I had loads of fun tonight.
Got into a decent battle with Chris and Dale. Was trying to figure out if I could get passed Dale and where, when I made a little error in braking going into the Chase, got in the grass and then I was no longer driving, popped out right in front of Dale and spun us both, sorry about that dale.
But I got the worst of it, as I spun nearly to the outside wall.
Spent the rest of the race just trying to hang on to what I had.

Congrats Jeff on the win!! You ran a perfect race and a well deserve win bud. Also congrats to everybody who finished the race, cause that was a hard race. The race started out great for me, but then went down hill on lap 17 going into the chase  After that it was Jeff's race to lose. I thought I had a good chance to win it once Jason went off. I figured I would put it in cruise control and save the tires. I had 12 second lead over Jeff at one point, but then he started chipping away at my lead. I was ok with that hoping he would burn his tires up trying catch me but it ended up being me cooking the tires at the chase. Apologies to Ed, I should of backed off while we were going into the chase. Thanks Jason for giving me 2nd place back  BTW watch out for Jeff now, I think it clicked for him on this track and he has this mod figured out.  |

Live Racers has messed up again, it shows Dale won the race. I saw that. They just did an update the other day, so I'll have to check to see if they released a new plugin. |

First I want to apologize to Dave and Kurt for crashing into them. Secondly I would like to apologize for my crap attitude. I really enjoy racing with you guys and appreciate everything this club does and I will try to step up and bring a bad attitude. Every screw up I had at this race was self inflicted and I have nothing but respect for everybody here. Thanks for putting on this race and I will see you guys for the next one. Jimmy "DNF" Regan.  Not a problem Jimmy. I know you have had some tough luck so far, but you have really good pace and I have no doubt it will start coming together. |

The most frustrating part is that I do it to myself. I can't blame somebody for punting me, or divebombing me to make a pass, I just screw myself. I just need more practice and don't have the time right now for it. But I am not giving up, too much money invested |

Sorry I couldn't make it last night, Ive been battling a nasty flu-cold (thankfully no hacking cough so far) since Sunday and running the shop solo as the other manager is even sicker. Been going to bed right after dinner for days now, it really pisses me off as I NEVER get sick usually. See you all next time out hopefully.

Great video. After watching it I feel much better (still feel bad about crashing Kurt and Dave) and at least I wasn't the only one causing havoc out there. |

Great video Jason, very entertaining. This track is a real ball breaker that seems to be specially designed for big f#%k ups yet most people still love it (myself included).

Looks like I need to try harder to take out Hawks when I decide to give it a go. |

Thanks guys. Spent last night putting it together. Worked hard on getting the timing down and am really happy with how it turned out. I re-uploaded it as I made a slight change (video started stuttering on the clip following TenBear down Skyline).
Plenty of good clips to choose from in this one. My favorite has to be where Bear is airborn on the slow-mo shot. Just a split second, but worked perfect to the music.

Looks like good 'ol YouTube is blocking the video in some countries. Uploaded it on Vimeo as well.
