Jul 3

• You got a present: an update one day before it was promised! :)
  Big congratulations go to CTG, who won and got all the LTB (+2) awarded on this track.
  We all know Krys Toff is a crazy Frenchmen, but now he proves it again - just check his creation, ZCT77-Offroad! And prepare for my madness, ZCT78 ;)
  Well, I'm off to my state exam, have fun!
• DieselJoe
  B ??FFFF!!! Back from the fusion festival! Now I need a beer.
  Happy birthday Cax!
• Chulk
  Happy Birthday CTG!
• Ayrton
  Hi boys !! Long time since my last visit to the site, my greetings to all and happy birthday to CTG and all others that i`couldn?t see last time. I hope to return in holidays...
• Mark L. Rivers
  Mhmm... the same month of Krys TOFF... Undubitably a good month for Stunts racing...
• Mark L. Rivers
  Happy to have your notice Ayrton and to know you could return in holidays! Keep on mind that you are sliding out of top 10 in SWR and so you "must" return if you want to be included in ISM 2008!
• Krys TOFF
  Happy birthday Mr Varga. :-)
• Zak McKracken
  Happy Birthday Ghost Master CTG!
  Celebrate with some Spam & Eggs!
• Zak McKracken
  Wheee! Welcome back Ayrton!
• CTG
  Thanks all! Zak: nope, I celebrate with the Z77 victory.
• CTG
  Z76... sorry (I forsee my Z77 victory too... kidding )
• Duplode
  Cogratulations to fellow CTG, both for b-day and victory! And good luck to Zak...
• CTG
  Oh my god, three t?ff tracks in a row, all of them makes my stunts idiot. I can't race on this track, it always freezes when starting. Maybe we should race on conventional tracks again after this...
• Duplode
  Z77 loads normally here, but the horizon is...different. Krys, are those random color bits emulating a stadium crowd ?
• Krys TOFF
  Welcome back Ayrton. @ CTG and Duplode : horizon is the weird one allowed by Track Blaster program, I thought it would suits fine with the crazy Z77 "try to find the best way" track. If it's a problem, I can change it. Zak ?
• Duplode
  I'm becoming a fan of Krys's special offroad events...nice track! PS.: In case we change the horizon, would I need to redrive my lap?
• Krys TOFF
  @ Duplode : thanks, goal for ZS this year is "crazy new original rules", I just try to follow the goal of the year. ;-) About the hoziron, as long as not any element of the track is changed I think replay is valid. Anyway, it IS already valid : replays with "classic" horizon are not valid as long as Zak doesn't accept to publish the track with modified horizon.

Jul 4

• Replays sent with a different horizon but unmodified track are accepted.
• SUMMER SCHEDULE 2007:
  
  This only affects July. I won't be at home between July 7-28, and my brother also won't be at home July 12-18 and 21-25. I'll set the server to reboot daily, but still if we experience a hard freeze, and no one is at home, it won't restart. If the site cant be reached, send your replays to zakstuns AT gmail DOT com.
• Mark L. Rivers
  Simply I couldn't wait... Time easily betable, mine. But I think there are only two ways to follow aiming the victory, and one of them appears faster than other one... But maybe I'm wrong, and anyway I hope there won't be a pink (red or yellow or blue or green or whatever colour you want...) line to describe in a whatever picture a suggested best way!
• CTG
  what about penalty time?
• CTG
  i got +3 seconds, shall I add it or we can forget about that in this case?
• CTG
  damn this one has to be the wrong way with auto trm...
• CTG
  Bit better... 3 seconds penalty is added.
• CTG
  fisse, fotze, foufounne, pina, pizda - i like this track
• CTG
  sorry I forgot to add penalty this time, correct result is 1:27.05
• CTG
  1:24.05 is invalid, please remove. Here is the same with the added penalty.
• CTG
  After this season I would like to form a team with Mark and Duplode. It would kick ass.
• Krys TOFF
  Mark doesn't want to join any team.
• CTG
  I'll have a better offer than Damage Inc.
• Duplode
  Well, how could a CTG/Mark combo NOT kick ass?
• Mark L. Rivers
  Well, it's really a track which is able to give us many surprises...
• CTG
  did you add penalty time?
• CTG
  Okay, you wanted.
• JTK
  Sorry, it's far too sophisticated for me. I did not like the track at all and still hate the "car". >:-(

Jul 5

• Mark L. Rivers
  Zak, please, erase my 1'23"60, I've realized today it's not valid... My valid time is that I send now. Anyway, I see the "light"...
• CTG
  Nice trick to cheat out my best... but this one wasn't my best.

