settle. Do you guys want me to review and assign penalties, or are you guys okay?

As to Tony Stewart, on the one hand, he is driving NASCAR. How dull can racing get? On the other hand, he is doing it to make money. I'd race for free if anyone let me. Ofcourse he is going to wreck others, he is after the purse.
 
all you guys who are complaining about being bumped need to relax...in heat 2 I got completely slammed (an exaggeration, but it sounds better) by spoobies into the wall in turn 1, and everyone got around..I think I was in 2nd at the time, and probably would have made it into 1st by the end of the heat. I finished 10th. I don't care...

We're racing Nurb' GP/D next week, and I, pyxen, the Van of Awesome will win again. Stop complaining!

PS: anyone interested in driving Spa in a lounge should add my alternate account (because I bought the DLC with it instead - stupidly). I'm gonna set my lounge to default to it, and apparently you can race in someone's lounge on their default track, without them even being online..which means no need to buy the trackpack if you want to try it out.

PPS: DiabolicandBTKisloveeternal.

PPPS: I miss you, Dika..
 
I guess the dust settled for me, but if I feel another hit coming, I won't be scared to throw down again.

Nough' said.

Pyxen. You and Dabney are jealous.
 
I have gone through the replays at least twice now and rewound a couple of the situations. With the exception of me and chuyler getting into each other, which I have privately taken care of, apologized for, explained, and cleared up, I would say I had a pretty dam clean night. The only other driver I got into was Geezer in race 2. The first time was around lap 6 or 7, turn 1. I tried getting under and couldnt. I let off to let him gain his spot back. Then there was some contact in the S before the turn about. I have watched that numerous times from different cars and different angles. First time watching I thought I got into him for a 2nd time. Upon some other replays I am not sure where the blame is. Looks like BTK nudged him before the S, which sent him off the line. Then it looks like he may have come across me having not cleared me. If I did wrong, I apologize. I was very grateful he won that race after that lap though. BTK, you have some nerve talking about my "rough" driving and some slide job. What slide job, what race, what lap? I guess your dive bomb, plow job in race 1, lap 8 to take the lead and win is okay and not as severe? The only other contact I remember having with you was in race 4 coming up through the field. It was right near the finish line area, you were either bouncing off the wall, or turning off the wall and coming back into traffic. I didn't see much of a choice but to keep my pace and line and go through what looked to be a big wreck about to happen.

I thought about doing that with Spa myself. What I should do, though, is set up Lemons Country on default for those that don't care to download it from Huyler or me.

As to buying the DLC on the alt account, they should be fixing that next month, so it wasn't so bad.
 
You're kidding right? How about turn one lap 8? You got the lead? Or was that a myth, like a unicorn on the side of track?
 
Took the lead yes, but it was a clean pass. No contact, both cars maintain a line. If that is a bad, unclean pass, then it is time racing.
 
There was contact on my screen, might have been lag, but I got a huge slam from the side that turn.
 
Lets be clear. You hit me by putting your car in a place that it shouldnt have been. OLR gave me the corner, so if I turn into an antique that shouldnt have been there... I fault you. Please watch the replay from my position in 3rd person if possible. The corner was there then gone. No matter your final thought, it was unclean. You were consistently gaining on me in a car that would have EASILY passed me 15 sec. later on the straight. Now its over and Im looking foward to next week.

PS. looking for sub. driver for last race. will be on vacation out of town. When I find one, Ill let you all know. hopefully a 450 guy can step in for me.

PPS. Have I mentioned how much respect I have for the people of Canada. Just the best sort of folks one could hope to associate with.
 
A little off subject here....but the Seasonal Time trials are sure a lot of fun. Its really cool that you can see your friends times separate from the hords. Y'all should run them as it really is a giggle.

I've seen your manlove, and I guess I just want what you have...I'm not afraid to admit it...
 
If TrackBound is booted from the series, Bowtie and myself will have to be booted as well. That's the only fair thing to do. There is no single incident that cannot be explained by prior incidents. The retaliation just got worse as races progressed and it began to interrupt other driver's races as well.
 
Did TrackBound get kicked, too? He's grayed out on the spreadsheet.

No, no one else has been booted. TrackBound left on his own before I updated the spreadsheet, so it is reflected there. He did mention is desire to return in a following season.

Since I updated the spreadsheet, Diabolical_J has left, too.
 
We need to call an end to this malarky, you guys are harshing my mellow. Can we move on to next week, please?
 
Mmm... I love harshmellows! :)

Back on topic... I was looking at the spreadsheet and I think the Demio just sucks. I mean, I know I'm not a very fast driver, but I was at 420pp and most others were under 400pp and were still passing me readily. Looking forward to next week.

PS. Dabbles, did you give up on the TC series? I'm itching for another series in faster cars.
 
420pp...Color me jealous as Im sitting at 359. Im banking on things outside my control and having fewer people on track was one of them. Fortunately with folks leaving or being booted, theres less winnings going around which is what I hoped for. Also...hopefully the winnings are not affected for this week, so will we keep people not racing on spreadsheet occupying whatever spot their points allow? Did that make sense?
 
I'm going to drop out of the series before the final race. Just letting you know. I'll run every race except the last one.

It will make sense once we get closer.
