• AbuRaf70
  Felicitaciones al Maestro Ayrton por su nuevo triunfo... Felicitaciones a Duplode y BJoe por sus 2do y 3er lugar y además, por sus replays con el Indy
• Bonzai Joe
  Great performance by you also, Abu! And it looks like Ayrton is back...
• Bonzai Joe
  :-O I can't believe we missed AbuRaf's power gear way...
• Bonzai Joe
  And I am in love with Ayrton's loop jump...
• Bonzai Joe
  Antti: do NOT use the Ferrari on this track ;-) it has 9% bonus.
• Overdrijf
  I like being 9th in the overall standings, too bad it won't last too long...
• Overdrijf
  And sorry about the spam, but I just have to brag about being in the lead right now.
• CTG
  Only to force myself to make a serious lap later in this month...
• CTG
  Dstien is good!
• Duplode
  One must admit Ayrton's loop solution was just brilliant. I love that kind of trick...

Mar 2

• A bit late I'd like to congratulate to the winner of ZCT92 - Ayrton. Just when we were stuck in the middle of a couple of Speedgates he came and shook the scoreboard with the long-time neglected Indy - but in the end he won with a wonderful and unique Ferrari loop trick.
  Members of Cork's Crew, Duplode and Bonzai Joe came on the second and third place with the Indy, followed by CTG on the fourth place with the formerly suspected car of the month - the Speedgate. I'd also like to highlight AbuRaf's replays on the 5th place - it contains some surprise tricks.
  No newbie could make it above the 9th place - so we can state Airborn was a hard battle. A great driver announced his retirement - Mark L. Rivers, but in exchange Chulk made a long-awaited reappearance on the board...
  So that was our quest for the cold and short February, and now we're off on the road on the new track: Crossworld. The proper car remains a mystery as of now... so sit in one of them you like, and enjoy the race!
• Pavekiller
  Computer problems in the last weeks again :S Nothing works, hate it... Don't know when I will be back again, maybe not until the C94 or C95.
• CTG
  Haven't checked the Z92 replays, I'm not interested in them.
• Bonzai Joe
  Great news :-) Then if Ayrton's tricks will be needed on another track, DD and I will know them, and you won't.
• CTG
  Ayrton's tricks = 100 hours RH, I won't miss them as I race less.
• CTG
  bloody car
• Duplode
  On the other hand, AbuRaf's lap has an useful little trick that would take about 100 seconds to do... =)
• CTG
  I don't care... and I'm stupid to start another race when I declared a break. So break - from now.
• Friker
  Ive seen replays and.. hm.. i knew that ayrtons way could work but i was too lazy and i expected that he gains powergear at the first corkscrew.. anyway i was able to do 2 secs better time but i was too lazy.. maybe next time. CTG: wtf? another retirement?

Mar 3

• CTG
  Nope, just a short period without/with less racing. Few months or so.
• Overdrijf
  Lol, the graphical scoreboard thinks Aburaf and I are about 74.3 seconds behind.
• Bonzai Joe
  Guys! Remember there's another competition running - slightly easier and more cozy than Zakstunts, and with next deadline on March 8! Unskilled Stunts: "http://stunts.hu/unskilled"

Mar 4

• CTG
  Thanks for the ad! And yes, only 4.5 days are left, come on!!! Track is easy and it's quite a fun too... I'll kill Akoss if he makes a crappy track again for next race.

Mar 5

• CTG
  Is there anybody to make a milliseconds war show?
• CTG
  DAMN IT, I wanted to send a slower one... :-S
• Overdrijf
  I am winning only milliseconds here, but I'm whole leagues behind you, which is in a way an achievement, since I am driving and you're on a break.
• CTG
  I AM on break - who said it's a fresh lap? Break doesn't mean I can't hide my previous results...
• Bonzai Joe
  Well that wraps it up for the Jaguar. Ayrton better watch out, CTG is extremely dangerous when he's "not racing" :-) We only miss his announcement of "I will only be 7th or 8th this month", then we will know this could be the month when Ayrton's streak falls.
• Bonzai Joe
  Overdrijf: are you sure you are driving your replay from the beginning? That's the only way you have a chance :-)
• Overdrijf
  I'm doing something close to the beginning, but not something as big as you seem to be suggesting I should be doing. I have been playing arround with something more spectacular, but I don't think that's gonna yield much more than even more spectecular crashes too. It was fun though...
• Overdrijf
  I probably should also try switching to the other IMSA or the speedgate, might find myself half a second there...

Mar 6

• Zak McKracken
  thats what we call a listfiller
• CTG
  Zak will be under 1:00 at the end.

Mar 7

• CTG
  Zak: don't keep it back, take the lead!

Mar 8

• SuperBrian
  Just a crappy testreplay to remain active evn though I got no internet..

