Cain, we had a fantastic race at Suzuka and I'd be happy to race you anywhere. I don't agree that you missed the race, you should have been in. Everyone is missing my point here.

I would like people to stop complaining about the way these comps are run is all. If you have an issue bring it to the admin team not the general public. It's a shame you missed the race but no one out here can do anything about it. PM the admin team, don't "VENT" in the public section because you will get replies you don't like to read. The TORA team do a wonderful job here running a large comp with not much help from the members. I for one thank them and the times things have gone wrong for me I've PM'd the team and always had a response.

I don't think there is a single person on this site I've had an issue with so I'm sorry if you think I lack compassion, that is not the impression most people get of me however, I can get on my high horse from time to time. I'll say sorry for getting your back up but my point is still valid, if you have an issue PM the admins, don't spam the boards and then get upset that someone replied...

I understand your point and I didn't get upset at your reply...I didn't get upset at all. I didnt even blow my lid when I got into the room and saw three laps down. I sat there watching the race with my mouth shut. My only issue with your response was that you seemingly looked past all the facts I raised and just pulled out the same "stop complaining" response. These are public forums and what happened to me Sunday shouldn't have to happen to anyone else again. That was the whole reason for bringing it to the forum. To get other drivers thoughts and to make clear that there IS IN FACT a designated start time for races if all qualifying entrants aren't in the room.

I do appreciate your more neutral response. I meant nothing personal with my recent comments...I tend to drive my points home a little deeper than needed sometimes. Having said that...lobby hosts of all people really do need to have an over and above amount of compassion for other drivers. I'm sure there's many others like myself who greatly look forward to all these races and it sucks big wrinkly balls when we miss one especially when we're there.

No hard feeling to anyone including CQR AERO. Again...mostly, MOSTLY my fault.
