I thought I had an issue with time zones ^^

Thanks again all for an enjoyable evening (or night for me!). Some good battles and this track is really good as it's short and quick and encourages closer racing.

Felt good to have A Lobby pace... too bad I couldn't do it in qualifying and actually make A Lobby.

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Fri 26 Aug 2016 - 16:35

Good Racing Everyone. Best of Luck in your Future races.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 5:10

Congrats GR1M RACER on the Drivers Championship and HCR No Room for the teams Championship.

by **Diablo 29x** Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 15:06

Congrats to Grim Racer on his championship, well done to stick it out even though pretty much everyone was seemingly out to get you last night!

Nothing really went my way the last half of the season, so I guess better luck to me next time around.

by ROSCOEpCOTRAIN Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 15:24

Congratulations Grimm, and no room \m/

Great series Mikey ....
P.s. I BEAT DIABLO Wink

by **Diablo 29x** Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 15:59

I wouldn't call it beating me. You lucked into 2nd because I lagged out at Road Atlanta and you had to bring in a ringer by way of Moe to gain points. You beat me on track at Sebring because you blocked me and ran me off the road 3-4 times, not to mention cutting across the track in the Esses when we made contact to maintain your position. My replay didn't go long enough into the race to show this happening, so I had no evidence to submit an SI and I didn't want to waste the stewards time.

You don't deserve 2nd place but congrats on taking advantage of the rules and my misfortune in the last 2 races.

by Foreu2env Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 16:15

Way to go Gr1m, you're a champion and you better thank your wireless router too! I'm glad I hammered you with messages and asked Rabidus to ask you to join up as well, it was a pleasure racing on your team lol It's a shame I missed a few weeks when I was in the hospital, otherwise I think we may have been able to make the Team Standings podium as well.

Hopefully you join a few more series and hopefully I get to race on your team again at some point! Congrats again!

Good job grimm, good use of the rules roscoe.

I'm sure you wouldn't call it that...but I did... my stream shows the whole story sporto. ..and was up for your use if you wanted to si me.
Sour grapes can make wine who knew... funny I didn't here you say anything when others had subs...odd anyway have a grape day lol

by **Diablo 29x** Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 18:09

Your stream from that doesn't tell the whole story. You use hood view which mean it's rather difficult to see around you. The coverage from your stream was inconclusive. Even when you pushed me wide multiple times in T2 at Sebring, you can't see my car because it's behind the POV of your camera angle, therefore it did nothing to prove my case. Had I been running a stream, I would've sent an SI because I run 3rd person and you have greater visibility of the entire track. I've been a steward before and I'm not going to send in an SI I know that'll come back as insufficient evidence.

I didn't realize subs were scoring full points until after Harmonic raced, and even then it was no use complaining since it's written into the rules and they aren't going to change them midway through the series. It was available for everyone to use, so, nothing really to do about it there. I hope it does get changed for future series but that's a staff decision.

However, gloating because you beat someone on technicalities, terrible driving etiquette, and their misfortune? That says a lot, and frankly I'm not surprised that you're proud of doing all that. I am sour grapes about it, you're right, absolutely, but rightfully so. I'm sure you and JH Nemechek would be great pals.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 9 Sep 2016 - 18:25

^ and ^^ Guys, keep it civil please. Not saying it isn't, just don't escalate, OK?

@ Diablo, that sub rule was all on me for cut and pasting from a very old and outdated set of rules. I did a pisspoor job of proofreading it, and literally had no idea it even existed until after it was first exploited week two or three into the series. Even then, I was VERY disappointed in myself for letting it slip, and VERY pi--ed at the member that exploited it.

I have no dog in this fight, but as an outsider I can say that when I saw Roscoe's comment about beating Diablo, which ended with a winking smiley face.. My impression was that Roscoe was implying that he was proud of finishing ahead of you, even though it maybe wasnt 100% deserved (hence winky face)... It almost came across as more of an endorsement that Diablo is a great driver.. I didnt at all get the impressiom that it was gloating...

And again to be clear, I have no insight into the histroy between you 2 and I'm not friends with either of u either... Just offering my outsiders view of the post

He put a winking smiley there because he saw that I tweeted about him blocking me during the Sebring round and thinks that it's funny he happened to beat me then and in the overall points. He's a forum troll that causes arguments wherever he goes. I normally don't bother responding to his useless banter because he hardly (if ever?) has anything positive to add to any conversation.

What upsets me here is that Roscoe COULD very well have raced last night; in fact he was watching the stream of the race via Raceboy's twitch feed, and I know this because he was in the chat. HCR and Ax4x had subs because drivers were away for the night. What Roscoe did goes COMPLETELY against the spirit of the rule which Mikey pointed out was an oversight as is.

But again, coming from Roscoe, I'm not surprised he would resort to those tactics.