Jul 6

• Duplode
  ^^...and then follows a 300+ day leading stretch from CTG? Let's see who'll disagree first...
• Duplode
  *correction: read 300-hour on last post *
• CTG
  300? LOL. Mark said he saw the light... maybe at the end of the tunnel... but which tunnel...
• CTG
  If the hard freeze happens, I suggest to stop LTB counting for this month.

Jul 9

• Krys TOFF
  Mmmm, not the good way it seems...
• Krys TOFF
  Slightly better...
• Krys TOFF
  Better way it seems. Now I have to improve it with manual gears.
• Krys TOFF
  It was automatic gears, not manual. I hope this 2nd send of the same replay will correct it in scoreboard.
• Krys TOFF
  Nope, it's still written manual. Well, not so important anyway...

Jul 10

• Mara Mong
  You guys are just boring. I AM THE FIRST SUBMINUTE RACER ON THIS TRACK!

Jul 12

• CTG
  So you completed the small lap.
• Zak McKracken
  Greetings from Amsterdam! We dont like it that much, Berlin is the greatest! And of course the McDoner in Hannover is still tasty
• CTG
  try weed
• DieselJoe
  Yay, McD?ner!

Jul 15

• Krys TOFF
  Forum has a database error... :-(

Jul 16

• CTG
  USL update in the afternoon.
• Duplode
  Hello again folks... speaking of USL, I reckon this is a good place to put an acessible link to USC emergency forum as we could make use of it for a couple days: http://forum.sg.hu/forum.php3?azonosito=unskilled
• Krys TOFF
  We can also use the "other competitions" part of WSC forum : http://fsa.ar.nu/ ;o)
• CTG
  Yokohama results are updated.
• JTK
  Hi Zak, what happened to the forum? It always displays: "Database Error. Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator."
• CTG
  I guess we won't have Forum in the next two weeks...
• Krys TOFF
  Copa America : Brazil 3-0 Argentina
• Paleke
  You don't have to remind us that, Krys
• Paleke
  Anyway, as Krys said, feel free to use the "others competitions" section in my forum (http://fsa.ar.nu)
• Paleke
  Ok, just one more spam and I leave. WSC will start again this weekend, so don't forget to check it (in case you don't remember: http://wsc.ar.nu)
• Krys TOFF
  Cool, WSC is coming back ! :-)

Jul 17

• Duplode
  Great to know you and WSC returned, Paleke! And btw, about the 3-0, it sets the mood pretty damn fine. Don't you agree, hermanos?? ;-)
• CTG
  Small gaps on Modena.
• Mark L. Rivers
  Little window on Stunts racing from holidays... About Z77: CTG, your time seems really strong. With my actual path I can improve only a bit, not enough to beat your time... Maybe I have to study better the map... About USL: Krys, I hadn't thought to beat you so easily, it's a pity you hadn't more time to race... About the race, I left my 0"35 (and my general victory) in the first 10"... Seeing Dubai, Pretoria and Yokohama analisys, I think to have lost 4 points in the first seconds of race... OK, I understood where I can improve...
• CTG
  Mark: this week you have to make a really strong first part on Modena...

Jul 19

• CTG
  As far as I look back in analysis I can say some of the drivers are good lap beginners, some of them maxout the finish. I'm rather a finish oriented racer too...
• Krys TOFF
  I've always been a finish-oriented racer. Anyway, I just realized that Kalpen deadline is in 1H30, I thought it was tomorrow... Too bad, no improvement as I didn't raced Stunts since monday and before I was focused on other competitions. Too bad for my overall ranking (I hope I won't regret it when qualifications for ISM will be made at the end of the year)
• JTK
  You still got time - end of ctr2007b is 12.00 PM!! So you still got the chance to win this track...
• CTG
  It's hard for me too - with this line I'm at the limit or very close to it.
• CTG
  DAMN IT I FORGOT THE PENALTY TIME AGAIN!!! :-S 1:21.80 of course. I have to make a real 1:18.80 to validate it...

