After being taken out of 90% of the races that I have been in for the last two weeks I think it is time to reconsider my being part of this crew. Although I enjoy racing with most of the folks that we race with it seems more and more peep do not race with respect anymore. I wish the crew well and hope it grows.

Well, that’s really to bad EMT. I really enjoy you being part of this crew and you have helped build it recently introducing your friends to us. It has been plain to see that you haven’t been happy racing with us for a bit now. You have openly spoke your mind towards other crew mates in regards to you being taken out or not waiting for you to regain position. I find it hard to believe that crew mates would purposely take you out and not wait. We all get taken out at times but just bite our tounges as our friendships mean more than winning a race. Can you name the last time that someone else from crew has spoke or acted un gentlemanly towards another crew mate?? I can’t. We all love racing competitively but leave all seriousness aside when it comes to trading paint. Lag is a huge issue as we all got the shitty end of the stick tonight but continued to hang out and work through it. Take a few days to cool down and think about reconsidering your decision as we all enjoy your company. Cheers

100% with Grassy on this one - the crew and friendships formed over the years are ten times more important than the technical issues encountered last night, although I do understand your point of view.
The lag issues last night nearly sent me over the edge and I think I should have put the controller down and realised it wasn't my night, but that's called rage quitting and I didn't feel comfortable with that either. I have no idea why it was so bad yesterday, and I was surely part of that mayhem, so apologies to anyone who got smashed or rammed off the track, but that also happened to me as well.
In addition to this, EMT, I start every race at the back of the grid no matter what I do - I can't figure it out - and that makes it doubly infuriating - always fighting through the pack against less experienced racers and regularly being out of contention. Try that every race.
I'm therefore going to ask if Grassy and the crew if they will consider a non-contact lobby from time-to-time when there are really busy sessions like last night?

With that said I will think about it Grassy. I will say that in most cases it is not a Cree mate that takes me out it is other that race with us on occasion. Maybe after the stress of open up my business is not as bad I can be a little more chill and come back to race.

You win some, you lose more. You get spun out, you do a little spinning out. At times the lag is real, and most don't seem to notice wether its them or the other person, and i realize the frustration in that, In the end its fun little game thats meant to take you out of the reality of your real life and enjoy some time away. Sure beats having to share controllers or play side by side on the same screen, like back in the old days. Hope to see you back soon EMT, your always welcome to our races.

A couple of the classic that have come through so far have made the last 3 months of struggle well worth it. Attachments:

Wow. Fantastic work EMT. They look like showroom quality. Been watching this guy on YouTube.....😀. All jokes aside I have learned a lot from apex on the paint correction side of the game. He would never admit it but probably one of the best in the game in my opinion. Thank you but still have a lot of perfecting to learn.

EMT, did you get into detailing before you knew Apex or did he inspire you to get into it?

EMT, did you get into detailing before you knew Apex or did he inspire you to get into it? my step dad has had a shop since I was 14 so I have been around it most my life. Did not get into paint correction until I watched his YouTube channel. I will say he inspired me to open a shop and do it as a job.

Good on ya man! Ive been fooling around with some detailing myself. I have a keen eye for details and detailed cleaning is part of my full time job, so ive tossed around thw idwa of doing a little side gig, but im trying to get as much practice as i can on my own or friends/work vehicles first. Ill say that Apex has helped guide me down that path with hos videos as well.

I’m super stoked that NSR has brought more to the table than what the game offers. Makes it all worth it to me.

Just start out simple. When the 💰 starts flowing in... Expand services little by little. Also ...specializing is a good way to keep it simple. Specialize in just paint correction...or coatings, or interiors. That way you only need to start out with certain tools and chemicals instead of needing absolutely everything for detailing.