Mar 9

• Friker
  very nice track
• Overdrijf
  is it allright if I start hating that countach by now?
• Friker
  why? i like countach..
• Overdrijf
  On the bright side, I'm still the 3rd fastest person around the track, sort of.

Mar 10

• satanziege
  Hm, multiway... that costs time :-)
• satanziege
  One more day in top 10 4u pitman... :-)
• Duplode
  The graphical scoreboard looks cute right now... but let me twist it a bit
• Overdrijf
  The skyline, didn't even think of that one yet...
• Pitman
  by the way: are there any news concerning the adopt-a-team approach? in other words: are we adopted?
• Zak McKracken
  you're adopted! Register in the forum to enjoy the benefits.
• Overdrijf
  Yeah, running for help, that'd how I like 'em.
• CTG
  Overdrijf: join dstien, Pavekiller or anybody, form a team and maybe Meganium will adopt you. Ayrton is stronger than BJ and Duplode together.
• CTG
  Yes, I'm insulting Corks...
• firefoxie
  hi
• Zak McKracken
  yes, we'd really like to see one another newbie team regardless if its adopted or not. Teamwork brings the skills.
• Zak McKracken
  according to the graphical scoreboard Overdrijf is about to crash into Friker
• firefoxie
  hey, I'm in the top 10. That's never happened before. Must be the car
• Overdrijf
  I was so proud of that JAG-replay, and now I'm one of the few people that doesn't manage to beat it. I need a new tactic...
• Overdrijf
  Millisecond war!
• Overdrijf
  @Zak: look at the graphical board now, friker and firefoxie are practically riding a tandem. So, enough spam for one day.
• Friker
  hey my holy asshole! youre not allowed to do this!
• CTG
  Then try to escape from there... If you won't leave that result behind, we will think you are pseudo-gay.
• Overdrijf
  If you could just move a few 10's of a second forward you'dd take aburaf in for a trio...
• CTG
  Bah, homosexual gang bang...
• Friker
  hmm..
• Friker
  .. looks much better now

Mar 11

• Overdrijf
  If I were really bored I'dd suggest trying to write something in the graphic scoreboard by positioning all twelve cars at certain positions. We should be able to get at least two letters out of it, or a smiley face...
• Bonzai Joe
  That's a fantastic idea. The only problem is all 12 top drivers would have to be equally bored. What would you like to write?
• Overdrijf
  Well, I'dd like to go for "what the heck, that jag is back on track, breathing down my neck like a yak, yeck!" But it would be quite hard with just twelve cars. A smiley would be possible with twelve cars, but they'dd probably not position themselves well automatically. I'll have to think about this one, providing I get that bored...
• Overdrijf
  O, you could do SOS in morse, 1 car is a dot, 2 right behind each other a stripe. But then we only get to use one bar...
• Bonzai Joe
  Actually, the graphical scoreboard looks a lot like a rifle right now! Pointing west...
• Overdrijf
  Does you hanging srround here mean we can expect to a (fast) time anywhere soon?
• Bonzai Joe
  Not really :-) When I'm racing, I don't hang around here so much. When I hang around here a lot it means I'm working or studying, but having trouble concentrating
• CTG
  short RH try with Rivers' evil machine
• Overdrijf
  Rub it in...
• Overdrijf
  If Zak, Aburaf and Friker would wait up a bit we could have a 6-way millisecond war...
• Bonzai Joe
  March 31st is the time to fight for milliseconds...
• Friker
  im waiting until next try to rip my ass
• CTG
  Are you waiting for that? What a fag... (kidding)
• Overdrijf
  The board leader has been on a break since before the race started, people are daring eachother to rip their ass and you are currently bored enough to read this message, yup, it's a regular stunts race.
• CTG
  ...then comes Ayrton with 53.50, using Carrera.

Mar 12

• Overdrijf
  Only to shave another 5 seconds of with the indy, just cause he can.
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Antti...!!!
• Friker
  Happy Birthday
• Overdrijf
  Also congratulations
• Overdrijf
  Cool, I managed to send a time without a driver belonging to it.
• CTG
  Try Párkány track in USC: easy Corvette powergear ride, even for beginners!
• Overdrijf
  Hé Friker, would you stop assaulting Zak like that? I thought you wanted people to keep some distance?
• CTG
  Sending a fake replay could fuck up the graphical scoreboard: 2nd-12th = bukkake party.
• Overdrijf
  Yes, 10 seconds, that's correct. What do you mean, time penalty?
• firefoxie
  oh I give up, can't do any better with no RH & automatic.
• Bonzai Joe
  That's because you're CTG's ghost.
• Bonzai Joe
  The only way to prove you are not CTG's ghost is to act very human in the forum;-)
• firefoxie
  uhm, me??
• Overdrijf
  Yeah you, CTG made that account to publish his NORH times, and now acts like he is in fact a different person, you. But he uhh you uhh whatever will have to do better than that to fool us.
• Overdrijf
  By the way, if that's NORH, how do you feel about joining a feel the thrill race sometime?
• CTG
  No way, my slowest ghost is Duplode.
• CTG
  Maybe you should talk in Dutch to prove...
• CTG
  De man verzette zich lange tijd tegen pogingen om gered te worden. De politiecommandant verklaarde dat hij ,,vrijwillig in het water sprong en medische hulp weigerde''. Het lukte in eerste instantie niet de man per helikopter uit het water te halen. De wind van de propellers werd gebruikt om de man dichter naar de kant te duwen.
• Overdrijf
  Hé, that's about me. How did you find that?

