Dudes, I miss you all terribly. I've been at an end of season party tonight for the job I've been on. All I could be bothered to do was eat a prodigious amount of chicken & drink an unholy amount of liquid (I may have inadvertently auditioned to join team vodka) while "diss'ing" my esteemed colleagues from work, in the hope that I can get back to joining you crazy fools for some drunken racing in the near future.
While all of this has failed to endear me to my real life associates (don't worry, I have plenty of previous credit saved up as a socialite); I knew, the whole time, that I was just trying to get back to where I belong....

...In a pretend car looking around a PlayStation racing circuit. 👍

See you guys very soon.

You guys need to fight Tjger to let me in the lobby. He deleted me off of his friends list and is trying to push me out of SAC.

I hope you guys give each other some slack, I suspect you will.

Fantastic battles all over the board again...
It's remarkable how you get wrapped up in each race's battles regardless of your position...
I love nothing more than defending and also attacking from behind, especially when it takes 2-3 laps...
So much fun...

I was a little put off at OB's "time out" originally - I'll be honest... I don't want us to have to "discourage participation" be it individually to each other or as a group making the decision... and even tho I'm as frustrated by some lack of seriousness toward our club - I would like to not have to make decisions who races and who doesn't...
but after racing tonight I rememberd that our group can only be so big... (Great job at a full room by the way) and racing with SAC is not always going to be automatic, it's a priviledge given to those loyal and serious about it purpose...
And just because you want something doesn't always mean you've earned it...
Many of us have hot lapped the rear of races race after race after race with no excuse and no bickering or quitting...
Our group tonight had none of that and it was a fun fun night...

I hope we all stay true to our little group's purpose of breaking up the week some with some fun and drinks and that we have many more battles in the future!!

About that...I want to tell you what really happened, but not in public. send me a PM.
 
"Racing with SAC is not always going to be automatic, it's a privilege given to those loyal and serious about its purpose"

And denying a frequent driver access to the racing with SAC is adhering to its purpose? Yeah, right. Why don't you get both sides of the story first?
 
OK, so I know that people don't necessarily like me that much or have much respect for my sporadic outbursts of anger, but I can say this time, I felt genuinely disrespected by tjger.

Let's look at all of the things Tjger said to me on monday.

1. This is after the comment I made about the BRZ event (I had no idea it was a drivers meeting)


That's a load of Bull **** and you know it.

I and the other drivers bust our asses to provide you with the opportunity to learn something.

Your attitude is an insult to the other drivers and I am sick and tired of it.

Last night's race was also a drivers meeting to discuss what's going to happen.

You didn't have to drive anything. What you should have done is stuck around and listen.

So you better come up with a better excuse and post it.

I'm getting the impression that someone else is eating at your ass. Well guess what?

I am too.

2. After a valid explanation of one of the causes of not playing gt6 (Don't remember this one)

Try again. Not good enough

3. Second valid explanation (I didn't get notifications on GMail)

Not good enough, young man.
You're on this thread more than anyone else.

You came into the room and then left.

Try again.

4. Third valid explanation (This one I forgot too, unfortunately. Most likely I mentioned my relationship troubles here.)

Try again.
In fact reread your Bull **** about using your Xbox as an excuse.

5. This message was deleted but in summary: he copied my increasingly unstable messages and put them all in one message basically meant to be posted here and then made a one paragraph comment about mphile's flipping racing seat that I lost interest in quickly. He thought this was all about me hating Mphile for selling him (tjger) the seat, and the T80 incident too.
 
as the kids say....
...deuces

If I had a dollar for everyone that didn't like me Id be poor cause I'm awesome
But normally that saying would be if I had a dollar for everyone that didn't like me Id be rich...

Don't take it so personal my man
Lots of groups out there that would enjoy your style!!

