I would like to take part in round 2.
I would like to bow out of round 2… I’m starting a new Univeristy degree and I’ll be very busy soon 
Bring it on! Can’t wait for round two, better ramp up the difficulty. 
I say bring it! I’ll be looking forward to something creative and quirky that pushes me in a different direction.
I really like the competition and I feel that even failure in these challenges leaves the participant a winner as you can only push yourself so far… I can’t wait to see what happens and if I can I’ll see if I can do the challenges myself (without ursurping the challenged party!) so that I can continue learning as well as helping to keep this thread alive 
I just kinda forgot about the thread, so I didn’t put anything up.
I will do round 2.
I’m in, again. 
I’m in again, too. Bring it on, guys 
I don’t see why I shouldn’t do this. Looked through all of them from start to finish, so it only makes sense
I’m in!
I’m in, let’s do this!
Defs in for it again,this was fun!

Sorry about the delay in randomizing the order list. Let’s get this started!
np1993, care to re-issue your last challenge to our new first participant, Chipskate?
Are you ready Chipskate?
It’s the early 2000’s and the streets are your playground. You are a mechanics apprentice by trade and street racer by night. You however are in a tricky situation, you have had a good run, you have beat cars that you have no business beating, you are a shaggy haired poorly dressed version of the Stig. You have been enjoying the street rep, however the cops have you in their sights and are you are desperately looking for a way out. A local mob bosses son, Rocko has called you out and wants to race for the title ‘king of the streets.’ Rocko drives a generic hatchback with v-tech yo and a few bells and whistles, your car could eat it for breakfast 6 ways to Sunday. The mob boss knows this and has made you an offer you can’t refuse. You must lose to Rocko and he will give you $30,000.00, however you must make it look like a legitimate race. Rocko would be very, very upset if he knew his dad paid you off. You are set to race Rocko at the automation test track, the don rented the track out for the evening, afraid of little Rocko wrapping his hatchback around a hydro pole if he actually raced on the streets.
You drive a heavily modified 2001 Domestic Sedan with a 4.5l transversally mounted v8, a 5 speed tranny and its tuned moderately well. It has big brakes, a decent suspension, a kickin’ sound system, and according to your boyz, the exhaust sounds sick! Its your pride and joy, you have been sinking paychecks into this bad boy for 3 years. It can run a 2:33:50 on the automation test track.
Rocko Drives a 1996 Generic Hatch and it is not pretty. It has a 156hp 2.0l I4 with mad v-tech yo! It is capable of a 2:38:41, a whopping 5 seconds slower then your speed machine.
There are two ways you can go about this challenge. You can detune your car OR upgrade Rockos car, the don had some cronies sneak Rockos car to your garage while Rocko is out shooting a self-produced music video called “money, bitches and machine guns” and gave you a check for $1000.00 to tune up the Generic Hatch.
You MUST lose the race, but only by a 0:00:50 margin, you want to go down with pride and make it look legitimate.
Option 1: Detune your car, you have too much pride to just ‘drive slower’.

I wasn’t exactly sure what you meant by “half a second margin”, so I aimed for a target time of 2:33 dead, which wasn’t too much of a problem.
I’ll have my challenge ready in a bit, just need to think of something.