Mar 13

• Overdrijf
  Hé, cool, a new driver (well, at least I didn't see her yet).
• Bonzai Joe
  A new driver, slamming through, riding down the highway 101
• Overdrijf
  By the way, I like how symmetric the newbie board is now, I just hope Friker appreciates it as much as I do.
• Friker
  i like it too but dont worry - you will not be the winner of this track
• Overdrijf
  I have nothing to worry about, I'm the underdog who's only way is up...
• firefoxie
  WTF? I'm like, real. The guy in the pic is actually me. I don't even know CTG!
• firefoxie
  @overdrijf: I don't get it. what do you mean? feel the thrill?
• Duplode
  @firefoxie: worry not, everyone "is" a CTG ghost at some point of his/her early career. Myself included After all these years it's almost like a passage rite...
• Duplode
  And I love the newbie's name...
• Duplode
  Oh yes, forgot to mention. firefoxie: Feel The Thrill = FTT = Krys' NoRH competition. See feelthethrill.free.fr . Next round starts this Sunday

Mar 14

• CTG
  B Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö F F ! ! !
• Overdrijf
  Ah, we have a contender that enjoys a challenge, the ferrari with just 9% bonus. (that's the same as what the 962 will have next month if nobidy uses it now, I'm already enjoying the idea.)
• SuperBrian
  Well, we can try to use it..
• Overdrijf
  *Tries to burn SuperBrian's time off by looking at it*
• Overdrijf
  I mean, we're throwing stones at our own windows, the people who like IMSA cars are spread out over all 3 of them now. We still have two weeks, we could just find out which one is ultimately faster and all drive that one. O wait, that's coöperation, people are only allowed to do that within their team...

Mar 15

• Bonzai Joe
  There is no strict rule about cooperation outside teams...
• CTG
  There are no strict rules, so send me your replays - especially Ayrton, BJ and Duplode!

Mar 16

• Duplode
  I always wanted to know how the php system reacts when you...
• CTG
  Too late, 2 LTB points in the pocket - with a weak replay, with my weakest car. This race is a nonsense.
• Duplode
  I knew that (mostly away from racing for the last week), and it seems only you're worried about the race Note that co-lead doesn't affect LTB, BTW, so you didn't even needed to act if +2 wasn't assured

Mar 17

• Bonzai Joe
  Note that the winner car on this track is the Corvette.
• Friker
  is it? my writing part of final exams starts today im so happy it will be over after this week..
• Overdrijf
  So I have a few days left to get ahead of you, and then more than a week of defense. Mmh...
• CTG
  Note that the winner car on this track is not the Corvette. Really.
• CTG
  Use Speedgate.
• CTG
  
• CTG
  Btw DUP: I know that co-lead doesn't mean sharing leading hours. But it's still better to see my name alone on the top...
• Overdrijf
  I don't know who it was that wrote of the JAG, but I'm glad there's so little competition.
• Overdrijf
  By the way: I tested it for you Brian: the JAG is with this track and bonusus faster than the 926, so you can switch back again. *puppy-eyes* [/if you haven't followed it, don't try...]
• Overdrijf
  And the 962 of course. *shame*

