THIS WAS A DISASTER FROM THE START!!!!!!! everyone wants to win this race on the FIRST lap!!! People need to understand that you cant go FOUR WIDE from the drop of he green flag. Give and Take is what this is about. ITS A MARATHON NOT A SPRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very unfortunate that YOUR RACE WAS A DISASTER There was a reason why I had put all the FSCS drivers in one room.(mistake I guess). While I took the room with all the rookies. Its funny to think that you guys were worried about the rookies ruining the race for you and the only incident in lobby 2 was some rubbing between 2 racers on lap 20.

***EDIT***
My whole point to my scathe was, restarts were available, there were empty slots in room 2, and if 1 racer had substantial lag issues, there were ways to get around these problems rather the wearing your emotions on your sleeve for all to see. Or in this point for any new racer to read that from your perspective "THIS WAS A DISASTER FROM THE START!"

I said nothing about being worried about "rookies" racing around me. i have no problem racing around veterans. I have no problem racing around anyone. Yes my race was a disaster but you have to understand my frustration. I was taken out of the race on lap 2, no chance for a restart because of the "no restart after lap 1" rule which i completely agreed with and the series was well constructed. $h!t happens i guess. my comment was made just after i was taken out and i apologize for the frustration that i displayed publicly.

well iraceaquad and myself were very unprepared! We both just bought the car at 9:30pm slapped a 5 min tune and a 5 min livery on it hahahha... and it showed in the race to say the least. Next race cant come soon enough.

I'm finally catching up on everything here. Thanks o351 for the great opportunity to run in this. It was a blast! Even though I started in the back and had to avoid a few wrecks on my way to the front, I had a great race. Congrats to sniper on the victory. I wish I could have started at the front, we would have had an incredible battle for the win. I ended up16 sec back when I finally got second place and stayed that distance until I hit a d@mn twinky. But then I help exactly 30 sec. That would have been a great 20 lap battled had I started up there with you. Next week should be great. I can't wait.

Video of the near miss on lap one! That lag spike almost took me out! Had to pit and went to last place because of a missed shift right after the pass but I pushed hard and fought my way back up to 3rd over all! Great racing fellas! Thanks O351 for putting on a great event.

Tried to upload image...no luck

So this race was a lot of fun but when are we doing this at the ring? I'm looking forward to that...

The race at the ring is coming up SOON, you gonna RACE it?!

I am gonna try to make that one. I got so tied up in this series that I stopped enjoying it and started getting way to serious. I had to take a break from it. Its not worth doing it if I'm not longer doing it for fun. But the ring is always fun so I will most definitely be running there.

Our second race is quickly approaching. 50 LAPS ROAD AMERICA Saturday June 30th 7pm pst.

I look forward to seeing everyone then and remember, NO Car changes. You must run the same car thought the series.

New registrations are open again so if you know a driver who want's to run send him our way .

Road America had 16 drivers turn out for a epic battle at this historic track in Elkhart Lake, USA.

The Fords were fast last night, guess NAT/lag problems just wouldn't let them be.

All in all, it was a good race for the 18 laps I was in it! We had a group of 4 or 5 guys racing together at one point.

Sorry I had to miss this one. I like that track and I bet it was a good race. Guess I'll see everyone at the next one.

I am out of the race on the 7th. I am running a tough mudder and will not be back in time. Have a great race guys!

I will not be there as well that week. I will be on vacation. Tough mudder is hardcore man. Good luck sam

Since this race falls when so many are on vacation and out of town with family, why don't we run it next weekend? Just hold off a week so everyone can run?

I am probably running the Tough Mudder here in Vegas. I got challenged by a friend of mine who was in the Army 101 so I gotta shut him up. It's in October I think. I started training for it last month.

Train? Who trains? I am a Marine, that is all the training I need!

With a week off from FSCS, I would also like to take a break from any racing. Laguna Seca will be held JULY 21 7pm pst. See you all then.
