Sharper's Rant & new series

New Series posted on facebook. Only members and fans of mach racing (on facebook) are allowed to join.

All events from here on are invite only. (Except, of course, machracing members)
I do NOT want this to get blown out of proportion. We are a small club, and I want to keep it that way. Random people signing up is not welcome. I know this comes off a bit harsh, but we have a good group of guys, we don't need more.

As posted on facebook, this is not up for debate. I am already quite frustrated knowing that every tuesday i'm racing for 3rd place. (no offense inspector and JP, you're just WAY better than me, i cant be mad about that.) A few other members have voiced their frustration as well, and I understand where they are coming from. (Think about giving up a night, or staying up late ..and feeling like you just wasted your time.)

These events have become quite tedious and redundant. Different car, different track .. but the same old outcome. It's getting old. Honestly, I look at the Facebook page and our website and think, .. why am i wasting my time.

bottom line, though, I do it cause i like hanging out with you guys.
so...this is my rant. sorry if anyone is confused by it, i know it's coming out of left field. but that's where my head is at.

---i'm sure some of you will have something to say ... tbh, i'm not in the mood to hear it. two choices, keep racing, or stop ... either way is fine, and i understand.

reading this and thinking deeply. i thought of something. btw sharper i fully understand wer you are coming from no offense taken . but to make it fair. anyone who is a champion or above should be placed in a slower (not to slow) car. for instace you lot have a car that has a PI number of 713 lyk the subru were currentkly racing and give us (i.e inspecter me an other champions) a car qiith a lower PI number. or in many cases, do what we done with the multi class event. and split us up accordinly. i would be really annouyed if i knew that winning wasnt an option which is why im seeing it from your point of view.

o yh i am looking to purchase the mr name soonish

UH OH, inspector's gonna be a MR! .. right on.

I like the idea of Multi-class. Honestly, I think that is the best way to split us up, and stil have us all playing together.

I also like the idea of 2 races (assuming we would have 12 or more) We could split up the top qualifying and the bottom qualifying evenly) and still have a cool race!

all idea's at this point. Glad to see you understand my point of view ... it's tough being the middle kid.

no your not being left out. your commenting on a post from over 2 weeks ago. We have since introduced 2 lobbies to accommodate up to 16 people.

Anyone with a Mr tag gets in . If there are over 16 people with Mr tags than the first 16 would be in.

Only in races that are limited to 8 will this be an issue.
I'll give people plenty of time to sign up. I should let everyone know i am posting and event before i post it .. to make it fair (first come first serve)

so, no, your not being left out. all is well at the moment. Like I said, this was a one-off rant after the night I denied Mr Fonts (one of the original 5) a spot in our event. (and btw, gave it to you mountie .. you should feel honored )

there should be 8 - 9 i would say who get preference, these being ;

Sharper
Bullet
Namdac
Writester
Killahurtz
JP Montoya
Inspector

Menonitefury (1 event i think)
Vertigo (2 or 3 events)

these are the ones who have turned up on a Tuesday night to take part. If any spaces are available then Mach Racing members get first refusal followed by Facebook friends of Mach Racing and so on ... .Our Tuesday night events are for fun only but you still have to be serious and committed enough to turn up.

agreed NAmdac.

I just saw that Bullet and Writester didn't sign up for the upcoming race ... there is only one spot left.

These may turn into Qualify rounds. Since we already do a qualifying ..... we could easily set up two rooms (if 10 sign up...then two rooms of 5)

Then we could eliminate the 2 lowest lap times. I think this is the fairest way to go about it. it may take a little longer .... (seeing that there would need to be a final qualify to order the grid)

-------and btw, i just went back and read my rant ... it seems a bit mean ... i didn't mean it to come off so angry ... but i stand by what i said.

As far as i know you have a space reserved for you anyway Bullet. I hope we get enough to run two qualies because then even those that don't make the required times (including myself here) then a tamdem race can be run - a team 1 and 2 scenario if you like. The winners can have a run off over a couple of laps to get an overall winner and a bonus couple of points. I hoping that when the clocks go back in a few weeks it will trigger the events to start at 10:30 and get a few more 'early bedders' lol involved.

funny, after my HUGE rant, i have an idea that may help the "uneven" races.

If anyone has friends that can make it to these events... and we can get 14-16 people racing, then we could easily have a "pro" and "Amateur" race on the same night.

The top 8 would be "pro" and the bottom 8 would be "Am".

SOOOOOOO, if you have anyone interested ..have them sign up at our facebook page (search Mach Racing 360) or have them come to www.machracing360.com and click on the facebook link.

Just a couple of pence worth aswell if the joining up to a race is tight,.. preference for those with "MR" tags. After all we paid extra to lend our GTs to the team, and as I remember it was rule 6 article 18.8c that:

"In order to be considered a valid member (section 12 article 14) you MUST purchase/upgrade to the MR gamertag for a steady relationship for within the team. Therein hereby therefore enjoyiing the race with fellow team counterparts. Ergo, which was, thereafter be involved by relationship of strong bond tied to therein which was before the grieveance with assigned other lender be's. Because!"

It's there anyway, for quick search, it's Chapter 12.7 of the diocese of the placators for special incredulence withholding a plethora of non negotiable entities for pursuit within thereby of said race track and accompanying vehicle (see "driving manual chapter 15.3, section 805, article 12 paragraph top left of the line below it")

Hope this helps.

By the way,.. I AM FUCKING WELL HOPING TO RACE TOMORROW! AND EVEN AS A "MAYBE" EXPECT A PARTING OF THE SLOTS UNLESS TAKEN UP BY 8 MR TAGS.

Hehe!

Herein lies my ode.
Thankyou.

@ Neuro, the only thing that could have made that more funny would have been to add . etcetera, etcetera at the end (in the tone Jean Wilder used in Willy Wonka. lol

Also, yes.. for now on (and since the Fonts incident) MR members will always have priority over everyone. It's our night and everyone else are guests .. that pretty much it.

Most of us "mr's" have been here since the start...