Mar 18

• CTG
  BJ wants an LTB point.
• CTG
  Shall I let him earn one? But then I have to show my final car choice...
• CTG
  Overdrijf's Jaguar lap is not so bad, it was at least 10 minutes to beat it... It's better if you change to Speedgate!
• Overdrijf
  There's something the two of you are doing the rest doesn't. At times like this I really wish I could see these things...
• Overdrijf
  O, the 3 of you of course...
• CTG
  Nope, only me, these two are my ghosts.
• Overdrijf
  *Does the happy dance thanks to superbrian*
• CTG
  Not the Jeep...
• CTG
  Not the Ranger...
• CTG
  Maybe the Skyline...
• CTG
  THE CORVETTE?!?
• Overdrijf
  The countach with the indy engine?
• CTG
  Still not so good...
• CTG
  I hate to say but it seems Countach fits me the best this time. That means bad for my final ranking... :-S
• CTG
  Speedgate was almost good, 0.30 slower than BJ.
• Zak McKracken
  The graphical scoreboard looks like a Tour de France bike race. Three racers in escape, and a bit group following them way behind. Who will break out and go after the escapees?
• Bonzai Joe
  Yes. We're letting CTG do all the work by leading the group
• CTG
  Result will be (Ayrton), Duplode, Bonzai Joe, CTG - and I have the two LTB points. So I don't worry about the final ranking.
• CTG
  Okay, maybe Zak will be 4th/5th, Countach is not my cup of tea.
• CTG
  I mean 3rd/4th
• CTG
  Personally, I wonder which Cork guy will fight for the other LTB point - both of them have a chance for a season victory, so there shouldn't be a team order... BJ or Duplode?

Mar 19

• Bonzai Joe
  Are you sure you will be in the Top 5, CTG? I think you will be fighting for 7th place
• Bonzai Joe
  Why did the Carrera only get +2 for not being used on Z92, and all the others +3?
• Overdrijf
  One race not in top 12 = +2%, two races = +3%, 4 races +4% etc.
• Bonzai Joe
  Ah, okay. Guess I should read the rules...
• CTG
  You mean Cocks and Cock's slaves in TOP6?
• CTG
  Btw I don't really care because I'm on a break... did you forget?
• Friker
  hmm ill start racing maybe tommorow
• Overdrijf
  Good, should give you plenty of time to get back ahead before I get to spend any serious time on it...
• CTG
  Don't believe BJ's leading time, Speedgate is not the best car on this track!!!
• Overdrijf
  No it isn't.
• CTG
  I see the agreement: BJ - LTB, but letting Duplode win his first ZCT race ever...

Mar 20

• Overdrijf
  And who assures me you and Brian aren't playing a similar game?
• CTG
  I'm so sorry to inform you but SBR won't ever go under 1:03.
• Bonzai Joe
  Time to prove him wrong, Brian :-) but I agree to the extent that with AUTO, you will never go under 1:03 :-)
• CTG
  My 1:02.xx with Countach contains no tricks, air spins, shortcuts and dual-way switching ---> people using Countach for maxout will finish around 57-58 secs.

Mar 22

• SuperBrian
  Hey guys, I have been SO drunk the last four days, and I have only driven this track about three times, so I don't have much time to prove myself worthy. BUT I'll sit down and do something about it very soon. I can see that I still have 9 days. So who knows? Maybe I'll drop by with a manual trm time..

Mar 23

• Bonzai Joe
  Great excuse! That sounds lovely... I miss being drunk. I also miss Ayrton. I wonder when he is going to appear again.
• Friker
  ah.. i have no time :-/ it seems i wont be a winner of this race in the newbie league

Mar 24

• satanziege
  SO Pitman, finally second team-place for you :-)
• Overdrijf
  It's no fun beating people when they're not trying, it's even worse when they say they have no time (or are on a break ) and beat you anyway...

Mar 25

• CTG
  Guys! Come to USC!!!
• Overdrijf
  I managed to beat my time on the first half, but my second half was apparently so good (for me) that I still can't beat my final time.
• CTG
  B Ö Ö Ö Ö F F ! ! ! Böff dampening: < 1dB
• CTG
  Wine...
• CTG
  Fuck off Cocks!!!
• CTG
  Cork's
• CTG
  spam
• CTG
  like always
• CTG
  whee ^_^ Böff dampening: < 1dB
• Friker
  CTG is drunk again...
• CTG
  Am I?
• CTG
  (only a bit... <200 ccm alcohol)

Mar 26

• Duplode
  Non-relevant data without the concentration
• CTG
  I mean <200 ccm alcohol... One bottle of Borsodi is 23 ccm alcohol, a bottle of wine is about 90-100.
• CTG
  But partly you are right: 200 ccm pure alcohol coming from beer (~4 liter) and vodka (~0.5 liter) is not equal in drunkness. Mathematically... well, they are.
• Overdrijf
  You know you don't get drunk often enough when you start calculating how drunk you should be instead of being it. Guys, get a bottle...
• Overdrijf
  You know you don't get drunk often enough when you start calculating how drunk you should be instead of being it. Guys, get a bottle...
• CTG
  Yep, it's too rare, I need a lot more...
• HTE
  Hi all I'm in here xD
• Overdrijf
  Welcome fellow JAG driver.
• Overdrijf
  [Darth vader voice]Join me Friker, and together we shall rule the newbie league as father and no, wait, forget that last part...[/Darth vader voice]
• Zak McKracken
  Welcome, HTE!
• HTE
  Thanks Zak have a nice race!
• HTE
  [Rouge leader voice]Overdrijf in my front, it's too far,I need a ship with hyperdrive[Rouge leader voice] my situation translated to Star Wars world
• Overdrijf
  HTE is superbrian's ghost, definately.
• Overdrijf
  By the way, if you could keep your time but switch to the speedgate we'd have a nice and symmetric newbie board again.
• HTE
  ok I go to try, but my time with with speedgate is poor! I made only 1.21!
• Overdrijf
  No, just kidding, drive whatever you like. I was faster with JAG than with both porsche and speedgate (and countach), but obviously that was different for others...
• Overdrijf
  And besides, your time is already too fast now for it to be symmetric.
• HTE
  ok, I ever used P962 and Indy for play, and I low 0.25 sec only for secure my place, and mistake me! I don´t look the smile at the end xD Good race, I have to go now

