Default SON OF A @!#&*!

I had a race this weekend all was well Saturday, I line up on the grid in pole and was able to take the win, Sunday on the other hand…… started out good, I got pole again. then we get called out to the grid as I walked over to get on the bike, I notice my tire warmers were on the tires, but NOT plugged in! cold as hell, spent 2 laps trying not to get run over and finished in 4th …what sucked is that coasted me any championship hopes I had for the year!

try slicks on wet floor and doing the fastst lap of the race as is drying out and/or rains of dry floor and got 3rd fastst lap of the race too

it sucks to have only one set of wheels when the weather is against you but i manage to get 3rd in both races.

Are you drunk typing? I'm having a hard time fallowing you here man!


Okay, tell me if this sound right: you had slicks on in the rain, and as it dried out you got the fastest lap?,

then the sun came out and your were like all ” fu*k it!. I’m put on some rains, and show these b!tches what’s up” and you got the 3rd fastest lap? This about how it went down?

Good point. Didn't consider the front!
