Didn't we agree on not using wind? Or at least high wind? I wrote a whole rant about it images/smilies/tongue.gif

Also, what about that new formula bmw, maybe we should squeeze one race with it somewhere?

nobody has a preference of where the FBM race should go? either make it the last race, or stick it in the middle somewhere.

Make it the first race.
I have been lately racing a lot in the FBM and I think it could give me a slight advantage images/smilies/wink.gif

It's fine with me if we make it the 1st, I'd also suggest the new SO track so we have a brand new combo.

All the information about the newest season, which is starting in one (1) week from tomorrow, January 19th, can be found here.

We would love to see some old and new faces this coming season, to make the racing even more fun.

And if you have any questions, you can contact me by either PM or email on the forum, and I would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Sorry, but I suck too much at LFS. I always get bored and start crashing for no reason too. images/smilies/lol.gif

I will try to attend a few this season, I firmly decided to not join a team persay, but I would like to participate. I guess I am too much of a lone wolf (puppy, really) to adhere to a team.

Jay, it's not like our "team" has strict rules or regulations. Same goes for our races, so of course the more participants we have the better. images/smilies/wink.gif
