Yo Lambert, you can run this at 7:30 tonight, and we'll run ASA next week and then this series again at the same time until you start yor job.

I want to but it would just get too confuzing. I would just like to run this at the later time so everyone gets used to it.

Eh... everybody would rather have it at 7:30 for tonight though. lol If we just give enough notice we'll be fine.

its a good idea about not getting us confused but i think 7:30 would be best

Ok then we can run it at 7:30 until I get my new job then. No biggie.

fuuu car

welp that figures, I dont think we should have the halfway caution we should let the race play out, i had fricken 10 second lead and then its gone

I had something for the top 2 but the whole wheel falling off desk thing was teh suck. Oh well, 3rd works.

Well that race went pretty decent. Like all the rules we have in place. Defiantly something new and interesting. Seemed to be a survival race and just not trying to blow a gear. But overall, I'll call it a success. Good race all!

Heck yes! My first ever road course win! Man that entire hour was intense! Loved every min of it! Good race!

meh. ill take 5th, just suzuka is quite deathly, ready to move on. Good win Lambert.

I hate competition cautions so much. Everyone together froze my computer for a second caused me to spin, and it took me a lap to get back on track...By then I was too far behind to catch up.

Terrible race for me altogether. On a track that I know by heart and have run countless times, I still managed to set a personal best of more than 12 seconds off the leader's pace. I was never able to run faster than a 1:52 all race weekend and that is shameful in itself. Even without a proper setup (I was using a Singapore setup), I have no idea why I was so far off the pace. I don't know what you guys were doing but there was no way for me to keep up. It's a bummer for me because Suzuka is a track that I know like the back of my hand and I was hoping to be fast here. But I'm not going to mope and complain all day, I'll take what I can get. At least I started and soldiered on for 28 minutes, which is a feat in itself.

I'm just clueless, I've never been that slow before in my life. I know I have a shitty wheel and laptop but jeez, that was a mockery.
