haha damn good move there Brinson! 09 and 9 1-2 finish lol

Gave ya the low line incase you did something like that, to try to get the run off the high line and my tires chattered and wasn't going haha

I was pulling for lemonhead, he was racing badass tonight, great job, sucks you had to warp at the worst possible time... I mean, for real, my heart sunk a little there seeing ya spinning when you came back

Great racing for the lead all race Emerson, that was a fun ass race haha! Got 2nd, couldn't pull off 3 in a row, but take the points

Thanks a lot man, that was some really good racing and I'm glad to have taken part. I just took mah time there and made my move, didnt wanna do a bump and run or anything on ya. That was really fun, thanks for having me guys. Props to Lemonhead to, we had a really good battle there before the competition caution and we were side by side for about 10 laps or so.

That was fun, gonna have to do it again sometime!

I made a bad decision to try and switch to my keyboard mid race lol. I probably would have been in a better position if not for that. Poor judgement on my part.

Still sounded like an epic race and the finish was amazing. Good win Matt.

The horrible thing is that my warp will never get any better.
I was the only opne on the internet, and I can't have wired internet anymore. We are paying for Time Warners bset package, which they advertise specifically for online gaming.

Oh well. I'm just fucking pissed that for the 2nd week in a row I've lost when I could have and should have won...

I wouldn't say "should have", sure you could have, but last week I was on tire saving mode and we had a long green flag run and I most likely would've gotten by you again, cause I caught you the first time...

Tonight, I was once again on tire saving mode and then you got by me and I had an epic run that MIGHT have been completed by the end of turn two on the outside, not sure if I was the only one who was able to keep up on the high line, but it did get some good runs off the corners if you didn't go in as hard.

But yeah, you definitely could've won tonight if you didn't warp right when you did, I tried to go up the track to try to not have you come back right into me, and I guess in doing so I got into the back of you while moving up and that spun you out in the process... It was an awkward deal, but for sure, you have been running extremely well the last couple of weeks, definitely top 3 material if it weren't for misjudgement/bad luck.

Keep at it tho bro, one of these races, you'll be able to win. Just gotta keep up the good work and hope you are completely clear when you warp, instead of having someone close on you like that. Shit happens, at some point, you just have to sit and think if it's your driving style that's causing you to have bad luck or if there's anything you can do to change it around.

I think the largest lead at the line was probably around .5 seconds, which says a lot... Racing for the lead all night was pretty good, I think if Emerson didn't have his issues, he probably would've been the winner, but we had a surprise winner and that was cool, too!

I hate tight setups like that, but in the end, it comes down to tire wear and who can keep theres down the best, even though we were racing hard, me and Emerson seamed pretty even on tire wear and speed too. Everyone else was great with the fresh tires. It really was a good race!

Hey Lemonhead, are you on a wireless router? I can help ya out because I'm on one as well. It's not your internet but the router that keeps going in and out. Do you have a Linksys router? I've heard that there's been trouble with NR03 with those.

If you have a low end router, that would be where the problem lies. You just can't race with a cheap router, or play any kind of game online for that matter. This is what I have and it is perfect: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/wirelessrouters/work-and-play/WNR2000.aspx

It's only 60 bucks and it does the job. But it looks lke it's coming from the wireless end, not the actual internet. You can have the fastest internet provider but it doesn't mean squat if you have a mediocre wireless connection.

I don't use the wireless but we do have a Linksys router and I've been having tons of issues lately as well.

Yeah TBH, the Linksys/Cisco wireless routers are a piece of shit and that's being really generous. They are slow beyond slow and to top it off, the signal is horrendous. My friend has one at his house for his PS3 and he has to reset the damn thing nearly everyday because it can't handle the load.

I have two Netgear routers; one for our house and the other for the beach house in the OBX. Neither have given me any problems, they are both fast as hell and they are under $65 bucks. I've tried D-Link, Belkin and Linksys before in the past but nothing can match Netgear and I'm being completely honest about that. Hell, the router I have isn't even top of the line but it beats anything else I've tried.

I'll see if I can convince my dad to buy that.
Honestly, my last router was a Linksys router we got for free, and when it died my dad just bought another Linksys router so I have no idea hwow much better another one would be.
