Oh-! whats that i hear? Confusion? Questions? Possibly Groans and the silly sound of people slapping their faces with the palm of their hands? maybe the thump of a desk or two as Surface top meets Face? well i'll tell you.
Welcome to my little Corner of Entertainment in the Art of Racing And I, you're Gracious New Racing Director, who's name does not matter but will answer to the name of 'Black Cat', is here to extend this offer to everyone of you who wants to put the pedal to the metal and see how fast that puppy of yours can go.

whats that I hear? some kinda of Racket coming from a big old tub of metal? Sounds to me like a Noise complaint that needs to get filed, but first what do we have here?, a Captain with out an ounce of consideration, oh the humanity... its such a tragedy i might just name the next Course after them.
alas this is one of those Fight or Flight moments, you speak of "nonsense" and "fighting for a good cause" but it is you my dear amigo who speaks of Nonsense for if only you had the capability to understand the importance of my work and what it is i bring to them, the cause i "fight for" is but Entertainment, if people are not entertained they are not happy and that makes for poor conversation, I pity you, you sad sad man.
now if you don't have any Registrations forms to Submit and Craft to Sign up then please move along and out of the way so that so that more important things other then having to watch as you embarrass yourself can be done.

Well it proved to be as fun as I hoped!
However, the course you laid out is quite the nasty mean little thing.
I got bounced around a bit in the Badlands.
The guncam logs from my run are included in the attachments.
Pretty sure I didn't qualify, this run.
