  1. Chadwick "decided" you weren't welcome because when you subbed for a driver in Season 1, you drove the truck full speed into a wall.

    Come on Mark, give him a break for that. He was new to the site, he didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know it was a budget league. He was just filling in for Damian because he wanted to compete. You, Chadwick, and I were doing the officiating that night, and I will admit, I was very irritated with him after it happened. But he messaged me afterwards and apologized for it because he didn't know and didn't understand, and I'm pretty sure I brought that up to both you and Chadwick.

    Now that's how you end a league. Congrats to Johan for the racing and over-all points title, and Julio for finally getting his freestyle title. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has helped Danny out since season 1. SSRS has definitely been one of the premier leagues to be a part of, and I'm very thankful for everyone who has put time and effort into making this the best league that it could possibly be.

  3. My mom got me McDonald's tonight, and I got Blue Thunder...

     

    *sniff* *sniff* It's... It's... it's just SO SAD... to get a truck... of a team... that's DEAD... because two of it's most awesome drivers.... are DEAD... *sniff*

     

    *singing* And if, they fall, to death, tonight...

     

    it can be assumed...

     

    their every days, with us, are in history,

     

    in short their team's truck... is dooooooooooommed.

     

    *sniff* *bursts into tears* BLAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

     

    In case if you don't know where this is from, I made up my own lyrics to the sad song that Timon and Pumbaa sing during "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from The Lion King.

    I don't mean to be rude, but that's something I would say if my girlfriend drugged me, like at prom.

  4. They could have the potential to be tightened up a bit, maybe changing up the valving a hair too to change the flow of the shock during compression, but just having one shock per corner alone is already asking for trouble, and by making them too soft, you'll be hitting the bump stops on every hit and your back will feel the jolt when you land. If he has gas bump stops, it might be a little more comfortable.

    But how long would that actually last him? It would just be easier to convert to the conventional nitrogen set-up like 99% of other teams.

  5. Honestly to me the shocks looked set up too soft.  It looked like they traveled the full length of the shaft on each hit, which is normally good, but not when the smallest hit is less than 10 ft. of air and the biggest is at least 20 ft.  That is what takes a toll on the driver and equipment.  But concrete also is extremely hard on trucks, there is absolutely no give in the ground beneath the truck.

     

    Also it did look like his rear brake rotor was having some malfunction.  It looked like it was sticking slightly, sparks when the truck gets on the brakes is normal, but not when it is accelerating on the straightaways

    They have to be set up too soft, because there is only a single shock per corner with a single bypass; If he had it set up any stiffer, they would explode out from under him.

  6. It's because of the zip folder system. Take the zip out of packs or vehicles, run the game, wait for the cache to regenerate, and extract the files from the zip to the vehicles folder, and run the game again. Now, every time you download a new truck, just put the zip in the folder.