Jul 20

• Krys TOFF
  Stupid me ! I thought Kalpen deadline was yesterday noon, not yesterday midnight. Why don't you write time using 24 hours like anybody else ? Too bad, I could have raced yesterday evening. Instead, I finished a Civilization 2 game started a few weeks ago (got 103% in the end, not too bad )... Tonight will be dedicated to USC and USL tracks, and SDR too if I still have time, else I'll race SDR saturday.
• CTG
  USC and USL update: undefined time, electricity is down in the hostel for the whole day and I'm at workplace now... Else: new Hungarian temperature record in prospect, meteorologists say 42?C for the afternoon in certain parts of the country (extreme hot weather in this week). I felt "only" 39.5?C in Budapest...
• Krys TOFF
  My wife just informed me by phone that web access is down at home. It was planned to be down to change optical fibers (and then I will have much higher web speed once it's finished) but no date was given (I hoped that it may be during my holidays far from home). Maybe it's that, so I'll be with no web for a few days. This means a high risk of no possibility for me to send any replay for USC and USL which deadlines are this week-end... This new computer have no "old" modem card for classic 56k web access during ADSL break. I'll see if I can install the modem card from my old computer but it's not sure that it will be properly recognized by Vista. Right now I publish this message from my job, if you get no news from me during all the week-end don't be surprised... :-(
• Krys TOFF
  @ CTG : you and I may have no possibility to have web access until monday morning from our jobs (all my neighbors are away from home for holidays at the moment, I can't even send mail from their computer). Is it possible to extend USC and USL deadlines to monday morning (let's say, 10 o'clock in the morning to be sure as I start my job at 9H00-9H15) instead of sunday midnight ? Then I'll race this week-end and send my replays from my job monday morning in case web access is still off. If my web access is back, I'll post a message here (as forum is still unreachable).
• CTG
  Okay, +1 day for USC and USL.
• CTG
  But only if you can't install the old modem card!!!
• Krys TOFF
  OK. I'm leaving job and going home in e few minutes. Internet by ADSL is still out at home. I'll test modem card to connect to the web by old web access system tomorrow morning. If you don't have a message here from me before saturday evening, it means modem card isn't recognized properly by Vista. I searched on the web for new drivers for it but there's no new driver at Lenovo for modem cards (the brand of my modem internal card) for Vista. The driver available is the same I already have. I hope it will work with Vista, else I won't have web at home until Lenovo does a new driver for Vista (or until my ADSL web acces is improved to new one, but I don't know how much time it will take). And as now ADSL connections are much more present than 56k modem ones, I fear it's not Lenovo priority work... Bye guys, see you tomorrow (I hope). Or else see you monday morning.
• CTG
  Damn I won't be here after saturday morning (as usual). Okay it means DEADLINES ARE MODIFIED BY ONE DAY, independently from your internet connection.

Jul 21

• Duplode
  If you can read this, happy birthday Krys! ;-)
• AbuRaf70
  Happy birthday, teacher Krys...!!!
• CTG
  Happy birthday Mr T?ff! I wish you plenty of 'foufounne's.
• DieselJoe
  Bon anniversaire Krys B?FF!
• Mark L. Rivers
  Krys, it's hopeless you continue to increase your age... Simply you can't reach me...
• Mark L. Rivers
  About USL: Is it confirmed that deadline will be Monday (23th) at 23.59 (GMT+1)? If it's so I have more chances to limit my gap from CTG with this soap-car...
• Duplode
  Just to note that I haven't forgotten ZSC...

