Ok, I sent a matte light green, matte pink, matte green, and matte yellow to my dupe account. I'll send them out as soon as I can.

Hey Psycho,
Unrelated but...I would like to see about a color change for Enduro. My wife hates Red because of SEC college football (she is a sports nut and most of our competition wears some form of red). However, I am a fan of the New Orleans Hornets NBA team, soon to be the New Orleans Pelicans and wanted something to match their new color scheme. It makes more sense to go with Blue with Gold Wheels though..still #3 though for homage to Chris Paul. Thanks in advance.

Race Recap
Congratulations to the division winners Choate51 Division 1, ThethirdRoy Division 2, littleregret265 Division 3, and jaydoc_and_meech Division A! Race 1 was a comedy of errors as multiple drivers in multiple division ran out of gas because of the games fuel recommendations. In fact, multiple drivers ran out of gas twice because the recommended fuel was so inaccurate. However, up until drivers began running out of fuel the racing was fantastic. Race 2 was a different story as drivers knew they could not rely on the games recommended fuel amount. The racing was great and the race results in Race 2 were an accurate reflection of the race. Great racing and a big thank you to those who came out and raced with us!

I HATE THIS CAR! I bought it for the a-spec challenge and it had me cursing at my T.V. in less than 5 minutes. Sold it as soon as I was done with them. I cant even tune it to were its comfortable to drive. There's a strong possibility of a rage quite if I'm in last place and I dont think I can gain a position. Mid engine all wheel drive sounds like a great idea too, I have no idea why I despise this car so much.

Oddly enough until I tried it on this track I didn't care for it much either. But, it seems like at Deep Forest anyway, all is good between us. 👍

There is a small chance that I will make the race tomorrow. I love the lambos, so it could be fun. I'd be doing it with zero practice though

Race 33: Deep Forest Raceway
Car: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 '08
Laps: 35
Tires: Racing Hards
Date: April 6, 2013
Prize: 1994 Birthday Ticket
Rules
You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.
"Rubbin"
This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league! We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.
First Turn
You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may. This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.
Dive Bombing
Dive bombing is unacceptable, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.
Procedures
Division 1 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division1 lounge
Division 2 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division2 lounge
Division 3 will race at 10pm Eastern in the TURTLE_Division3 lounge
Connection Issues
Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT5 in game System Cache
Pit Stops
Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.
Quitting
Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon!
Microphones
Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.
Reminders
Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1
If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you renter
If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
Race Incidents
Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.
Final Note
Race Clean and Have Fun!

Wondering how I'll make out tonight. I started on-call yesterday. Saturday night's are unpredictable. Problem is, even if I don't have to go in, I still have to answer the phone and take down information regarding the issue. Hopefully all goes well and I can race and I don't get a call. Hopefully. If I can't make the race, please don't hold it against me even though I DNF last week.

I was just at wal*mart looking at the hot wheels and I found tonights lambo. You have no idea how hard it was not to throw it on the ground and stomp on it. I probably should have bought it so I could light it on fire at home.

Heading to Turtle Town for some warm up/practice.
Well this is weird. No installed parts but it won't let me in with tuning prohibited.
Aha! Non standard aero package removed.
Anyone care to jump in for a few short races? I've got about another 90 miles to put on this thing for full break in.

And now, family has visited unexpectedly. This is going to be a tough one to make. We shall see.
