That looks epic!

I ran a dozen laps or so tonight and got into the mid 24's. I'll be on again 2moro.

50/50 on being here tonight

I would have been sending out notifications on the EZT StockHatch gamertag but I don't remember the password for the gamertag. When I attempt to log in to the gamertag, the password is requested as part of a tighter authentication process.

That's going to be a huge problem for a lot of people when the new dashboard update comes out, there's loads of people that don't know there xbox live passwords. Everytime a new update for the beta comes out I have to put in my password

I agree!!

I may race. Still have family over

Really enjoyed that. It's such a tough track in front wheel drive cars but really pleased with my result.

Sorry i missed this one guys. Had to do some RL stuff.See you next week.

You were missed, Bud!

It was an exciting race last night in lobby 2, which turned out to be the EZT vs DFWW lobby. I never expected to be on the pole so that was a bit of a surprise. We also had Virality in the room starting at the back. I had a good start off the line and led into turn 1. I had Sargio right behind knocking on the door (literally) until he made a mistake on lap 3 and fell back. I was then able to build up a comfortable lead while the rest of the pack was fighting amongst themselves.

Virality made an early pit stop to get some clean air and began to work his way thru the field. I made my pit stop on lap 12 and came out behind Virality and Big Daddy Ken, who hadn't stopped yet. When Ken made his pit stop, I moved up to 2nd.

After that I was able to keep a steady gap to Ken until five laps from the end when I made a mistake in turn 1 and Ken got through. Then two laps from the end, Ken made a mistake and I closed up right behind him. Starting the last lap I was thinking of making a move into turn 1, but I wasn't quite close enough. Then I made a slight mistake in the chicane and that was that.

Congrats to Virality on the win, and congrats to BDK for a well deserved 2nd place!

I'm not sure which is worse...starting last and finishing last or starting higher and finishing last.

During qualifying last night, I uncertified Lap 4 while coming around onto the Start/Finish straight enroute to a 25.2xx. While I would have started higher on the grid, based on the other mistakes made later in the actual race, there's no guarantee my finishing postion would not have been what it was. Though, had I not locked up the brakes two of three consecutive laps going into T1, I probably could have given Strum a run for his money at the end given the finishing times (difference of 0.330 seconds behind him).

The race was great, though (save the mistakes, of course ). I was on Boss Hamster's bumper (literally a few times ) for a good while. I made a mistake and fell back but was able to catch up. Then I made the mistakes mentioned above that placed a good distance between Boss and I. They were ones I never really overcame.

I had fun. Wish i had more time to practice but it was a blast fighting through an entire field of minis. Thanks guys

Sorry for the delay, Guys! Will have the points and standings updated very soon (before Sunday's race).
