| I am filing an official complaint about tonight's race, particulary with the cause of the final yellow flag with 5 to go. |

Conclusion:
Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia. Someone stands a good chance of attracting the wrong attention.

Well put Steve. I never thought that I'd see anything like that happen. I though that there was a mutual respect amongst everyone in this series. Well, I was proven wrong. My trust and respect were insulted, as was I personally. Never again will I allow that to be done to me and my Team again.
Sim racing is supposed to be all about fun, not screwing other partcipants over.
I will be keeping that situation in the back of my head for next season. |

I second Ghost's post 100 percent.
It is good to have you whiners in the series though. You keep things interesting. |

First off...I am not whining. I am posting my opinion that someone hand hand grenaded an engine on purpose to bring out a yellow. I found that to be very disprespectful...again, my own opinion. I was suspicous of it when it happened, and looked at the replay. When someone goes into the pits in 4th gear, then comes out and stays in 3rd with the RPMs pegged, they are intentionally trying to blow up!...again, my opinion.
Yes, you have a really great team. I am not knocking anyone's abilities in that respect.
And as far as "keeping it interesting"? I do not recall in my time at Piggz, weather it be back a few years ago when I ran full time or the handful of races that I have run recently where I ever "pushed up" into other drivers as they were trying to get a run passed me and put them into the wall. It has happened at lot over the last 3 racs that I've run.
I've submitted my evidence to the admins for review as far as the manufactured caution.
But regardless, I am done racing here. It is not what it used to be where drivers respected eachother on the track. I am not going to play these on track games and be disrespectful of the competetion, or tell anyone to "F-off". I'm beyond that level of immaturity. I don't like the game that is being played where someone gets a run in the outside, and all of a sudden finds themselves being pushed out of line and into the wall. So, you all can have fun "keeping it interesting" and bring out artificial cautions. |

| I think you need to send me this alleged self distraction. Why would I intentionally blow up and loose my 2 nd place standing in the points. I love my team mates but not to that extent. There is no need to reply to this forum because I will not be reading it ever again. SHOW ME THE PROOF and stop spreading lies and rumors. Put up a video on utube or shut the he'll up. |

| OK guys, I have something I have to share with you. DON'T TRUST WHAT YOU SEE IN REPLAYS. When I first viewed the replay from the cockpit of the 835 "Ghost" car, I agreed with Slayer, but then I went back and viewed the replay from the cockpit of other cars in the race and found that 4 of the 8 cars running showed to be running in 3rd gear. Including myself, and I KNOW FOR A FACT that I was in 4th. I checked my own replay and it shows me running in 4th as it should have. Ghost blew up because he added tape in the hope of beating ME and holding onto 2nd in points. I hope this clears up THIS issue and we can look forward to next season. |

| Just to add my two cents...when the caution flew myself rick and jeff had a huge lead on everyone else if i recall just about everyone was either a lap down or close to it so if anything the caution helped everyone but myself rick and jeff. So i would suggest that before people go running off on wild goose chases and being basically whiners and poor sports you at least understand the situation your complaining about. |

As far as WARPERS and Whiners go... I have officially hung my butt out to dry for a long time.
I won't be racing online again until I get a Broadband connection.
I am tired of my WARP and disconnects and most likely everyone else.
It's time for me to bite the bullet.
Just remember WHO... one of your best competitors WAS.
" While the CAT's away, the mice will play ".
Knock yourselves out.
Broadband for me won't be until at least 1 year from now.... if at all.
Boogie Boogie!!!

| ok wasnt there but i put it like this allstar race has went under caution last 10 laps for like first four years because someone always trys to put on that extra tape, i thought something was funny too cause i had big leads in all them races, but no one is like that here. i can see someone spinning you if they are mad though and most times no one will hit you on purpose. i have raced on and off with these guys for 6 years now and this is most respectful group i been with. |

Yo Jr!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live on a mountain ridge in the Northern Adirondack Mountains of New York... which is about 50 miles north of the Lake Placid Olympic Center.
I have to travel down 6 miles of sloping terrain to reach the main road. I am at about 1500ft elevation. That isn't much compared to the Rockies, but it's 500ft higher than the Empire State Building. Ever looked down from the top of the Empire State Building?
This definately AIN'T the city or suburbs bro.
They call this "God's Country". Sooner or later God is gonna need to use the internet. Maybe then I will get Broadband?
My nearest neighbor is 1/3 of a mile away. It is so freakin quiet up here... you can hear a Bear poop in the woods.
