Still nothing about AMs... I'm beginning to think they aren't going to do them...

If you keep being negative about it, then they definitely won't. The guys at rF already give up a shit load of their own personal time that could be used for much else to put on these races and nobody's grateful; then everyone wonders why there's not a host for AM's...I'm no pro at sim, but even I realize how much time is really put into the races. I've spent more time on my team's skins than I would like to talk about, so I get why they wouldn't want to host the AM races for a group of mostly ungrateful assholes.

Yeah but either announce that it will start later or say no if you dont have the time so some one else could have planned to do a series. This seems to happen a lot lately. Then someone down the road host a half ass series cause they had no time to prepare. Im not saying that what you said is wrong because it is the truth but a little more communication to the ams would be nice.

[GKSracing104]

but a little more communication to the ams would be nice.

I agree completely. Still, a thank you to the rF guys every once in a while might entice them to run AM's a bit more

Also not using terms such as "majority" in a negative light might entice them as well...when 1, 2 or maybe even 3 people make a negative comment all of a sudden its said that the "majority" are "ungrateful" when in reality the "majority" haven't said a word negatively or ungratefully and are patiently waiting. So the question is, what's worse, the original comment that seems a possibly ungrateful or the reply that insinuates that the majority are ungrateful? I say its about even.

I do agree it would be nice to have any information at this point, even if it's "we're working on it".

ATTENTION RACE FANS: Round 1 of the 2015 Tagger Designs Amateur National Series will be held this Monday, 18:00 Pacific. The 2015 Tagger Designs Amateur National Series is a sibling of the Motosport Outdoor Nationals presented by One Industries. If you participated in either of the 250 class motos in the Motosport Series, you are ineligible to participate in the amateur event. However, if you rode the consolation race in the PRO event but did not qualify for the motos, you are eligible for the AM event.

Qualifying is open this round. This MAY change going forward.

The race date will be Monday, 18:00 for Round 1. MOST LIKELY, this will be the same for rounds 2 and 3. After Round 3, the race day will MOST LIKELY move to Sunday, either 17:00 or 18:00 Pacific.

Something to argue about on the off day:

Due to some recent events at Round 1 of the nationals, we are going to start policing lagging riders a little bit (I'm not, but someone will for me ). We will start treating lag takeouts as intentional hits. Obviously, this will be difficult for some riders, since lag is not really something you can control. However, it is unfair to the rest of the field to have people running through them on the start, without penalty (cue Root posting the gyazo of O'Hagen on the start...). If you're lag is as bad as it is, and you know it, you need to be extremely careful when riding near people, especially when everyone is bunched up on the start.

Ready, FIGHT!

Another example of something that really sucks about lag...