Mar 27

• Dear newbies, gather yourself together finally and start a team, OK? You want to beat me or don't you? Well come on, I'm waiting for you!
• Friker
  as i can see ill have no time to race seriously until august.. :-/ beside - overdrijf - i can rule the newbie league myself but thanks for asking ok our partnership would worth nothing because as i mentioned i am unable to race seriously until august thus you cannot gain any experiences from me. but if you want we can make team together.
• Friker
  as i can see ill have no time to race seriously until august.. :-/ [joke-mode] beside - overdrijf - i can rule the newbie league myself but thanks for asking [/joke-mode] ok our partnership would worth nothing because as i mentioned i am unable to race seriously until august thus you cannot gain any experiences from me. but if you want we can make team together (obviously 'some' characters are forbidden )
• HTE
  Pitman in your team are only from germany or others can in? I want to in!
• Duplode
  Welcome HTE! Oh, I see you're a Brazilian newbie! And you even run a Stunts blog!
• Duplode
  @HTE: About Pitman's team - it already has a full roster (4 members max). Maybe you should contact Overdrijf/Friker instead, that may motivate them further to actually start a team
• Overdrijf
  Oeh, I hope we get a millisecond war between HTE and Sister Of Mercy...
• Overdrijf
  @HTE: you only ever race 962 and Indy? I'dd like to see how many races you can keep that up with zakstunts' car bonus rules...
• Overdrijf
  And @ Friker: you're cheating, this is a game/hobby, racing seriously is strictly forbidden!
• CTG
  Muppet Show
• Overdrijf
  Show me the muppets...
• CTG
  
• CTG
  
• CTG
  kidding
• Overdrijf
  I'm wondering if Ayrton will still show up, I'dd really like to see what he'd make of this track...
• Bonzai Joe
  I go away for one day and a half and there are 45 new news posts. Good job guys! And welcome to HTE!
• CTG
  BJ: today is the deadline of Párkány track, I hope to see a replay from you.
• Overdrijf
  Ah, what the beep. I had submitted this time hidden, but since both Friker and Firefoxie have announced not to overtake me and Zak can see my time anyway I might as well show off with it.
• Zak McKracken
  you should not hide a time before the quiet days
• Overdrijf
  Then why is there an option to do so?
• Zak McKracken
  because I am a lazy coder but as tomorrow is workday, although its a Saturday I intend to only work on the site instead of doing actual work. I'll possibly fix this as well...
• Overdrijf
  Cool, now I'm officially one of those people who needs everything coded for them just to keep them in line.
• Overdrijf
  P.S. Could someone from position 13 or lower overtake HTE? It's really for his own good, honest, so he can race the 962 with 9% bonus next month. Where is someone like Ayrton when you need him? [/Yes, I might be kinda bored right now]
• Overdrijf
  Haha, Skid is talking to us. Perhaps we should listen.
• Zak McKracken
  wait a minute Overdrijf, did you just overtake me? :-O I have to pull myself together!
• Overdrijf
  So that's what a coin dropping sounds like.
• CTG
  COME TO USC!!! Deadline is tonight. AND: next race is with Jaguar XJR!
• Zak McKracken
  this was badly needed
• HTE
  With 9% bonus next month? O.o why overtake me? I'm felling good in 12th place xD, and 962 and Indy it's my favourite cars, I can play with all!
• HTE
  @duplode/ you like my blog? it's good to look a brazilian in the podium, you are Ayrton Senna and I Rubens Barrichello xD
• Overdrijf
  Go Zak!
• Bonzai Joe
  I think Ayrton is Ayrton Senna :-) What does that make Duplode? Juan Fangio?
• Overdrijf
  @HTE: The reason why I would like someone to overtake you is that all cars used by people in the top twelve don't get more bonus time the next month, thos in the top 3 even lose bonus points, it's to keep the system balanced. If nobody in the top 12 races with the 962 this month it will get 9% bonus on the next track. However: Tht also means that more people might use the car, they could end up in the top 3 with it and kick it back in bonus a lot, making it unusable the month after next month. So you driving with it has its pro's as wel as its con's.
• Overdrijf
  Haha, Zak's name doesn't fit his own site (fresh times), how ironical.
• HTE
  overdrijf I understood, I tried yesterday with the lambo, and keep it now, I think it better for all no? P.S: Bonzai I think fangio is perfect! but Ayrton is Ayrton, who is Prost? CTG?
• Bonzai Joe
  Sadly there is no chance of a Párkány replay from me, as I am still in Copenhagen. Sorry about that, it's been busy times.
• Bonzai Joe
  No no, Prost is an ancient racer called "Alain" from France. On the forum he was even called "al il professore". He was a really excentric figure in the community, picking fights with nearly all other racers, and often posting while on drugs. He won the 2003 season. Check out the scoreboard archives.
• Overdrijf
  @HTE: try not to think about what's "best for all", try to pick what's the best for you. It is a race after all...
• HTE
  ok overdrijf! Bonzai this champ is full of geart pilots! Senna, Prost, Fangio, Barrichello! Makes fault a Mansell, a Lauda, a Schumacher, A Nakaj... no no he no! xD
• HTE
  I just kidding about nakajima!
• CTG
  Böff!!! I'm drinking again! HTE is a ghost, too obvious. If not, come to USC!
• HTE
  I'm not a ghost! I don't die! or I'm die?... I don't know but I go to USC too!
• HTE
  but leave the link for USC, I don't find!
• CTG
  http://unskilled.stunts.hu
• Overdrijf
  @HTE: a ghost is an alias created by someone who's already in the competition. They can serve several purposes, either they help get more points between a player and his opponents, they prevent a certain car from getting bonus or they are simply to show off with no replay handling times. Especially CTG is known for his many ghosts, so everybody including himself likes to accuse people of being ghosts, especially his ghosts. It's nothing personal, just a bit of kidding arround...
• Overdrijf

