Yes that was me. I also realized I forgot to get your name when we left.

It was nice to meet both of you.

I liked the event. I thought the road course was alot better than wall speedway.But it seems like I'm one of the few.

Although I didn't agree with some of the judging.

I'm with Nism0, I like this one because its more technical and that long beginning lets them get into the first turn at a high speed and a nice burn
