Saguaro Trophy Truck

wow!!! what rollercoaster!!!
I never raced so hard on my life. Didnt have much time to practice but after 15 laps and some setup changes i was right on the leader second, so i was really confident going to qualy aand even more going to race(3th place) because i knew my setup would run all 17 laps and the guys in front were just faster and the ones behind were a couple tenths slower so no compettion was on my plans...kkkk.. but....

Just after the green light(qualy) a DISCO strikes and i lost whole qualy only being able to rejoint the server after the session was finished.ok at least i was on for racing..

Starting last I was expecting a top 10 finish. Great start and i was running 12 after T1 and over the BIG JUMP 4 WIDE uhuhhhhuhhh what adrenaline .. now BRAKE turn right step jump, quick turn left, another step jump, fast S and BANG!!!! damn i punted Waldow.(dunno if the punt rule was is place if yes i deserv +1 )
My clean race endup there.
Okay I was running 10 now and going to the fast S again after couple laps and BANG!!!!! I collected one driver parked sideways traped on the tyres marks. damn bad luck strikes again..
Ok my truck is one piece and im still on the race running 17 or 15 place now and than you check waht happened on the screeshot. BAD LUCK again.
I'm brazilian and i never give up! so i drove my truck to the pits and rejoind track 1 lap behind. Had fun trailing and passing MIKE G who endup crashing on the first step jump, but soon afer when i was going to the fast S BANG!!!!!! another hit...

Man... i think i collected every single driver who spun on that S today.

Glad to finish.

PS: I'll put some practice for next event and I promise(hope) to bring some hard competition to Tony and Jonh.

I HAD GOOD FUN FOR 1-2 LAPS, GOT SPUN AND GOT TIRE GOING FLAT. I pitted and maybe speed in pits, didnt think so so after damage repair i go around and do stop&go, 30mph and it said 50mph limit, half a lap and stop&go pops up again. 30mph again and 1/2 lap get stop&go!!! Now, i always think of Tims article i read several times... Dont comment when you are mad. Wait till you regroup then address it. Ok, i think all stop&go's should be disabled in truck race UNLESS its proven to work properly ALL the time. Thats the only thing that kept me from having a Great time. Seems like everyone is hauling ass out there, which is good, very fast and competitive. I had fun watching different drivers from pits, Oh and the Internet was really bad, almost everyone i watched was vanishing and coming back. I was switching cars and i dont remember anyone not disappearing. Oh, one more thing, i think Scott V. should get at least a mention cuz he got clobbered several times,(Internet) and kept going. He had 3-wheels on the last lap and still going! Good racing and determination Scott.

Well it was some kind of race.I started 4th to my surprise and got up to 3rd place soon as one driver pushed in one of the turns.I was running a very solid 3rd after just a few laps.Then wouldn't you know it i was so god dam nervous i spin coming down the straightaway in front of the pits.I loop it towards the starting tower and almost pass out from being so upset at myself.I then try to rejoin the field which at that time was probable just outside the top 5.All of a sudden bam,bang,boom i get clipped again and again.Im then on the other side of the track threw the finish line and heading up towards turn 1.I make a 2nd attempt to reenter the track this time not thinking clearly of how to go about it other then to get going ASAP and you guessed it once again 1 finale KA BANG....Well needless to say my nervousness was gone by now and so was the top 20 trucks.I then snuggled in to a nice groove and worked my A$$ off to get to the top 10.It was another learning experience and i will take some good things out of it.I did manage to stay on the lead lap even with a truck that by lap 3 or 4 was a big pile of dog shi*.I have to say i did also spin out once more on the front shot....LOL all in all i was proud of my top 10 as well as my new team.Team Think Again may be a big team but we have all sorts of talent and are starting to expand in players from across the world.Hope to see you all out in the buggies....Until next race ...Slideways out....