Jul 22

• Duplode
  Slightly better, but now I'll probably need to reconsider my route too...
• CTG
  Yes it's confirmed.
• CTG
  B?FF!!! (I said this long-long time ago here.... )

Jul 23

• Paleke
  Sorry for the delay but: 1- Happy birthday Krys!!! 2- WSC new track is available now.
• Krys TOFF
  "Krys, it's hopeless you continue to increase your age... Simply you can't reach me... " => Loooooool ! You're just 1 year older than me.
• Krys TOFF
  Many thanks to all for the birthday whishes. And thanks CTG for postponing the deadline of USC and USL.
• Krys TOFF
  Some explanations regarding my web connection and why I couldn't connect saturday : my new computer has no slot adapted to the size of my 56k modem card !!! I only have PCI slots available. Other slots are already in use and don't fit the requirement of my 56k modem card anyway... And as ADSL connection is still off for undefined delay, I'll connect this week only from my job...
• Krys TOFF
  Also, I'll leave for holidays next sunday very early in the morning. This means saturday will be dedicated to holidays preparations. So my last replays of the month will be sent on friday (friday morning from my job maybe if web acess is still off at the end of the week...). WSC deadline will be hard for me, I'll be back from holidays only a few days before deadline and I'm not sure to be able to race it this week as there's already last USL track+SDR tracks+ZS track to race/improve until I leave for holidays. We'll see...
• CTG
  USL: Duplode is still leading. Everybody is waiting for the very last minute (including me )
• CTG
  helmut
• Krys TOFF
  Helmut ? What do you mean CTG ?
• CTG
  I'll tell tomorrow. Or you will see.
• Duplode
  On another news, Kalpen results are confirmed (season scoreboard update). now it's official that I stole a podium place! ("stole" is proper considering the minimal gap I had to AbuRaf and how Krys' race got messed up). Now the battle for overall second place is *very* hot... And I'm waiting for Mark's magic replay, as usual!
• Krys TOFF
  Mmmm... Helmut Kohl ? Helmut Schmidt ? Helmut Lotti ? Helmut Leitner ? Or something more original like Helmut-ation ? Helmut-ilation ? Helmut-ineer ? Helmut-ual ? Helmut-ter ? So many possibilities...
• CTG
  Krys: !hint - I'm talking about Helmut W?rstchen.
• CTG
  But where's Mark?
• Mark L. Rivers
  Here I am! And I've just sent my USL replay. I'm sure your time is consistently lower than mine yet. But... if you forgot how you can drive the Ferrari GTO... well, you still have 30 minutes to beat my 1'04"15... Good night all!

Jul 24

• CTG
  I had 1:03.70 for ages, I lowered it a bit on the last day. Results: morning/afternoon?
• CTG
  !hint2: I was talking about Argammon.
• Krys TOFF
  Oh, Argy... Do you mean he won Kassa track ? It's a surprise then, indy is not his best car. Damn, I want to see USC and USL results !
• CTG
  USL is updated, USC results are coming in an hour. Double update is quite a lot of work...
• CTG
  USC is updated just in time.
• Argammon
  Krys, you should finally learn that I am a good racer and not a specialist of a few selected cars. I can cope with all cars in the game, maybe with the exception of the IMSA cars.
• Krys TOFF
  Well done Countach master, nice time at Kassa track ! Now I expect you to win new USC track raced with Countach. ;-)
• CTG
  Unless I persuade Zak and/or BJ to participate...
• Argammon
  I really don't want to sound cocky, but that would not worry me in the least. ;-)
• Mark L. Rivers
  Proceeding with order: USL - I knew I hadn't chances against CTG, but I'm happy for the bonus point being the best loser. Now the last round... Seeing the IRC-track for Indy, it will be hard for me to gift to CTG the final victory... Krys permitting, sure! USC: Really congratulations, Argammon! I know your skill after reading past races' results, and I'm happy to race against you for the first time... even if I would be more happy if your Indy skill was a bit lower... Btw: would you like to try in last 5 days of race the current SDR Indy track? I think you could find it really engaging and selective... and maybe I think to have more chances against you... But I don't want to forget Duplode: really congratulations for your strong time!! SDR: site is updated. Very low activity in last 10 days, but now only 5 days to the finish! It would be nice to see hot laps from other drivers, above all Indy specialists, on this overleaped (until here..) but really high quality Indy track... Well, now I disappear for other 4 days, and I'll return on the web (and on my PC...) only saturday night, just in time to race for USL and SDR... What to say again? Good racing to all!

