Now that I am home and can post again, just want to put in my response to the speak of sandbaging. Sorry to post max, but my name was brought up and I just want everyone to know that despite being called out for it, my times were known well in advance of the race last night. I ran my first sub 28 second on Friday in the open practice. Nothing was said of the lap time. Then saturday I made sure to run again and ran another 27. Once again nothing was said of my car being too fast. After asking Stalker and Squid all weekend what I needed to do, I was told I was fine. Sunday, I spoke to stalker directly and he said that bulin was still a second faster that I was and he didnt know what he would do about his build. That was the last I spoke to anyone until race time on race day. So, yes I am glad i won but i am also kindof upset that it has turned into such a controversy and i am being called, more or less, a cheat, when i did my part and followed protocol. I dont know why i was allowed to run those times and others who broke the 28s were held back but i was up front and never deceived anyone about what times i was running.

again sorry to bring this touchy subject back up but i have a right to defend myself after being called out. My lap times had been there since friday before raceday. Not hours before race start like the other accused.

P.S. Roscoe, glad to see you still think you can outrun me See you at Ladera brother.

No body said cheating... Just discrepancy
And I can sister

It's a tough task to balance a very diverse field of cars with different skilled drivers.  I believe it was a good showing, still more to do, we knew that from the start.  GTS has a full season of development on the GT cars, and it showed by how close they ran.  We just ask that you bear with us as adjustments are made and the field balances out a little more for some fun, competitive racing.

It is a very difficult task and it has been done amazing thus far. I'm sure it'll only get closer. Really looking forward to this season. Woot! I am back!

I can vouch for GTS being incredibly good racing, some of the best i can remember in a long time. if they can get that after only one season there's no reason why GT won't be the same come mid season.

What the heck is your new avatar? It is hilarious.

some mentalist from a cooking show here, pulls the most ridiculous faces. that is how the man judges food. it's fantastic.

Looks very entertaining.

Like Max said its not easy to balance a field of 2 seperate classes with driver abilities all over the map. I have been fortunate enough to have everyone from NSA and F4RR lend a hand in getting all this right. Squid, Manuel, Moe, Hired & Roscoe are giving me feedback and assisting with build changes to help get it right. Even the guys I have not had much racing experience with like Piihb, Bulin, Sainted have been more than willing to run the changes that I have prescribed and I really do appreciate it.

One aspect that is hard to overcome is driver adaptation. I have watched probably 6 or 7 drivers take my build changes and throw it right back in my face when they run the same exact times as they did before the changes! I watched a GTS driver start in the high 32's less than a week ago and eventually pull a sub 31 by the time racing was done.

Like Max said, it will only get better from here. I appreciate everyone and their work that they have put in. I do apologize if I have mis-lead anyone regarding their build, that is by-far not my intention, but please do not fret on what the other guy is running. With everyone we have involved, it will work out.

PS: Manuel is the man, thanks for posting up the pics of the finish race order, it helps out a ton.

Great pics oddball

+1

that ass though on the camaro good pics oddball

thanks guys, not my best though, it's a hard track to get the settings right on. I have to say though all the cars look amazing, the detail on stalkers mustang, simciks dodge and dirty and jp's cars particularly stood out to me. great looking field.

Thanks! I'd like to get some pic myself, but I forgot to save the replays - doh! Guess I'll grab some next week.

Whoever has the gt race replays could you send them to me? Bulin and I had some great racing during both rounds.

Ill be out of town this weekend and i wont be home until sometime monday. I'm 99% sure make the race though.
