Looks like yours is bigger than mine worm.... Jeep I mean...

It's been awful to do that transmission. They have it crammed in there where you have to get the back of it under something and the front lip over the exhaust. I took the exhaust loose and the weld had rusted through just past the tail pipe and it broke. I'm just going to put a turn down behind the muffler. I am not trying to reroute the exhaust out of the back and over the rear sway bar.

Glad to see good reports from the race. I practiced quite a bit and was doing well. Really wanted to run this one.

Frustrating night for myself, didn't manage to get a good qualifying lap in and the time i did get, i was lucky to get in on the very last lap. Im sure like everyone else, people come here to have good clean close racing, and anything but can become quite frustrating.

Race 1 , I did have some good battles with CQR Magic, so my night wasn't a total loss. Although i must apologise to Magic and daniel because at times, trying to navigate around the track while avoiding a lagging car caused a big bunch up with awkward lines. I wasn't to happy about an incident in the first half of the race were mopar made a mistake just before bridge and sharply occupied the racing line again, nearly causing an accident. This along with lag nearly made me pull out before race 2. I just couldn't race it was that bad.

Race 2 seen me get damage straight away when mopar's car lagged back into me, race was pretty much over.

I know lag is just a part of racing online these days and comes in a variety of forms, so i won't hold to much of a grudge.

Looking forward to germany anyway, hopefully will be a better round.

Me and Bob (Bob Dixon) were just stuck together like glue fighting for the lead over both the races, I think we both needed to lay down after the first race let alone the second!  

SI's raised but I'm not happy that I have to do it for jump starts, I'm sorry to all concerned however the rules are very clear and I don't think this should be ignored the rules do state...

A “jump” start will also incur the 5 place penalty so be very careful when starting as this can be checked very accurately in the replay, there is no leeway.
