Post me as a DQ as I forgot to tank up to the minimum fuel requirement.

Doni did I had a magnet on my rear end? 
On last but one lap I thought you were behind me as Pribluda said, so I tried to race you. Now I checked replay and you was lost by the server crossing s/f line at the end of 9 lap and lost a lap.
Frustrating race with all those sand traps, I was stuck on the sand three times, lost about one minute to restart, if I had reset first time I could have avoided two pass by Claudio e David

Still no electricity here. 

Looks as though you had a fun race. I was all ready to go in the Chap2F and was lapping in the 1:22s so I was hoping for some points.

All I want now is some hot water and some light. Hope to see you on Sun in the 67s.

Hi, Fulvio.  Very sorry for the contact down in the British Colonial Loop off the start as I was completely bewildered by the field dashing away and you passing me.  I was sure that we were looking at a roller start with the race not starting until the we exited the Loop.  In fact, I swear that I saw an illustration in an early race posting announcement that pictured this.  Am I dreaming?  At one point in the race as I was chasing down Bot, I saw that my pit board was showing me way down the field for some reason.  I had clipped a polo in Prince George Corner and spun.  I thought perhaps that my spin had put me out of bounds and that I missed a checkpoint.  Late in the race, I came up on this white GT40...as I don't use Pribluda, I had no idea whom was at the wheel...and was a little confused as to why he was giving me such a hard time in letting me through to resume my assault on Bot.  I can now understand why you didn't give way thinking it was for position.  Of course, I bungled yet again and we had contact for a second time.  My bad.

My result should be adjusted to have me finish behind Bot but in truth, as I had failed to add the fuel ballast, I'm looking at a DQ.  For instances of this lapse in the future, perhaps rather than outright disqualification, the moderator should add a time penalty.  One minute seems about right.

Here's a little FYI for you F10/Chase view users...

There is a move afoot at the Repository...the source for all GPL mods...to outlaw this 'arcade' participation by removing the feature from the executable or providing a patch that must be used to join a server.  Better get used to using the cockpit view, lads.  I, for one, cannot fathom anything but using the cockpit view.
