That sucks Chenstrap. Hope it all works out for his family and for those of you who knew him. Hmmm, nothing personal but suicide is a suckers way out IMHO. However, it takes super gargantuan balls to take your own life!

IDK the whole story, all i know is im super worried about his wife (who lives in another state). Basically she was dating another Marine Friend of ours who was killed in Iraq a couple years ago. Then she marries this guy who was the first guys best friend (both being marines) and then this happens.

IDK what was going through this guys mind though. I do know both him and another marine friend of mine who shot himself a couple years back both went through Fallujiah in 2004 and saw a hell of a lot of shit being in one of the groups having some of the highest casulties in the entire battle. So lord only knows what he was thinking/seeing in his minds eye.

Combat leaves scars that are unimaginably hard to heal (if ever). I hope children were not involved. My condolences.

I gotta say that everyone was a bit faster on this track than I expected. (including myself). I was sure the top qualifiers would be in the 1:33.4-5 range and I figured I would be low 1:34's. I estimated that the avg..times would be mid 1:34.4's to high 1:35. But everyone, <well most of you> put some time in and exceeded what I thought.

My power flashed when I was Lap 20 I believe.

i had a good run going, on pace for 3rd place until my internet decided to shit the bed like it always does...fml

don't sell yourself so short, it was lap 23, you got halfway and more points

That race was bull. On to the next one. Does not matter now. I should have just taken the pre race time of 1:12 that I ran with Charles and kept on moving into my new house. I think restarting because someone lags out after lap 3 is bs. If I lag out, I lag out and I know I am done. I go from first 1000 ft ahead of 2nd and 3000 ft in front of third to going into a tire wall on the first hot lap as we all battled for first.

You know what sucks? I finished 5 minutes slower with 100% aero damage.

Oh and the person that said, don't be a d! You would be doing this too if it had been you.

I have been broke into twice in 10 days. Had my stuff cleaned out twice. I busted my ass to get new xboxes and tvd just for the chance to get on here and race with you guys. I think it is messed up that we restarted for a lag out, but I was told no after getting trashed. I work my ass each week in these practices. I try to follow predator, Wilkerson, etc. because I want to get better.

I just don't think this was right.

TheManNowDog777, sorry about lap 2. You braked early and I found you. I looked at the replay and I just did not expect you to hit the brakes so soon. My apologies.

The outlaps for the rooms should really really be taken out if we are going to do them. The outlap for A room was so slow my lap was actually certified. I can't imagine how much time that cost myself and others in A room. On top of that it was an incredibally late clear and go.

Rediculous to be penalized for making A room.

Sorry if I sounded off too much! Been one hell of a week. Got broke into twice, these sorry bastards stole my 15 month olds Halloween candy and piggy bank money, 4 big screens, three xboxes, a ps3, all my games....

The only fun I was having was racing with you guys this week. I just snapped when we restarted. I just felt that it was not justified. I have seen people lag out early and they did not get a restart. Maybe if that person would have won in our room, I would not have been this mad.

It has been a terrible, terrible week. So I hope no one takes offense to my ranting, but I did 5 minutes better pre racing with Charles with ai drivers? And they intentionally try to wreck you. You have to see it from my point of view. I am not at the level these guys are at yet. To finally be doing well two or three weeks in a row is an accomplishment to the hard work I have put in to get better. To see that work ho from 1st to 10th in an instant is just too much to take.

So sorry guys for getting mad, but I feel that we should have not restarted. We never had before, why start now?

I was the one that "lagged out" on lap 3 which was actually my XBOX freezing (NON RESPONSIVE TO ANY INPUTS). I came back in to tell everyone what happened and did not expect a restart. After the HUGE delay we had starting with all of the lobby problems I did not expect a restart. But when a lot of people agreed I wasn't going to complain. I am sorry about what has happened to you and what happened during the race. It seemed like there was a lot of dirty racing tonight and flared tempers due to the delays and lack of courtesy.

I understand hard racing but some of the racers in room C need to know their limits as a racer and swallow their pride a bit and let other pass them if they are obviously slower. That would cure a lot of problems we are having.

I thought that after the hit, I was going to still be alright, even though I had 25% engine damage. I guess not really then.

Whatever, Apology Accepted

Well payback come on lap 14. I have to review it and see who clipped the wall and we met nose to nose.

Zambo367 and I had a meet on lap 14.



Me and TheManNowDog777


Just another

I have learned three very important things this week

One I did call xman a,Dick I don't care you can whine all day about it but the group as a whole voted. It was lap four not 14 and we had problems with the room all night. We all want to race. Not just you!!!!!!!! So if a group votes as a whole then it must be ok. And we have restarted for some crazy crap.

2. You took your self out in that turn. So even though we restarted you caused your own problems watch replay

3. Every week we get done all I hear is your bitching its getting old. Shit happens were grown men playing a video game for points. To me it sounds as your wasted energy on these rants could be used finding a safer place to live. I am sorry you were robbed but twice I would be moved already

So now your going to write this long rambling blog that I'm not going to read because I'm done with this subject The moral of the story shit happens!!!! As we say in the marines suck it the fuck up

THAT IS REALLY FUNNY! You dont know me or where I live. In fact, my area has been hit with about 72 break-ins in 2 weeks. That is not normal. Some sick fuck cant get a job I guess.

