7:30 PM EST every week, there Tyler lol
Couldn't get enough adjustments to go right for me all night, absolutely no idea how to setup cars... Looks like it's going to be a long season lol
Got 8th due to Wetz being... Well Wetz and Brett getting spun out lol Ran outta gas right before the line, but Wetz gave up before that, so I just coasted and finished 8th.
Kept it clean and even had a good wreck avoidance, Auz came down RIGHT in front of me and I shot through the tiny hole while getting loose and missed everyone haha

In 4 wrecks tonight, and some how managed a 4th place finish. Could have had 3rd there at the end, but car got loose when I got on J-Rob's bumper. My setup really came alive after about 15 laps. I just knew if I could get up in the Top 5 I could stay there. Thank God for open setups, b/c I know it really helped me out in the end.

Bleh, whatever, my setup was total shit, I'll take a 5th.
Ellery's probably confused because Caleb said a while back I believe (unless I'm misinformed), that we would start at 7:30 PM EST, but practices would be an hour so the race would be at 8:30 PM EST.

The way i understood was that it would be a 1 hour practice, but it would start unofficially at 7. then official practice at 7:30, q at 8. 10 min HH then race

Still don't like open sets.
Won pole by like 2 tenths, led about 30 laps. Car was good for a while then once it got bad it got baaaad.. Oh well.

Me neither, wasn't a huge fan of them, I think it's fun once in a while to tinker with a setup, but I just like going out and racing hard and not really worry about the setup.
Edited a setup I downloaded a bunch, and I'm not sure it was overly great, I was good on a very short run, and it was just absolutely terrible, I think I ended up over adjusting on it.

open sets are fun but sometimes i just want to race and not worry about making a setup for every race. it also discourages some people from racing sometimes. idk sometimes i like it, sometimes i don't. we should at least stick with it for a little while

I like open setups.
Okay, so I struggled pretty badly with mine. I was routinely 1-1.5 seconds off the leader. Yeah, that bad. I ragequit near halfway. I had been on the lead lap, but pitted just before the caution came out and was trapped 2 laps down. Oh well, all that tells me is that I need to work on a better setup for next week. I like the challenge.