  Hm, dont know where my usb-drive with the replays is, starting from scratch

  HTE: It must be fun to be Rubinho Barrichello by now - underdog status, nothing left to prove and a potentially kickass car...
• HTE
  That's right duponte, that's right! Go rubinho! I go to look the F1 qualify! 3:00 AM in Brazil o.O

  Attention all racers. Do you want to race for a place on the podium? The current "Feel The Thrill" race runs for only one more week and only 3 racers have entered so far. If you have Dosbox and a little bit of NORH skill, this is your chance.
• Bonzai Joe
  Great work today, Zak!
• Zak McKracken
  one my try...
• Duplode
  Great work today, Zak... twice!

Mar 29

• Friker
  Overdrijf: sorry - like BJ - i have many things to do so i race so - you will be beaten by me
• Overdrijf
  Mind if I keep trying?
• Friker
  it depends on how much can you push your time down.. i can beat aburaf's time but i cannot be much better then he.
• Overdrijf
  I heard that before. You can beat his time, but not untill august.
• Friker
  we shall see...

• Puvlic announcement: LTB bonuses for ZCT93 are the following: CTG +2, Bonzai Joe +1
• I have two things to announce:
  Remember, that the host of the site has changed to daylight saving time, so now we are in the GMT+2 zone, when your country doesn't follow daylight saving.
  Tomorrow's update will be delayed by approx. 2 hours as the site admin has to train hard for the 24 hour mountain bike Euro-championship.
• Overdrijf
  Cool, a puvlic announcement. Is that something like a pulvic announcement?
• Overdrijf
  W00T, shortcut! 1.01.76!
• HTE
  some newbie racer want to make a team?
• Overdrijf
  Well, I'm kind of trying to get a team together, but so far I haven't had very enthusiastic responses yet. With that being given, I don't think there is enough animo to form two new competing newbie teams. So yeah, I guess that would put me on the list of "wants to make a team".
• Friker
  so there are two of us and that is sufficient quantity to make a new team.
• Overdrijf
  Technically, but I like to have some more people to steal tricks from. We could mail dstien, cyberman or pavekiller for example, haven't tried any of them yet.
• Friker
  if they could not beat me then i have nothing to learn from them.. so i want to be in Cork's dictatorship family
• Friker
  and you: as far as you are my main opponent in the league it would be stupid to share my replays with you (dont take it personally - next year ill be glad to be with you in one team)
• Overdrijf
  And as for you, as long as you keep kicking my ass I'll never get that one slot left in cork's dictatorship family, so I'm setting up a team.
• Zak McKracken
  lol guys you are funny
• Overdrijf
  Just a bit noisy, this is quiet time people.
• Bonzai Joe
  As the situation is currently, I don't think it would be a good idea to fill up the 4th slot in Cork's Crew (but of course this is up for debate in the team). The problem is there is no real team competition. Cork's Crew with 4 dedicated racers would tilt the competition totally. We need more teams, to bring the world more alive.
• Friker
  i agree. still i think a newbie team cannot beat corks crew or damage inc. so it would be only fighting for 3rd place.. if meganiums racers keep racing newbie teams are totally cut off. so i want to be in team only for learning not for win whole league as team
• CTG
  Cork won't let any of you to the team because he knows all of you are my ghosts...
• CTG
  59.95 sent in hidden mode anyway

