TOPIC:

Just wanted to say sorry for the heat race tonight. I watched the replay a few times and yes I did get you about 3 times but it was only because when I would run off a little too easy into the turn me and JW would get together a little so I tried a few times runnin off deeper with you and all 3 of us would be bumper to bumper, me and JW would touch and I would go up into you. I apologize for all that and the last bit of contact when I got into your door was when we went 3 wide into the turn, JW almost in the grass door to door with me and you were in the middle lane of the turn which made me and you rub entering. I was gonna give you the spot if I finished ahead of you but apparently its not how it went down lol...sorry again

P.S. All in all it was a fun show and it was nice to make the A-main first night back even though Starnes wheel or controller came unhooked when I was passin him on the outside and it made his car turn up and kill me which gave me a black flag 3 laps in, so I stayed out and finished 10th lol...Thanks VLR for the awesome show on a racey track, and thanks for havin' me

Thanks Woods. I watched replay of you and Starnes after because I read what you guys wrote in the chat and it looked pretty bad. I think his thing did come unplugged (I hope) because his wheels didn't turn and then after he was smashed into the wall too they finally turned away. And then I think he waited up for you a few laps later, which made me think it probably was an accident.

Its no prob, at first I thought he was gettin me back cause at the start we all bunched up into turn 3 and I tapped him a little but lifted, didn't really mess him up. I know when wheels or controllers come unhooked it will hold your car wide open if you were on the gas at the time of it and you car will take off to the right, so I know it was an accident, just didnt think it at the time

people always go off before they even know what happened...i don't take people out during a league race unless they absolutely deserve it. i can't help that my wheel came unplugged from the computer that is why i basicly parked and waited on everyone to go back around me because it was truely an accident.

Yep your right, but don't sit here and act like you don't go off with your gun half cocked either, just sayin'

Woods had good reason to believe it was intentional though. Earlier in the day you were talking about how you were going to take him out and you took Karl out on purpose in the hot laps. So when you have a history of doing it and threaten to do it, and something happens in the race that looks like it, people are gonna assume you did it on purpose even if you didn't just based on stuff you've said/done before. Makes sense

np woods its just over the last 6 mnths the driving has gotten alot worse on here. And instead of passing clean they just knock you outta the way. alot of it is new guys they get on here and they are fast and everyone tells them they are fast and they are more worried about gettting to the front than being clean. If they would take the time to have control over their car this would not be a problem. Its all racing and good fun. But no fun wen u get run over night after night. And im sticking to wat i said last night im done racing till it cleans up ill come back then until then yall have fun.

I think this rough driving lately correlates to all the newer tracks that are being built. Track makers have made alot of very slick tracks lately, that are hard to drive, and hard to stop when you overdrive a corner, which means u plow into the guy above you. I love these tracks, keep making them like this, but this is what your gonna get with these slick tracks(rough driving).

I said the same thing to shock and the only reply i get is they are racey. I dont consider one groove with no grip racey at all. Racey in my book is a track with 2 grooves that u can run sbs for lap after lap. the reason we all stayed on this game instead of rf was because the racing was better. but now we are trying to change the racing to almost like rf. super slick and 1 groove. go bak to the way it was tracks with 2 grooves and close finishes.

You can't expect to get a decent response from VLR_Shock. Look at his fkn tag, it tells all. He didn't become boss of the most corrupt team in history by being forthcoming and honest.

I literally LOF'LD at that

And boohoo, a DIRT track is slick, who knew!! Columbus 2k12 is racey as fk and also the slickest on the game probably. If you can't control your car or have throttle control that's your own problems

There's always been slick tracks. So Deer Creek 2k12 is slick and a couple other recent tracks which I'm not sure which ones that would be, but the tracks aren't any slicker overall than the earlier ones we've made

Really it just depends on the track. My first time on Deer Creek before the race I spun out almost instantly. All we need is guys to try to practice following somebody instead of trying to pass somebody right away.



On the green of whatever race, I'm going to try to pick off one or 2 spots right then and there, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Then after that, I'll settle in behind whoevers infront of me and ride behind them until I feel I can pass them. If I know I'm faster than them right now and I can see the cars ahead pulling away, I'll start trying to make some moves without knocking them clear off the track. We need more drivers with this mentality. Not "go go go now now now". It does actually pay off to wait a little bit.


Now after saying this, my next race will probably make me look like a big hipocrit, but each race and track is different.

Yeah your right J, being patient does pay off but if its a main event and your starting deep in the field for some reason, you really don't have time to wait if you got people like Wheel, Shock, and BW starting in the front, a bunch of very fast consistent guys whom if you wait too long to pass a slower guy then they have pretty much done pulled off and you can't catch them..theres 2 sides to that I guess lol

Yeah your right J, being patient can pay off sometimes but lets just say you have to transfer to the Main through a B-main and you have Shock, Wheel, BW and some of the other real fast consistent guys making up the front rows, if your too patient trying to pass a slower car then your pretty much out of contention for the win cause those guys 95% of the time probably have already drove away from the field..I guess theres 2 sides to that lol

I've actually been in the position before with people like Shock, Wheel and BW in a B main. If its the top 2 transfering, you just fight your way to 4th and hope two of them wreck each other. Otherwise you're just going to be battling for 4th unless you start close enough to tag along in their draft. I'm speaking in the terms of those upper lower class guys. The ones that aren't always last but aren't always in the A main.

Yeah I see what your saying, I was just happy to make the A-main my first time back since the Rodeo finale last season, I might have transferred from the heat if me and Blaze hadn't got a little heated on the track lol, but hey I'll take it anyway I can get it and I hate that Starnes wheel came unhooked in the 3rd lap cause it caused me to get black flagged so I just ran it anyways to get some more seat time back in. As Jim said after the B-main "Great way to shake off the rust Woods" lol

Great race last night blaze at farmer city you sure whipped some ass including mine and geislers, i woulda been pissed to finish 2nd behind geisler.. thank god you showed lol ahahahahah