1. I am MOVING - which is why I should have just taken a prerace time. I have been broken into twice SINCE closing on my house - BUT I do have a job and have to move when I can.

2. HE left at lap four- WE restarted on LAP 6 - That is past 5 correct?

3. I SAID that I wrecked on lap two. We went into a turn three wide and my steering locked up after bouncing off of O351. We did not restart for that cluster that ALSO took out someone else that I bounced into.

4. My bitching is because I believe that we have said before in our rooms to guys that we did not restart after lap 5, which we did.

You dont have to listen to my "bitching". IF YOU READ BOTH POSTS, you will see that I APOLOGIZE for ranting and getting mad. I know that there were cars all fucked up behind me - THAT IS HOW I GOT SO FAR AHEAD. My issue is we restarted on lap 6.

I said it is what it is. IF you look at the times that I posted that stuff, it was AFTER the race WHEN I WAS STILL MAD. I have already said fuck it and moved on.

Maybe I would not have been so fucking mad if it was not nearly 9:00 pm before we actually got the damn race started, and then to have to KEEP restarting.

SO ONCE AGAIN - I am sorry for getting mad and ranting. It was the heat of the moment and I am sorry. How many times do I have to say I am sorry for getting mad. I just dont believe it was fair to restart on Lap 6, at nearly 9 o'clock. I am going to voice my opinion because that is what you, other Marines, my grandfather, all fought to keep secure. But you are damn right about me taking myself out. I called position, my wheel touched o351's door and the wheel locked up and sent me into a tire wall. Never ONCE did I deny that it happened that way or blame anyone else.

You may be a better driver than me - In fact - you guys probably are much better in many ways. I have been getting better the last few weeks and the combination of events since the ALPS have just been adding up.

ALPS - running 4th and ran into a wall by an exiting pit road guy that did not call. - WE CALL NOW THANK GOD!!!!
ROAD AMERICA - Running 5th in room when a unqualified car goes off track and comes back on and takes me AND another guy out.
Mugello - STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE AND FINISHED 4th in room
THIS WEEK - Leading and pulling away from 2nd when we restart on lap 6.

It all had built up until I could not take it anymore. I am actually good at this track - the only one that I know from these tracks so far, and I wanted to do well. Hence my anger toward the decision. BUT ONCE AGAIN - I am sorry for speaking my mind. It did not matter when we restarted either.

ON TO THE NEXT TRACK- Where I will sit quietly in my qualified room and just run around the track, since that is what I must do. Suck it the fuck up.

men My wifi adapter madcatz failed me at lap 7... I think I'm gonna buy the real wifi adapter... used or some thing cause its really sucks not be able to race just for that... but anyway Im catching up on next race...!

O351. glad you have a job and are moving out of that current situation
2. HE left at lap four- WE restarted on LAP 6 - That is past 5 correct?
O351. He rejoined the lobby on 5 and as a group decided to restart. It may have taken a lap for all to quit out.
3. I SAID that I wrecked on lap two. We went into a turn three wide and my steering locked up after bouncing off of O351. We did not restart for that cluster that ALSO took out someone else that I bounced into.
O351.after the lap 5 restart everyone agreed that no matter what there would be no more restarts....Just like you Im sure Zambo wanted a restart but we agreed as a whole.
O351. You were called a "Dick" because until I told you to Watch the replay on my store front you told any body who would listen that o351 ran you into the wall.(replay on my SF lap 2 the squared off hairpin near the drag strip.)
4. My bitching is because I believe that we have said before in our rooms to guys that we did not restart after lap 5, which we did.
O351. I believe this was mentioned in 2.

O351. pre-racing is you answer? is that because the AI don't call Bullshit? We all joined this series to race in non-public lobbies, against Live competitors. We don't need to take advantage of or abuse the Pre-race system!
Maybe I would not have been so fucking mad if it was not nearly 9:00 pm before we actually got the damn race started, and then to have to KEEP restarting.
O351.It was almost an hour late for all of us, not just you!

O351. I don't think anyone needs to apologize for being mad/ we did not restart on lap 6./ I assume your talking about "Freedom of Speech" so in reply to ranting like a madman just K.I.S.S.
You may be a better driver than me - In fact - you guys probably are much better in many ways. I have been getting better the last few weeks and the combination of events since the ALPS have just been adding up.
O351. Agreed you have been getting better. All week long in practice you turned faster laps then I...You are fast no lets work on you ENDURANCE.

I am good and I am over this. I have apologized to everyone I feel I need to apologize to and I am not even going to get started on this one again, except I never blamed o351! I told yall that I ran into a wall racing next to him and that my car was destroyed and would not turn. AND I was not called a dick for the wreck. I was called a dick for not wanting to restart again and arguing about it.
