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

[Niku Driver HC]

Thankfully no one was hurt. But sadly, @raven214's old truck is now destroyed. We had to evacuate the garage area because it actually ended up exploding a couple of minutes later. We'll replace his garage in time for the race, but you owe us a couple of bucks for the Happy Meals we lost that we were going to give to the Super Speedway's fun zone

Also GM has stated that it will send a new one that doesn't spontaneously go off

Perfect, it's coming out of my own pocket, just what I needed. Oh well, thank god I have contacts within the Treize Faction, know the boss there. He's a good guy when he's not plotting to take over Earth and that sort of thing. He can help with the expenses.

I sure hope so, otherwise I'll be very frustrated, I was promised superior firepower from those parts, but not that literally!

I just realized something. If you needed a laser why didn't you just ask the Galactic Empire? I'm sure my man Vader would have hooked you up with a spare one.

Actually, thanks but I already found a new system. Or a design for one, at least. Turns out Treize is also an accomplished robot designer, so he knows a thing or two about lasers. He forwarded me some blueprints, and told me they're the right ones for my car. Gotta call GM and send them ASAP. Keep Vader on speed dial though, you can always use a laser yourself if necessary.

Just don't point it at Raven's car again, the last thing we need is more expenses.

@Gerarghini What contigs are required? Only the series logo?
@Niku Driver HC Thoughts?

Oh man, that's great. A bit bare bones-looking because it lacks some sponsors, but still brilliant. I was not expecting that rear end in a million years, but oh man did that make me laugh (in a good way, mind you). Just add one or two more sponsors and it'll be just right.

That's brilliant and yes, only the series logo.

I was going off the real car

Which is why there's no sponsors except for the Lexan logo, which I found on one of the older pictures

 

[BKGlover]

I may have a new sponsor for this series. Once I get a standing request sent, I'll take a quick shot at it.

Hmm, fair enough, it's a true tribute of sorts. Guess it makes sense, when seen in that manner. In that case, go for it.

 

[Jahgee]

@Gerarghini Can I get a preview of how things line up?

 

[raven214]

Mr. Raven? Those damages on my car are coming out of your pocket, I hope. Do you think these experimental Chaparral parts comes cheap? And no, we're not testing a mini-laser generator for more speed, no siree. In fact, why am I even speaking about a laser generator? Ahem...

It'll be interesting to see how the races can be without the stats thing coming into play, I eagerly await the quali results.

What if I told you fellas there won't be a limit on team members in this series

Also @Niku Driver HC, your laser thing accidently went off in the garage while your guys were working on it and set @raven214's damaged truck on fire

@Niku Driver HC it appears you owe me for one truck. I was wondering what all those hushed voices were talking about in the garage next to us right before the expletives started flying and our truck went up in flames.

Indeed, I have already sent the funds required for a new truck to your team's bank account. You will get acess to a new truck soon enough, and apologies for the troubles. We will also remove your name from any of the future lasers' targeting system.

.........

Er, ignore that last sentence.

@Jahgee1124

Spoiler: Chevrolet Chaparral 2T Renders

 

[Jahgee]

Perfect. It's up to you @Niku Driver HC as to if/when you use it

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Perfect. It's up to you @Niku Driver HC as to if/when you use it

Well, I am definitely using that, the only question that remains is when. Is there any race in Texas?

Edit: Ok, I checked, and apparently there isn't a race in Texas. Unless something changes, I'll use the 2J livery for the tenth round, the Chevrolet Silverado round.

 

[DurWinning]

So I just want to confirm: TKU is (as of now) made up of me, Jahgee, Niku, and Doodle right?

So far, yes, that's the case. Of course, this lineup is still subject to change...

 

[Jahgee]

Yep, but there's no limit on team members, so people like @The Bman could still join

Round 17 is still up to user vote so there may be a chance to have a Texas track there. That is unless another silly track or whatever gets the vote instead

Yeah, I ain't trusting this field of wacky dudes to make a sensible choice, if you know what I mean.

Texas World Speedway is soon to be demolished. How about a tribute race there?

A good idea, but that depends on whether the schedule allows for it or not...

 

[The Bman]

You really want me to join this.

 

[Gerarghini]

Two possibilities:

1. I can use it as a test race. Problem being is that it's not "unique" enough I think to determine the effectiveness of the Ai adjustments and ratings.
2. Gets voted in to be Round 17, although I don't really see that happening

I'm just saying, we could be the 2005 Roush of this series

It was just meant as a mention. Auto Club and Michigan are it's sister tracks, so I doubt it gets any traction.

I have a more pressing issue ATM. Specifically I now have a sponsor, a bright one. What file(s) do you need?

In terms of how to upload it here? Any format will work IMO, I'm not really picky about that.

 

[BKGlover]

OK then. PNGs incoming.

 

[Doodle]

Now we just need @Doodle, and we will have reached our final form

You hadn't responded to my message with the Anchorman gif , no big deal, I just thought it was funny