Best wishes

I know I'm pretty new around here, but I've seen it the few times I've been in a room with you and hear it all the time. Frequent driver is specifically that, you just drive until you either see you won't win or you just get P.O.ed. I think I can say with a good degree of certainty that frequent RACERS is what SAC are really after. I can see you're trying to get some respect from some of these guys, but you're not doing it in the right way. You sit on the forums and say all about how you did this or that on the track, but come race time you don't perform to the level you say you're at. That's what's getting under the skin of some of these guys, you just need to accept you're not at that level yet. I'm not as good as I'd like to be and I know it, but I'm always on there racing more so I can be that good and make progress. This club is the best group of guys overall that I've raced with online EVER, and I've raced some pretty phenomenal guys to know what fast is, this entire group fits in that fast and up category. Some of the guys here would be willing to take you under their wing and help you out, it's just all the smack talk and something of lacking results that is getting guys riled up. The smack needs to go down and the racing needs to go up, we'd love to have you there, just in full racing capacity and no smack talk.

Edit: Also don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help. I run the championship in my signature that has a few budding drivers in it and they don't hesitate to ask me for help on setups, brake points, all that good stuff. Had you not been making something of a fool of yourself recently, tonight you would have met someone who I consider to be kind of my protege. When I met him he was all over the place, but he asked for help and hasn't really stopped since. Tonight he came for casual night for the first time and did absolutely fantastic, he got 2 second place finishes right off the bat and was in contention for the rest of the time he stayed tonight. I could not be much more impressed by him quite honestly. He's also starting to become more of a serious contender in the Spec Championships. So my point, really, is find somebody who wants to help you, take their advice whether you want it, like it, or not, and just keep practicing with them and asking them, and most of all, work on consistency. Make that someone proud that you're doing that well because it's like having a teammate all the time, and there's just nothing better than that in GT.

good race with the mazda lm 55 at LeMans :cheers:
 
all i can say is what eh team said, this is the best group of drivers i know and race with , period, end of story... If u slip just one little time u get passed by 5 guys, thats close hard racing. I look forward to all sac and tiger events because u know the quality and quantity will show everytime! Last night was a packed house, a line at the door to get in, that speaks louder than words. Great work and lets talk about some racing!
 
I can't wait for it, to be honest with you guys. It looks like an MR car but apparently it's FR.
 
:cheers: what a blast last night..!!!:cheers:

had so much fun, although I finished at the lower rank last night in most of the races, but what the heck , it's causal and it's about fun!!

Spa was exciting, got rapped by 2 aliens drivers, lap 4 was friggin' exciting with EH_Team43 :lol::lol:

R246 was :scared::scared:, that green pepper Manny could pop-up from nowhere anytime!!! :crazy::crazy:

The Abarth with CS is such a fun car to drive with..!!!

Mazda LM.... gosh.. too fast for me... still learning how to take some of the corners... :lol::lol:

maybe I need some vodka or beers!! :cheers::cheers:


+1 for last night because we didn't seem to have any connection issue!! 👍

Looking forward to the 24hours Daytona..!!! :cheers:
 
Lower ranks?.
I finished several times at the back. Hey its Casual Night. Anything can happen
Including an attempt at driving a '70 Dodge Challenger R/T. 440 Six Pack and 4:10 gears at the back.
Oh, yeah stock polyglass GT(Sports Hard) tires. Duhh? Hopefully no one will post a picture of it.

In the end. My girls are happy(spending money). Because "we finished third at Lemans."

There must be something about Lemans and third.
 
I'm really bummed I missed the Scion/Toyota/BRZ event...
that was a really fun race last night...
I put together a car for last night, seeing I didn't have one, thinking it wouldn't have been that fun...
was actually really fun...
it was fun letting the Miata stretch its legs too!!!

man this Dubai track looks fun...

I may watch a few more hours and pack my speedo and throw a duffle bag in the back of my "complementary" new C7 and pour a big roady.
(thank you sponsers)
and begin the long road trip to warmer temps....
Gasoline is cheap and us humans cant afford first class airplane tickets...

I was chasing Tjger's tail pipe at LeMans and at the last 2 turns Mr. Tjger got a penalty so I was ..... "You snooze, you loose!" and as I was about to pass him I got hit with a penalty!!!! Oh man, I screamed so hard that my head started hurting so bad! Thank you Tjger for raising my blood pressure, it was fun :cheers:
