Just so you all know, the planned 5 hour trip turned into a 9 hour adventure, the truck pulling a 4 ton trailer was having some engine and tranny trouble, for about 100 miles or so, did 20mph on a 70mph freeway a few times, and didn't get back till about 9pm EST. Even if I was able to make it back in time, I'm not sure if I'd make the entirety of the race without taking myself out in a wall and DNFing.
Hope the racing is close and clean.

I want to thank those who made it to tonight's race. I know Sedona is not a favorite track of many. Myself included. But that is the reason why I included it into the schedule. I think when you like a track or anything in life, people are more apt to put more effort in or care more about the event or result. So with a track that most don't like was like a kind of gut check to see who would dig in and practice more, do more to improve or just go through the motions.
Anyway, the race seemed to be pretty good. A room started off good. We had season 7 champion rejoin the series and immediately showcased that the rest of us are mere mortals by starting from 8th and within a few laps had moved to P1 and proceeded to pull away and win his first race back.
I have viewed A room replay and the write up will be up tomorrow evening. I will review B room tomorrow also. I HAVE HEARD of a potentially serious issue in B from. Once I review the replay it will be handled appropriately.
So far overall it was a good race.

It was a terrible race. The only reason it was close at the beginning is because you were all over the track and we couldn't pass you without wrecking you.
People aren't going to show up or practice for something they don't want to do. Couldn't have cared less what happened tonight.

Speak four yourself PrOnebird. If there is something I have to do I always put my best effort in. If I don't like it I may still dislike it, but if the result is reflective of me I don't do anything half heartedly. That's MY philosophy. You have yours. I just don't think you can speak for everyone.
Watch the replay I was not all over the track.

My main complaint with this track is how unrealistic it is. I don't understand why turn 10 couldn't look at all the oval tracks in America and come up with something a little more believable.
for example: New Hampshire Motor Speedway

I think if it wasnt for the hills leading up to the oval the track would be far more believable. but overall the track isnt that bad, it has a really interesting feel to it. its a very very tough track to pass on, at last in my mind. it was difficult for me to safely maneuver around tommy and my teammates. the racing was close for a while but then things spread out. I really want a podium, probably wont happen at Indy but Infineon, well who knows

I like sedona, at least the part out side of the speedway. The oval track reminds me of Texas motor speedway in the way that the banking in the turns falls off before the turn ends and it makes you slide out and hit the wall on corner exit.

I spent about half an hour wondering "I have gone there, a lot. Why have i never actually seen that road track?" Then it dawned on me, it was being used as camper parking. lol Whoopsie. Sedona isnt too bad, it just took some getting used to.
Edit: Lol I dont know what i spent more time thinking about, New Hampshire ^^^ or what the heck Boosted's sig mean? "how 2 Viper" "waffle named Toby" lol so lost o.o
And Roscoe, on the super bright side, you have Indy next race and to quote you "Sweet Jesus yes!" were your exact words lmao.

Gambit and I had a great race going. We were trading tenths of a second back and forth for about half of that race. I tried to pit early to maybe get some clear track to catch up the gap he had on me but then he pitted a lap after I did! Had a bad outlap because of Dan and his of a car. LOL. Don't take that personally. I nearly passed him after he passed me in the infield. A few mistakes on my part and a few more costly ones from Gambit allowed me to catch up. Surprisingly I didn't crash at turn 1 like I thought I would although there were some really close calls where I hit the wall but didn't get damage.
C$R with its first win of the year

However, the whole time you were back there, you were ruining a BlackxxRavenxx's race. You could've ended it by overtaking him, but instead you chose to annoy him, which is totally uncalled for. If you hated this track so much, you shouldn't have raced it or taken it out on another bloke.