Mar 31

• Attention lone racers!
  A new newbie team is forming! If you want to improve your skills, this is the best opportunity you can get! Contact fellow racer Overdrijf or visit this forum topic for details.
• So another track joins the previous 92 ZakStunts tracks - Crossworld. Nothing special will mark this track in our history, we had no outstanding tricks (sorry, designers fault :)) nor events. The activity was also fair, but not remarkable.
  Bonzai Joe did an Ayrton-ish move, and beat everyone in a different car - the Speedgate, thus kicking it out from the potent car list for a while.
  CTG came second with strong Countach skills
  Fellow team members ZakMcKracken and Duplode came third - driving on completely different lines but achieving the same time and securing 10-10 points.
  We also had a nice battle in the newbie league, Friker was the best again. He sure has a lot of potential, his loop jump was also nice! I'd also note Overdrijf, he switched ways on the track in a very precise manner. His car was not strong enough though to win the newbie league this time.
  And off we go to the 4th track of the season - Cottage Cheese. My wife gave the name, don't ask why... Which car? We have some very high numbers between the slower ones, but the 9% Porsche IMSA also sounds strong. we'll see soon! Hit the road, and see you on the scoreboard!
• Bonzai Joe
  I think a newbie team could beat Cork's Crew and Damage Inc. For some reason the newbies of 2008 and 2009 are very humble. It has happened quite often that someone new has appeared and improved drastically and beaten the old masters quite soon. Alain, Alan Rotoi, Renato Biker, Ayrton, Gutix, Duplode...
• Overdrijf
  @BJ: But to expect that to happen within the course of the season? Even if we would be beating you by the end of the season, we'dd still be way behind in the team cup. I mean, at this rate we might defeat Meganium by then, for their lack of showing up, but the other two teams?
• Overdrijf
  Oh, and being CTG's ghost, I have a name for a new team: Screw Cork.
• Bonzai Joe
  Okay the 2009 team championship will be hard to catch (not impossible, only requires some Cork's Crew members to lose motivation), but that's not going to get any better if a 4th racer join's Cork's Crew and no new team is formed :-) It's like in a network team game, if all players join the same team and fight against one or two other players. No fun.
• Overdrijf
  @Friker: So you want to be in a team now, just not with me. Does that mean I have to hurry to get the good drivers on board?
• Overdrijf
  *Puts money were mouth is* Dstien, how about it?
• Overdrijf
  @BJ: Well, at least almost everybody wins. Unless of course that one player is Ayrton...
• Overdrijf
  All newbies to the forum! [/enough spam for one day]
• Zak McKracken
  it should be hard to beat us, but beating Damage is easy
• Zak McKracken
  remember, team points are calculated retrospectively from January even if you form now.
• Overdrijf
  It would be easier if you guys would all beat damage, the gap in points to CTG would be smaller and easier to compensate.
• CTG
  Zak: say the same thing about Damage again and you won't ever see me in ZSC.
• Zak McKracken
  see, you're continuously insulting us for weeks, and then you take one single comment with a smiley as a heavy offense.
• CTG
  And you also take my words seriously...
• CTG
  Btw we all know Cork gave a command for a pure team podium. I have a spy there.
• Zak McKracken
  your words can always be trusted.
• CTG
  Yes. And I'm on a break.
• CTG
  Btw where is Töff?
• Overdrijf
  With his brother Böff?
• CTG
  Do you even know what böff means? Opboeren!
• Overdrijf
  Boeren! Boeren! Boeren! [/Yes, I live there]
• Bonzai Joe
  13:01 - where is Ayrton?
• Overdrijf
  Sending a hidden time, done with the acura, 1.01.98, before car correction.
• CTG
  13:26 - where are the hidden Cork replays?
• CTG
  P962 and Jaguar in TOP 12, another bad period for IMSA lovers.
• Bonzai Joe
  1.01.98 before correction That will be a strange replay...
• Overdrijf
  On the other hand, aopparently they are both competitive, and perhaps one day we will agree on which one is better on a track...
• Overdrijf
  And no, me beating my time with the 962 (or speedgate, or countach)before 20.00 is not a realistic option.
• Overdrijf
  By the way, any countach drivers up for the challenge of beating Antti's time?
• CTG
  I would need about 1 hour racing to beat Antti's absolute time with Countach. Too bad I have to work now...
• Zak McKracken
  8782 news posts were made until now. I'm planning a small surprise soon
• Overdrijf
  I just got an idea. Zak, could you help me spamwhore by dropping a line about our little newbie team in the frontpage news somewhere arround the time you announce the scores? For those who do net check the whole news section to see what I've been spamwhoring?
• Overdrijf
  Ooh, a surprise, I like surprises, generally...
• Overdrijf
  Thanks!
• Overdrijf
  Haha, nice surprise.
• Zak McKracken
  ok, check the surprise below the admin news on the main page
• Bonzai Joe
  Here's a replay. Someone has to send replays...
• Friker
  thanks for this surprise
• Overdrijf
  Context is overrated anyway.
• Bonzai Joe
  2005-09-26 CTG B?FF! I think this is what we'll see 50% of the time. With varying numbers at the top.
• Friker
  zak: could we modify the rules? - i want to ask if it is possible to add this line: "First sent replay has to be send visible." to prevent some unexpected Ayrton's surprises
• Bonzai Joe
  Ayrton never sends hidden times. Most likely he will not participate in this race. Otherwise he will send a visible replay 20 minutes before deadline.
• Duplode
  Ayrton wouldn't do it, but the idea is still useful, though. On a tangentially related note, it reminds me of WSC, where we had a similar rule... :-/
• Duplode
  
