Maybe things were different for others last night but its so easy to bitch about aggressive driving so Parcells is going to applaud last evening's awesome and clean racing against every one Parcells came up against which was half of the field. Special shout out to Oldschool who provided most of my entertainment as we battled for at least half of the race that was awesome. What made it more entertaining and difficult is there was probably only 2-3 turns we took the same way LOL. Oldschool took it well when I was forced to adopt what Parcells learned in Michael Schumacher's school of defensive driving techniques and in the end I had to use Jedi mind tricks to get by him, sorry bout that bud, but not sorry ha ha ha
Minor shout out to Snappy for our awesome 2.5 lap battle ending with a 100% side by side pass on the last turn, that was special. But I suppose not too surprising he is after all a genlemanly racer so I've heard and maybe a good person to suck up to. Parcells would never stoop that low.
Not sure if I'll see you next week stupid Nordschleife track....grumble grumble

Thanks Parcells. That was good fun and you made a textbook pass to get by me. I knew who I was racing as you started to close in on me. With that in mind my priority was to be predictable. I don't ever like to just give up the position so I did defend. I chose to take the inside line coming into corners and did my best to control the car under acceleration so as not to push out and possibly come into contact with you. I thought it was a good example of clean racing and lots of fun.
I plan to be there, but my mic wire has an intermittent connection (new one on order arrives Tuesday). I'll be able to hear you guys, but you won't hear me (that may be a desired side effect, huh? )
Can you send me the tune please Grim, so I can use it with my paint? See you tonight. Now, it's off to the links... Don't mean to rub it in guys (ok, maybe just a little ), but it is a beautiful 77 (F) fall day here in Florida. The next 6 months is why I endure the 95+ 70+% humidity summer days....
Tonight marked the final race of the Lotus Silver Cup Championship. Congrats to Tony for the convincing win tonight at "The Ring". Well done Tony.
Tonight we also crowned our newest series champion as Xsitement took the Silver Cup Championship with strong finishes in the final races of the season. Congrats to Snappy and Tony for rounding out the top three in a very close battle in the standings.
I want to thank everyone who participated in the series.
Thanks Grim for putting together a series that allowed mid pack drivers like myself to race up front with the faster guys like Snappy ,Tony, and Big Dad by giving them extra weight in their car slowing them down. Thanks Max (MPR) for providing awesome tunes, also a big help in keeping the racing close.
@xxsitement - congrats for winning the Silver Cup series - well deserved
@Grim - thanks for creating and running the series - it was a lot of fun

If Parcells had any consistency to his technique, he would have went down early, but it was not to be...
We did run a lap in the cars at Nurb afterwards and they are a freaking dream to handle there. Absolutely great.
Race Day!
Final race of the season where the series championship will be decided. I'll have the tune in the garage shortly. Hope to see you there
