[RACE][NR2003] 2015 SuperTruck Series by Caterpillar, Race #1/18: NAPA Auto Parts 250

[Niku Driver HC]

I agree with BK; the Ridgeline doesn't look that ugly, to be honest. It's actually quite good looking, although that could also be associated with your good livery, but I dunno lol.

Considering Takata's current situation, it is probably better to not sponsor them.

 

[RACECAR]

That Ridgeline looks fantastic, fits pretty well.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Also, I have decided on the schedule for my liveries:

• Rounds 0 (are we holding that round?) to 9: the vintage Pennzoil livery that I've unveiled recently;
• Round 10: the Chaparral 2J tribute by @Jahgee1124, hopefully with some sponsorship (I don't want to run a sponsor-less car, you crazy 'Murican );
• And the rounds after 10, bar the last one; the original livery. Notice the underlined portion...

So, here we are. Can't wait for the next race, I am really eager to see that Chevrolet 2K Silverado on the track...

• And the rounds after 10, bar the last one; the original livery. Notice the underlined portion...

I see your underline and am pleased to inform you that the finale will be quite the treat. If I can get around to doing it sometime soon, I want to edit the track with new everything and tons of grandstands and give it that epic Super Bowl-esque finale theme.

Well well, that's very interesting if it comes to fruition... I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that, and try to get a fitting livery to match the race. Hopefully college will be less of a problem once you get around to do that.

Also, today is the last day to submit a form. If you do not submit a form, you will be racing with fours in every stat instead of fives (So a max of 20 instead of 25).

Here are the penalties handed out from pre-race inspection.

@Niku Driver HC, found to have a total of 26 instead of 25. Has been given a P0 penalty (lowest penalty, basically a minor, very minor warning) and docked 1 point off of the Consistency category.

@Harsk100, found to have a total of 38 instead of 25. Has been given a P3 penalty and will start at the rear of the field regardless of qualifying time. Stats have been reset to neutral 25.

Onto other news, I need these drivers' schemes or clarification as to what to run.

I almost forgot to check when doing mine. Glad I did.

@CSMDuty11

I will be alternating between the MLG and the Voltage Fords (Race 1:MLG, Race 2:Voltage, Race 3:MLG, Race 4:
You Get the Idea)
Except for the 10th, and the last(18th) races, which will be strictly the MLG Ford.

This is race #0, so MLG or voltage?

 

[CSMDuty11]

MLG, i was using the Race thing as an example, which is easily confused as the real deal, because of course.

But races №10 and №18 being the MLG Ford still apply, with race №0 in mind.
...But to be honest, they would have anyway.
But do check my post where i said that i submitted the form, and highlight the entire post, if not my post along with my quote.

And that, is why you use a calculator.

 

[GTRacer22]

I just did it in my head.

Oh Harsk, what will we do with you!?

 

[RACECAR]

Well, My PM should take care of some of those issues. I'll submit my newer schemes later on.

Edit: Also, is the schedule out? I can more easily decide one when to run my

[Gerarghini]

Practice and Qualifying set to go live in a couple of minutes. Come back half an hour later for both results. This race/set of races will follow the real life Budweiser Duel format, only with only one shootout instead of two. The top two qualifiers will be locked into the starting line-up, with the rest of the grid to be figured out by virtue of this qualifying race.

[Gerarghini]

For good measure, here's tonight's starting line-up. Previous racers and drivers who've submitted a paint scheme will race regardless of whether or not they submitted a form, albeit at around 80% of their maximum point possibility.

Spoiler: NAPA Auto Parts 250 HW Shootout Qualifying Reports and Evalutation

@Gerarghini and @Harsk100 defy odds and take the front row.

Due to the unique procedure of this race's qualifying, both Harsk and I will receive a bonus point for claiming the front row. The rest of the field will race their for their starting position in tomorrow's NAPA Auto Parts Hot Wheels Shootout!

-Silly Season Updates-

-Due to both @Doodle and @Michelin having NAPA as a sponsor, Michelin's sponsor mistakes Doodle's truck for Michelin's, and caused Michelin to slam the door on @Jahgee1124, who spun out on the backstretch.
-Nissan "reps" (aka, people parading their GT-R LM shirts), sour by their tenure at Le Mans a couple of hours ago, undo the screws on @GTRacer22's right front tire on his Chevrolet, causing GTRacer to lose said tire and have a minor accident entering turn one. The salty Nissan "reps" where then accordingly arrested, claiming that a Corvette ruined the GT-R LM's hopes of winning the 24 hour event.
-McDonald's announces new lower priced Happy Meal thanks to the result of @Niku Driver HC's accidental explosion of various racing trucks.
-Driver @BayneHamlin1121 denies claims of being an assassin.
-The Toyota ferris wheel suffers a short circuit and stalls.
-The Pace Truck catches fire after accidentally being struck by a wild tire.
-Driver @rallymorten sets up a kiosk offering values on the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's movie. Strangely, a Chuck E. Cheese's mascot was present and proceeded to fight the FaZebear mascot. Both tripped over an air gun and where sent to a local hospital.

I somehow approve of that last sentence. Does that mean that Happy Meals will now offer Chaparral-themed gifts for children? "Now get a free LASER with your Happy Meal! Da da da da daaaa!"

Also, I'm happy with those practice/quali results. I'm aiming for a better (and more consistent) race pace, but a good starting position always helps.

 

[GTRacer22]

@BayneHamlin1121 ARE YOU PATRICIA DRISCOLL????!!!!

What did I do to offend Nissan? Geez Nissan. Nissan stahp. STAHP WHAT R U DOING?!?

You didn't tag me. I am disappoint.

 

[Michelin]

Wait, Doodle has the same sponsor as I do? Isn't his truck sponsored by GoDaddy? '-'

 

[CSMDuty11]

Michelin's sponsor mistakes Doodle's truck for Michelin's, and caused Michelin to slam the door on @Jahgee1124, who spun out on the backstretch.

Wait, We can use doors in our trucks? Our trucks have doors?

I better remember that the next time i race in the MLG Ford!
