I can make a carpack come Thursday.

SHOULD BE A FUN ONE.

The #25 Will be an open ride during this event (Not a sub). Let me know if you're interested.

I'm not making a carpack, the Dash pack pissed me off too much.

Also Jake, Caleb, Wetz, Lambert, and Chin make sure you've got those Gold banners on your windshield and shit. The layers are found in the Pro-Line file browser.

I'll make the carpack then for tonight.

carpacks are pointless

Rookie approval list posted.

Does anyone have a car I could use tonight? I wasn't planning on running but I might be able to now.

Jeffrey or Chad might.

I think Chad wasn't going to make it, so Jeffrey was going to drive his car (not as a sub I think), so maybe Jeff will let you run his car.

Ok, I've updated my carfile tonight with the gold banner.

Not sure if I am running my car or Chad's car yet. I can paint you a car quick tho Hyland.

Either way, I could just sub for Chad if he needs the points and won't be here tonight.

I guess just run Chad's car. Although, it doesn't have the right license layers on it though. And he did say it would be not for a sub.

I'm scared to know how some of you drive in real life.

Usual plate race

Sooooo close. If I would've been able to hold up on the high line and not get loose off of 2, that was my race to lose.

races like this make me wish getting on TS wasn't a requirement. its just another distraction at this point...nothing useful except mindless chatter

Congrats to Caleb on the win! Just frustrated when it felt like no one seemed to make a move to the high line when it counted.

Fun!

Frustrating plate race as usual. Rookies that make stupid mistakes, constantly. Track selection to allow rookies to run at was iffy. Always fun to get taken out of a race by someone with warp problems. Sometimes I wish we just go back to normal plate racing.

GW Caleb........

I don't see why anyone would complain about rookies. There were about 4 people causing problems all night, and most of them don't race here often.

All in all, I'm proud of a top 5, albeit upside-down. I raced good and clean and solid all day. I'm pretty happy with the result.

It wasn't you lemonhead or really any of the other normal Rookies that run here a lot. Most of what I saw was caused by people that just show up here b/c we are running at a SuperSpeedway. I know when we get 30+ car fields, it's going to be a disaster in some shape or form. People just drive with their heads up their asses. And with the Chassis 0, it just makes it worse. There should be a rule set in place where people come here, they have to run like 3 races before they even get a shot at running Pro-Line. Pretty frustrating when our normal racers here get taken out by people we don't know.

And why I'm on my little rant here, I don't understand why we have to change stuff that isn't broke. Like Chassis 0, why did ever switch to this? Our racing used to be pretty fun at SS's. I don't get why we have to run something that goes 210 mph. I mean, the real cars are 203-204 max with a hell of a run. And run normally around mid to high 190's. I remember some awesome races back when we just had it normal. And if we want to change it, how about CTS physics? We have not tried that instead of this nightmare. Superspeedway races used to be fun to look forward to, but now it's just a nightmare.