• Overdrijf
  You know, I just realised, I'm actually the oldest driver in the team, if the profiles are right.
• Friker
  profiles lie! actually i am 19
• Overdrijf
  Watch out guys, I think Satanziege has a hidden time somewhere in the low one zero somethings...
• Zak McKracken
  I'm home, update will be on schedule or with a very little delay only. Depends on how long I eat my dinner
• Overdrijf
  This way I'll at least be newbie leader for the last 5 minutes.
• Zak McKracken
  update started
• Zak McKracken
  scoreboard final, unconfirmed
• Overdrijf
  Lol, seems like I wasn't far of with my bet on Satanziege.
• Overdrijf
  And congratulations, teammate.
• CTG
  That was a weak race again, my sucker replay was enough for the 2nd place - BJ was a lot better, another class on this track.
• Overdrijf
  O, wait, seems like something good did come out of it. *Does 962 9% bonus dance.*
• Zak McKracken
  scoreboard final, confirmed
• CTG
  Yep, finally a good IMSA bonus.
• Overdrijf
  I'm just happy to have a 3 man team in, I seemed a better driver to join forces with before Pittman overtook me by two places.
• Zak McKracken
  update done, track available
• Pitman
  sorry ´bout that, just some lucky last minute punches.. nevermind, you are the better driver! ;-)
• Overdrijf
  You're not second in the newbie league for nothing. Besides, it's always good to have a goal for future races.
• Overdrijf
  It's funny to watch those replays, everyone found their own way past that first set of obstacles and the loop.
• Friker
  Overdrijf: very nice way switch other replays will be analyzed when my girlfriend will be gone O:-)
• Zak McKracken
  listbeginner
• Overdrijf
  By the way Friker and HTE: do the mailadresses you entered into zakstunts work? I'm a member of anonymous spammers.
• CTG
  BÖFF
• CTG
  huge improvement
• Overdrijf
  Us is the slow!
• Bonzai Joe
  How is 42 38% of 327?
• Overdrijf
  102...
• Overdrijf
  No wait, that still wouldn't work out...
• CTG
  Wow, the Ranger is faster!
• CTG
  No, wait! Jeep is better!
• CTG
  Damn, it's fast like hell!
• Pitman
  that tank rocks..
• Bonzai Joe
  We're looking at a 100% ACURA race here.
• CTG
  Jeep is not the car of this race.
• CTG
  Don't believe him!!! Acura is a crappy car for this track! He was also wrong with Corvette last time.
• Bonzai Joe
  We're looking at a 77% Skyline race, 43% Corvette and -20% Carrera. By the way, the only reason the Corvette didn't win last time was that Ayrton didn't participate
• Bonzai Joe
  At least we can be sure the following cars have zero chance: Carrera, Ferrari, Speedgate, Jaguar, Countach.
• Overdrijf
  Corvette's not gonna do it. Acura, Skyline, and maybe some quattro and 962.
• CTG
  We will see...
• Overdrijf
  And perhaps LM002, although it's awesomely boring to drive.
• Overdrijf
  Oké, maybe corvette is gonna cut it...
• Duplode
  On which direction does the track run? Assuming it ends just after the loop, judging from the snapshot I'll like it quite a bit
• Friker
  quick cars are not made for me
• Friker
  and duplode - yes youre right
