Ya just HAD to put lap totals in didn't you?

You couldn't have mentioned my controller puked and I missed a whole heat of racing? And also that my dog ate my homework? And that my marshalling to win technique was superior to all others?

Sheesh.... what a crummy report....

Ouch Coach.... just... ouch.

Everything I have said is true, they're all cheats and liars! I stand by my excuses! Well, not too close to them, maybe back and a little to the left, but I am standing there within a reasonable proximity.

.....

Fine... I am not good. I must need a new controller. ;)

It all looks great but the best part is the use of Gulf Racing colors (blue and orange) on the drivers' stations. That be my favorite color scheme! :):):)

Mike- Great track, you must have overbought paint for painting your cars in Gulf colors!
Nice to see the whole family involved.
I like the subtle lane colors by the power rails, it keeps your track looking very clean and un-busy.
