Speaking of liveries, Poopshovel, how you liking that livery for the Fit I sent you?

Love it man!!! Thank you so much! I've had so little time to play I haven't put it on the car yet, but will definitely do it! It'd be a cool side by side photo op!!!

No worries man! If you did, I don't remember, and it obviously didn't put me off track. We raced clean all evening. I think we were close in practice too.

Stop the Fit on Fit violence!!! Jesus. I never even thought about a livery to promote my business! A horrible businessman am I!!! Sucks that as of last week, Windows live randomly decided they were just going to stop hosting websites, and my site is GONE (angry.)

Threw you a facebook like Nice work! You have a great eye!

If y'all REALLY want to sponsor a B Spec to promote your business, have I got a deal for you! There aren't many races left in the season though.

I believe I heard you say your business is in Blue Ridge. Out of shear curiosity, what is the name of it? Is it in downtown?

Poop, fire up the box, choose the menu for live ("Community"?), select "Storefront". Search storefronts by gamertag. Once my storefront shows up, go to "Replays", I think it's three or four clicks to the right.

Don't know who's updating points, but here's the finishing order (courtesy Poopshovel).

Hey, I shouldn't have to to it, right?..I ran the lobby!..and last time I played pointskeeper, I screwed it up.

I thought that was a good looking car..adds a dose of awesomesauce that it's your real business! I'm reconsidering my livery vote this week.

EDIT: Ransom, you're "Switchblade", right? If you didn't bring the Tampax car, I'm voting for this one..

Fried's pic only has the top 12 listed, cause that's all that will show up. I know I finished 14th, and we had two (Cesar and Stone) that got dropped during the race.

Haha. I use this username on lots of forums, and that's what everyone calls me. Snickering under their breath I'm sure...

Just went and did a 20 lapper with the Kia on Sebring Club against 11 A.I. cars, and turned a 1:21.943, with a little bit of damage. Got clobbered by a Mistubishi Eclipse right off the bat in turn one. 17% damage on the nose, 11% on the sides. I posted the replay to my storefront as "Forza 101"

I was goofing around with tire pressures and sway bar settings this morning and managed a 1:22.3XX, over 1/2 second faster than I qualified last night. I realized afterwards that I was on the default settings...not that it hurt me much. Still can't do a damn thing with the Kia! How do you do it racerfink?!

He has been the ringer IMO from the start. Tons of real and virtual seat time. The guy is a pro in my eyes.

Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves.

It helps that I've been racing on Sebring in real life for over 20 years. I KNOW where the fast line is there. You have to really throw the Kia into the corners and hope that it sticks when you get to the apex to get a good lap time out of it. Any course where you have slow corners, and it just doesn't accelerate out of them, though. While there were three corners I was using 2nd gear in last night, they're at the top of 2nd gear, so they're pretty fast corners.

Well, I gotta blink, but I can blink one eye at a time, so I got that going for me...

Man, I was biding time waiting for the crashes to get out of the way to catch up with at least mid pack from the end. Made pretty good moves through traffic as they went to mow the lawn, then bit by bit, little mistakes here and there and it was a fight to not be last again. I do not that my lap times get better and better though, but so do everyone else's!

I am still trying to figure out why only Bootsy's Mazda 2 out accelerates my Yaris. I have put both my cars on the drag strip made tire pressure changes, off idle changes in runs, and each and every time the Yaris is so much faster to the end of the track on a 1/2 mile drag. It totally out accelerates the Mazda 2 all day long from 2nd gear to the end, but on any race track, Bootsy is out accelerating me straight after straight. I can keep up with racerfink and everyone else on acceleration out of a corner at least until I make a mistake. Ah well, testing and tuning both cars to see which one I can get to really go fast. The Mazda 2 seems to corner a little better and get out of the corner from 2nd to 3rd, but the Yaris is quicker from 3rd to 4th and owns top end over everything to include the Fit(the Fit lost the 1/2 mile runs to the Yaris each time as well, but was darn close in the 1/4). Maybe I'll mess around with a Nissan and the Kia during the week, but also stick to practice with the Yaris since it is my regular racer...maybe tire pressures. I'll have to pull up the replay and telemetry to see what Bootsy's tricks are ;)
