I want to apologize to ucrdoh, we made contact halfway through the race which ruined his chances to win. At first it seemed there was enough room but i shouldn't have attempted that pass.

Also i want to apologize to the league in general for the restart requests. The first start it just spun me up into the wall. May have been due to lag, i saw cars bouncing back there on my screen. The 2nd restart my car wouldn't even go then it eventually spun. the 3rd and 4th it was completely fine so i don't know what the issue was, never had a situation like that before.

that's a bit drastic don't you think?

f. Restarts will only occur due to a grid or server issues.

i did have grid issues as i explained above. i have never called for a grid issue before in the past 2 seasons i raced here. As i explain again. On the 1st restart request a few cars were bouncing around at the back and when it started it just spun into the wall for no reason before i even got to the line..

the 2nd restart request the car never went..and then spun again for no reason..similar to what happened to osteo at pocono, sometimes if your on the bottom your car doesn't go it just stalls out from gird lock. it happened to me at ace last season. i went from 1st to last in turn 1 but didn't have the chance to call for a restart then.

again i have never called for a restart before till tonight as i was obviously having starting issues. i don't think i should have be penalized to last place, that's the most severe penalty I've ever seen given out and it wasn't even my fault. I wouldn't ask for a restart unless one was warranted.

Don it might be due to the first turn incident after the pacelap when you and 2 black cars were bouncing off of each other and almost took out half the field.

That was one crazy race lastnight :laughing

No its for requesting a grid problem. I was all the way on the bottom holding my line, those cars got into me going in that turn setting off that mess

Just so I understand everything correctly, what was the cause of farmboss' penalty? (I was too far behind to see anything, and I neglected to save the replay.)

farmboss - Starting the race in a higher position than permitted. - League Warning
- Started 6th instead of 7th as positioned

farmboss - Aggressive Pace Lap Driving - Lap 1 - League Warning
- Ramming and pushing Spike the entire pace lap.

farmboss - IV.3.b - Reckless Blocking (5 Victims) - Lap 2
- Attempted to block at least one car by moving towards the bottom of the track crowding and hitting another driver, pushing two drivers into each other resulting in 5 cars on the first race lap receiving damage and loosing the lead pack.
