    Well, Phantom818 had to bail on his room because he couldn't connect, and so I took his place. And, well, there was some crashing that involved me. First of all, I would like to apologize to those I crashed. Second of all, I would like to in some small way explain what happened.

    For the most part, the incidents were due to my vehicle being sufficiently out of control that I could not avoid the contact. In two particular cases I can think of (the endurance race start, for example), I turned just a smidge too early, hit the wall, which spun me into a position where the person behind me could not avoid contact.

    This does not excuse my actions, I know, but I did want those involved to know that I did not intend to cause such damage, and will attempt to avoid such in the future.

    I was not in your room Hapes, BUT I can really respect someone who admits they made a mistake.

    I am glad to race aginst people like you, and to be honest. If I had been in your room, and you crashed me.... I will admit I would fly off the handle. I am competative by nature, but afterwards would cool down and just enjoy the race.

    Don't get me wrong I have made my mistakes as well (everyone does).

    I am glad to have people like you in the league.

    Cheers homie!

    I added a link to your post.. To show How lucky you are..lol.. Spin out, then get hit back into position..lol..

    Hapes.. Believe me.. There's no reason for you to be too hard on yourself..

    I have to say that I thought it was hilarious and if anybody thought you were really out to wreck anybody, then A) they havent raced with you that much at all, and know youre Class, B) They might be too competitive to be in the beta room..lol..

    even though i finished Last in one race, i had a great time tonight..

    the bump at the end of Suzuka by Jman and Notyme's Crash on the straightaway was classic..lol

    Nice job Hapes...everybody already thinks the blue team is out to get them. :mrgreen: In all seriousness why don't we just turn collisions off to keep everybody happy? Then it would really come down to who can put together the 5 fastest laps.

    because part of racing is avoiding the other guy..lol..

    There's no issue..

    Hapes was just apologizing and we're giving him a good ribbing..

    I was glad when he got into the room to replace Phantom.. And i still feel the same way after the mayhem.. I had a great time tonight.. !!!

    Death to Hapes I was on the end of most of those crashes and the first one I was on my way to my best finish ever Third place.:razz: It was a good time driving a dead car to the end. Bump you next time Hapes nothing like being on the b team. Sorry about the Rainbow but I had promised a friend that I would show him TDU stuff shoot you next time. Yes be hard on your self and just pull off the road and let me pass next time.

    Last night was fun. I have no idea what happened in the last race. One by one, it said that you guys dropped from the room. However, maybe it was me that actually was dropped. I do know that my car was hard to handle. Nosice...man, what can I say. I felt so bad during the Suzuka race...I couldn't control that car through the turns and sometimes the straight aways and you ended up being the recipient of that ....so....I just didn't have to heart to pass you in the end, even though I had enough car to do so, therefore....I rammed you across the finish line! AND from my perspective...IT WAS AWESOME! LOL!

    Hey guys, sorry I couldn't connect. I was so amped to race, because I just love that Saturday casual room and racing with all you guys. I'm very pleased I was able to contact Hapes (and that most of my team was actually on at the time) to race in my place. He's a great competitor and I'm glad you all are having fun with this. That's what I love about casual racers. Although we are from different teams we share the common bond of having fun and occasionally horribly wrecking :-D! I'm sure I'll be able to race with some of you guys again. Glad you had fun.

    I'm still upset from the endurance race, I had that track down and get taken out before the first turn, then on top of it, I dont get a magical 180 that puts me back in 3rd place... how did that happen every single time you were in a crash?