Jul 25

• DieselJoe
  "...sound cocky..."
  As I philosophised about this word, I came to find, that if you had an adequately-sized cock, you would not have to polish your self-esteem by talking in this manner. Therefore "cocky" can not be the right description for your enunciation!
• DieselJoe
  btw I looked up the word and know the real meaning bla bla)
• Argammon
  I would guess you don't know the real meaning of the word as it comes from "rooster = cock ", the male hen! Anyways, even if it was just an expression, what is your point?
• CTG
  Diesel Joe - Argammon 1-0 (I think he knows the real meaning of cock, you just didn't get the joke)
• Argammon
  IMO the joke was a bit shallow. Anyways, why should I deal with persons who philosophy above other persons dicks (**y ?)

Jul 26

• Argammon
  About not above of course
• CTG
  Shallow or not, he reached that you got mad.
• CTG
  Else (due to Forum's death): Tour de France is just a bad cabaret. If I were the head organizer of this race I would stop it immediately. There's no need for a dope vs dope contest.
• Argammon
  Wow, great achievment. Escpecially since I had so much to do with him during the last years :O
• CTG
  But at least he likes beer.
• DieselJoe
  "what is your point?"
  I just wanted to point out, that my cock is bigger than yours. By the way you don't have to take everything I say seriously...
  Unless I talk about the enormous size of my mighty cock!
• DieselJoe
  Oh yes, and I would really like to drink a beer right now!
• CTG
  Diesel "Still Drinking Mighty Cock" Joe
• Krys TOFF
  Hi all. Some news regarding my web connection : it's still off and I finally managed to contact my provider and explain the problem (their hotline is already full). It seems a relay is damaged and numerous people around the town I'm leaving are without web access. It will take a week or so to be repaired. So, my last day to race is tonight and I'll send replays tomorrow from my job. then I'll be out. I'll leave then sunday for 2 weeks (holidays) and will be back 13th of august. I hope web access will be repaired when I'll be back, else I won't be able to join you until I go back to work, that is 20th of august. If you don't see any sign of me 14th or 15th of august, it will mean I'm off until 20th. Too bad for USC and WSC which deadlines are 19th of august then... We'll see.
• CTG
  I can give some extra days for Kom?rom track too.

Jul 27

• Krys TOFF
  SDR noRH replay sent yesterday, SDR RH and USL replays sent this morning (all sent from my job). It seems that my home web access may be back today, I'll tell you if it is because it would mean that I can race again tonight to try to improve a little bit more before going on holidays.
• CTG
  Fine. Shall I switch to manual gears or shall we fight in the classic way?
• CTG
  Lunatica song is really great but it doesn't fit in length to Yokohama winning replay. 2'24" intro starts (35 seconds before the intensive part!!!) and music finishes at 4'04". It's about 1.5 seconds shorter than the replay...
• Krys TOFF
  As you like CTG. According to the track, I'm not sure manual and auto gears will represent a big difference. Anyway, I'm faster than you are with auto gears. :-p But you'll be faster than me with manual gears I fear...
• Krys TOFF
  And my wife confirmed me a few minutes ago : internet is back at home, yeah ! So expect an improvement for USL tonight. ;-)
• Krys TOFF
  Regarding Yokohama video : reduce your intro part (Unskilled presents) :-p
• Krys TOFF
  Other possibility for the video : use the beginning of the song instead of the finish part, you'll have 2'24 available instead of 1'40 if you prefer. Else, make the replay start while song is still in "quiet" part. The "fast" part of the song can begin when car starts to get fast.
• Krys TOFF
  Oh damn ! I just saw the USL update. My replay is a few milliseconds too slow. I really HAVE TO improve tonight. I'm lucky my home web access is finally back then. ;-)
• Krys TOFF
  Last info : don't expect USC replay nor WSC improvement until I come back from holidays. Tonight will be for USL and ZS improvements (or at least, attempts of improvement...)
• CTG
  Yokohama video is uploaded, waiting for the confirmation.
• CTG
  the link
• CTG
  Damn it was better on my computer, now i hear the sound of the engine and it cuts the last second of music - while it worked fine at me.
• CTG
  New link to Yokohama video, I tried to fix the problems:
• Krys TOFF
  CTG : one sentence is written twice in Yokohama video publisher comments : "In the fifth round of UnskilledStunts League the two leaders of the competition - Dottore and CTG - met on a damned fast track wit" needs to be removed at the start. Anyway, nice video and nice music : you adjusted it very well as replay stops just when singer stops and the remaining music is just perfectly timed with final comments. ;-D Good work.
• Bonzai Joe
  Hi, I'm back. I can tell you Zakstunts doesn't work from China. Not going to race on this track (too boring and aggravating!) but hope to make some horrible replays on the next tracks. I hope you're having a great summer with beautiful days and nights! See you on the scoreboards

