Dedo · April 5, 2020, 9:03pm

Thanks guys, good fun!
@Bimodal_Rocket @KartingIsLife @E13 and who was the 5th driver with us?

KartingIsLife · April 5, 2020, 9:40pm

I think it was @Aaron_Hachmeister_13.
Controller batteries died so that was the end of my run and it was time to fire up the grill anyway.

Thanks for arranging it.

E13 · April 5, 2020, 10:05pm

It was lots of fun being shoved around my cars twice my size

KartingIsLife · April 5, 2020, 10:35pm

How many MPH were we able to add?

E13 · April 5, 2020, 11:35pm

A solid 10mph. Gained about half a second on that one straight

Bimodal_Rocket · April 5, 2020, 11:40pm

Thanks Dan and everyone else!

Stuff’s getting real…

By the way, I’d like to point out that there’s is a definite learning curve in Sim that is distinct from IRL driving. It is not a given you will kick butt immediately. It takes time to understand what ffb is telling you. Yes its a crash-fest initially, it always is.

KartingIsLife · April 6, 2020, 6:57pm

I saw that!! Crazy huh.
Wonder if I would have lost my sponsor after my controller batteries died on Sunday

Bimodal_Rocket · April 6, 2020, 7:00pm

James, its time for new blood on the team. Well be replacing you with a trained otter.

He’s very wealthy.

Dedo · April 6, 2020, 9:20pm

@Bimodal_Rocket @KartingIsLife
James, before rage quitting, and losing your sponsor. Have a back-up plan.

Bimodal_Rocket · April 6, 2020, 9:32pm

@Dedo Nah, he’s just gonna send it.

This man knows how to pull a starter.

Bimodal_Rocket · April 8, 2020, 5:20pm

NikG · April 8, 2020, 9:31pm

I would of got fired in my first race and I didn’t even quit

Dedo · April 8, 2020, 10:24pm

@KartingIsLife @Bimodal_Rocket @E13 @Aaron_Hachmeister_13

KartingIsLife · April 8, 2020, 10:24pm
