Its NASCAR where you would be allowed/forgiven for racing to get your lap back. Most other motorsports, ESPECIALLY in MX and SX I've noticed they expect you to lay down for the leaders.

We got up at relatively the same time, but Instead of letting me pass you (your being lapped), you tried to race me over the triple and we collided, causing us both to crash again.

Well, gonna have to disagree there, he saw me go by, he saw me go into the turn, then just took a straight line right into me.

It doesn't matter anyway...
So you called me a jack ass because of one instance where u hit me first which is not my fault. On my screen there was no blue bar saying i was being lapped so i took off. I play in first person so i cant see to my side. Im sorry we collolided off the triple but that was fault on both of us.

Oh well I am also pumped to say, I only crashed like 1-2 times under my own fault! haha
Its cool Sween no hard feelings. Im just happy to keep making mains lol and its just to much fun even if I do bad.

You do realize that the lap times in NASCAR between "lappers" and "leaders" are hundredths of a second.

While in SX/MX that difference could be a second to 6 seconds, huge difference.

Heat one was crazy and weird. Got off to a second place start behind Shack over the triple then got hit mid-air. Bunch of battles the whole way to the last lap (one clean pass on a 42, who then cut the track before going across the start to pass me back). Making it to a transfer, then killing myself at the end of the rhythm, then ruining everyone else's race, then barely getting a transfer :lol:.

Main I was down before the first turn last to go through, then had a worst lap of 56 and made it to second :).

Yessir, It's just a tough pill to swallow after years of other types of racing. So many dirtbikers are raised on the sport, it comes more naturally to not fight to keep your lap. I've had about 2-3 hours total track time. I didn't get to ride an actual MX track 'till I was like, 31-32, so I've basically learned the etiquette (on track at least) and how to ride in this sim, lol.

Thanks for the congratulations guys! Only had one tip over, and that was from sweeden trying to wheel tap over me in the first corner.

I was coming for you anyways, you never stood a chance! :P

I got seriously lucky, and am really surprised I didn't crash after I got into the lead. Didn't get nervous at all until Kyle noticed I was leading and started to pump me up, lol.

It's ironic that I won a hat since I've never worn a hat in my life, but I'm just looking at it as a trophy now, I'll hang it on my national championship trophy. :D How do I know what size to get just in case I ever try to wear it? I wear a size medium bell moto 8 which if I remember correctly when I measured my head would put me between 7" to 7-1/2" hat size. My choices are S/M or L/XL for the hat. Thanks!

Go with Small.

Usually smalls run from 7 to 7-3/8, and larges are above that.
I want to know what the actual measurements are for the damn hats. I hate the S/M L/XL because I'm dead in the middle. Bullshit. :/

Has the design to the track even been released to the public yet? If not I hope JLV can get it somehow!
