I'm hoping thats what happens but I have a feeling I'm going to get edged out, I had a few bobbles that cost me a lap.

How long after this series is over will the two winter series begin?
PISS ON SPEEDWAY!
I choked big time.
Could not stay away from the AI's to save my life and I should have never tried to make the whole race without a pit. I was thinking about it the whole time and it changed the way I raced. Ran out of fuel in the first run before the race was over. I was at 32 laps so I hit space to pit and it just ended the race instead of putting me in the pits. If it had, I would have gotten 33 laps and called it good for now. As it was I just went ahead and raced again and proceeded to crash 4 times in the first minute. I hammered the esc key in frustration when I should have just spent the rest of the race going for the fast lap. STUPID! I as so pissed I ran my last race and of course trying to just take it easy. Was doing well until a crashed AI pulled in front of me and spun me. I would have made it to 34 if it wasn't for that. Probably not though since I once again ran out of fuel. This time I was able to coast across the line at least. I only took one real shot at the fast lap which wasn't good enough. The rest of the race was spend just trying to stay clean.
This race could very well have cost me my shot at the Championship. Pete sitting pretty and Randy has the fast lap right behind me. It's really up to Randy now. He can close the coffin door on me if he can beat Pete.
On the bright side, this race has shaped up to be exactly what I wanted it to be as far as competition. We may very well have our first rookie 1st place finish!

I just downloaded all 3.
I don't know buddy,Pete's run is hard to beat. I still have to pit and 33 is all I'm getting in practice. This could be an interesting finish in this race.
I thought you already had them?
Do you have these tracks Randy?
Halifax
Boss Speed
Lostallo
I just went to get them and somehow I already have Halifax.
Now I have an extra track credit.

Do/did I? Maybe thats why I was able to download them without buying anything. I know they werent in my track list, maybe I just hadnt downloaded them yet after getting them. I thought I used my credits towards something else but I guess not, I can't remember.
Boss Speed is the only 1 of the 3 I have so far.
Something is not right boys.
When I set up the season I used the track list that is shown to me on the Club homepage. I can see how many people has what tracks.
I used every track we all had.
Now I notice that Messina is no longer listed and I don't have it in my track file within VRC either.
How about the rest of you?
That track is 2 races away and if we don't have it, I need to put in a different track.
I could put in Boss Speed if Pete is the fourth person that has it? Otherwise I will just used Kakegawa since it was the first road course.
Let me know Pete.

I have Messina,I downloaded it when I saw it in the lineup for the series. I don't think I was charged a credit for it.
I just downlaoded Boss Speed so that will be fine for me but I do still have Messina.
It was the same for me, just download them. I think we were given three track credits when we signed up.

I checked and still have 2 credits so Messina was free for me.
