South Point Casino 200k @ Las Vegas [82L]

Great work on the track and setup changes, Chin. It was fun to drive once I got the hang of it.

I guess I'll put my 2 cents in here. First off, the track/setup was not that good. It was better than what it was when it was first posted, but still loose. After the first few laps, I just parked b/c I had a feeling there was going to be some wrecks coming. I don't know what we're try to do with track/setups, make it like it COT I guess. I miss the good 'ole days when we had stable setups and good racing, not this. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge every once and while, but tonight's stuff was just short of horrid. For me, it's just not as fun as it used to be...

You can say whatever you want or whatever, but it's just my opinion...

4 cautions in 82 laps. There may have been a select few who struggled with it, but for me, that was probably one of the easiest to drive.

We had a 44 lap green flag run to the end.

Also, you overcorrected into the wall 2 laps before you parked it.

I could drive that track decently. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it.

(At least until I got damage lol)

Agreed, and I couldn't run for longer than practice because of my license level. If anything, the FPS would've killed me before the setup did.

I thought the race was fun for the most part, even though the fans in the stands don't really enjoy long runs like we had in the end I sure did.

Don't worry, Lambert. You're not the only one. I held in complaints, and I ended up getting wrecked out by no error of my own. But to be honest, I just do not understand why we had to change what wasn't broken. The regular track would have sufficed just fine, in my opinion. But it's whatever. I enjoy a challenge, but sometimes things are TOO challenging and it takes the fun away.

inb4 I get a huge cuss, etc, etc.

fuck you

The bottom line is, the race happened. We are sorry you couldn't get a handle on the track but so few people had problems with it that we can only tell the select few that couldn't "better luck next time." It was a clean race and the setup was drivable. Hell, I, arguably one of the slower drivers here, had absolutely zero problems learning it within the 30 minute practice. It's not always about being fastest. It's about knowing how to control your car. That's what this is about. This is the top tier series for a reason.

The race is over, move on to next week. End of discussion.

for the record, I wasn't serious.
