Drag Racing Challenge ROUND 13: 3 Cylinders Light Weight Sport Budget! Deadline 15/11/2016

Well that’s convenient considering I have 60hp on your most powerful entry.

It doesn’t seem in the spirit of the competition or the forum in general that the participants have to pay for your lack of time management.

Poorly run.

@Darkshine5 Your take on things, if you will please.

look, it’s not going anywhere, and i’ve had things going on in the real world that have prevented me from being on top of things. so i’m sorry for that.

this is not some conspiracy against you. i am not out to get you. i am following the rules laid down for the task, and your car failed them. i myself have been DQ’d for an illegal car before, so you’re not a pariah at all.

I respect the time it takes for you to fill the position of racemaster. I’m fully aware it takes far more of your time then it does us to make an entry.

That being said I do not agree with your decision in this round. I stated quite clearly in my PM that the drivability will be off by 0.1 on my build and that was because beta was not saving my suspension changes correctly. I asked if it was an issue that you let me know.

I sent that 10 days ago and received no further correspondence except in this public forum, now.

I couldn’t care less about being a pariah or not - fact of the matter is, yes my car failed on the original specs but I was not made aware nor was I given an oppurtunity to resubmit as per the the Challenge Host’s rules. I see this as an irony that my entry was regarded to break the rules, yet here the racemaster sits - breaking rules.

Thus stands my formal complaint.

well you also failed reliability, so there is another thing.

but, i cannot be the one to make entries legal. thats not my job. my job is to scrutinize and run them. thats my job.

so, if you cannot make a legal entry for whatever reason, don’t enter. there is always next round.

so, i’m not going to reconsider yours as you knowingly submitted an illegal car. thats final. if you don’t like it, there is always anoter time.

4 clicks on a slider and the car is ‘legal.’

Catchas next round.

What?
Just watch Frozen and let it go…

LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I do agree with @Spool at some points, since it is in the rules and it’s not the first time it happens, last round we had a similar problem to deal with. I think that the best solution would give 48h to the disqualified players to fix the problem, but I agree with you, @JohnWaldock, when you say that it has been to much time after the deadline and I do know that it takes a lot more of time to be the race master. So I would really like to read @Darkshine5’s opinion about this mess before any decision is made.

Look at the picture I posted of my truck the reliability is 71.3 how did I fail reliability?

Continuing the discussion from Drag Racing Challenge ROUND 9: 2010 BADASS TRUCKS deadline 26/8/16:

it’s 68.5 for me.

Is it possible you don’t have all the mods so some vent might be missing?

That can be…

i’ve double checked, i have all steam born vents

@Nomade0013 sent me what i can only assume is a prototype, and idk about @one85db

I’ll check it in 2h and 30min when I get home.

with yours, i ramped up the cooling and it was ok, but you sent me it without the bottom grille, so it was DOA when i got it.

I’m pretty sure I have never take the bottom grille out. I downloaded this one really recently from Steam, so if you could check if you really have it I would really appreciat that.

Edit: if I’m not wrong, this is the link to it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=497688126&searchtext=indent

I’m going to delete my local copy of my truck and reload it from the file I sent you to be sure.

Yeah, I reloaded the file and it’s still 71.3 Avg. Reliability. It’s not on my end, it is yours.

I have all the grilles, and all the most recent stuff. i may be lax in time, but not in content.

@one85db well then idk, it’s 68.4 down here.

Alright, take a picture of my truck and send it to me, perhaps I can see what is missing.
I need the front and the sides.

@JohnWaldock and @one85db you’re running stable or beta version? Maybe that’s why it is having a difference.
