And a little picture taking isn't going to bring it. We came to race cleanly and competitively. I'm sure people would rather do a race knowing points/championships/risk is on the line, than cruising around at 30mph and posing so we could have photo-ops. Save it for the Photomode forums, or when people start wanting it.

Pictures can represent the pride and confidence you have in your team.

Look at my photo-shopping of APR Motorsport and such in the OP. I have full confidence in my team, tbw is a great racer and we can bring good points to the team if we both show up. What we need is confidence in other drivers, because purposely hitting someone off track/arguing about it isn't going to help morale.

James, you haven't won a race; your team won a race. I see no mention of "Team Owner" and your sig makes it look like you won a race. 
That's a funny idea. Will never happen.

Lol, I just noticed that.... Yea, that's pretty misleading...
And I've gotten a few requests for heavy damage, I think it will clean racing up, any thoughts?

Sure. It'll remind me to keep my temper more in-check. And, THAT is a big deal.

Points, since I'm looking to make up as much ground on points as I can.

What about the "innocent victims" of other peoples mistakes? I also remember having a damaged suspension on the formation lap this weekend in Rolex. Though with that being in the d/c race, I have no idea how

Someone kept bumping me on formation lap. Eventually, it got to the point that I brake-checked that person, to tell them to back off.

I didn't bump anyone from what I could remember, mind you I was second place and the polesitter D/C'd. I'm pretty sure I got a bump or two during the formation lap; I've come to expect to be bumped like a mother****er anyway so I just block it out.
Mel ran me off on a formation lap actually, but I managed to get revenge on the formation restart, so balance was restored.

What? The trolls that join the race once the timer starts? Host could just back out, kicking people who aren't members of the series until the last knockings and then rejoin the track.
Heavy damage would resolve the recklessness, and if people suffer pretty heavy damage in multiple areas in an incidient they can't just breeze off and wait for damage to mend.

The trolls I mean are new people. I have a hard time trusting people I haven't raced with before.
People that know heavy damage is on might take a more cautious approach when it comes to pace laps or passing. If they have an incident on there own, it's there own fault and they have no one to blame but themselves. They can always catch up when there is a caution.

Meh. I feel indifferent, I mean, heavy damage has:
-Realism
-Most clean racers will now try even harder not to hit
-A real reason for the "caution"
But it also has some disadvantages:
-You make a mistake, count your race done
-If we face some "intentional" hits like on Monza, and no one calls "caution" consider your race done
-Trolls who sign up but hit and leave the series
I'm for neither, just going by what you guys want.

Heavy damage allways brings it's downsides in PURE for the most part though we run heavy damage but the worst is lag damage can screw a race very easily on heavy damage. (I know as I have been a victim of it quite a few times)

Mistakes happen, lag happens. If we run heavy damage, it would make people more angry at each other. Someone would make a mistake and it would just make the victim that much more mad because now he has to pit to fix his damage. I don't want my races ruined, and I don't want to ruin another person's race.

I don't see the problem as the caution lap will give the damaged drivers the opportunity to be with the other drivers in the class once more regardless.