Jul 28

• CTG
  Welcome back BJ, race on Kom?rom track in USC and beat Argammon.
• CTG
  Krys: improve if you can/want, I'm staying at the current lap record as I was very busy this week and had no mood to race.
• Bonzai Joe
  Am I the only one for whom the forum doesn't work? I get "database error"
• Krys TOFF
  Forum is out of order since 2 weeks BJ... CTG : regarding improvement, I sent one yesterday at the beginning of the evening, but it will be hard for me to find time today, I'm preparing everything with my wife for the holidays.
• Krys TOFF
  Very last improvement for USL sent, no time for ZS improvement. Bye bye everyone, see you 14th of August. Krys.

Jul 29

• Zak McKracken
  I survived 3 weeks in Europe and am back! I'll fix the forum now, but I need some time to arrange all my stuff at home, and then I'll also care about the site
• DieselJoe
  Welcome back!

Jul 30

• CTG
  usual thing: my replay latest replay is invalid because i forgot to add the 3 seconds penalty time. please remove it (it did not change ltb contest as i announced this fact just after the replay sending).
• CTG
  here is the correct result
• CTG
  I guess Argammon is hiding something here...
• CTG
  1:10?
• CTG
  USL is updated.

Jul 31

• We have a hot summer (and a cold winter for some :)) and a quiet race - not many of you liked the Offroad track. Nevermind, CTG stilll had a nice victory - and also the +2 LTB. He is on the way of winning this season, which only has 2 tracks left.
  One is Brain Work - the current one. Try to find the fastest way!
• Duplode
  Well, I have no courage to hide a 0:05 improvement ;-). At the moment I'm doing a last attempt, but even IF I get to finish it there will be NO radical route changes. SO, probably its proper to give congratulations to CTG OR to Mark OR to a mysterious time hider ( )
• CTG
  First rule: never say the truth when deadline is coming. Second rule: never believe the opponents just before the deadline. So: I won't improve because I'm too busy, undermotivated, etc. On the other hand this silence made me think that Argammon, Ayrton, Mark and maybe you are going to overtake me at the end.
• CTG
  I really won't improve, I reached the limit and I have many things to do today. What's more I'm a very slow driver and I have no chance even for the TOP5. My final time is on the scoreboard and I'll be happy with 10th place too.
• CTG
  last shot
• CTG
  very last shot...
• Duplode
  Well I still have ten minutes or so...
• Duplode
  So, I'm off to class (innaugural of Instrumental Analysis). See you after deadline!
• CTG
  Damn I restarted the track with bad car color... :-S I'm too superstitious in Stunts, I have to restart driving with a red Audi.
• CTG
  wrong replay again, this special rule makes me mad in replay sending too...
• CTG
  I'll be defeated in 60 minutes.
• CTG
  checking visitors list i saw duplode and argammon...
• CTG
  argie is a dirty hider
• CTG
  mark will win, argammon, duplode, alain, ayrton, mingva, myron and others will finish ahead of me
• CTG
  final time
• CTG
  update?
• Zak McKracken
  in progress!
• CTG
  only 7 racers, no zak on the scoreboard... what happened? :-S
