OK Steve, I am here to do your VRC orientation. Here is what you need to know:
1. Ignacio and I are the fastest... by a HUGE margin. We don’t like to use the term “Alien” but we hear it so much that we have accepted it. We are also the funniest, best looking and more smarterer guys as well. We also like to swear a lot so don’t EVER *$% *&&# *^$% *!!! Get it?!!!!
2. There are a couple of super slow guys here, but for privacy reasons and to not hurt their feelings, we’ll call them “Koolian Rayban”, “Mitch Faster” “Skip Harrington”. We try to let these slowpokes win to make them feel better.
3. Nicknames vs Real names:
Marketcrash16 = Me, aka Tom
Depco = Chad
Tig Green = Matt
Mikeecz = Michael Foster
CJR33 = Julian
Acelain= Jean Simon
Ibby = Paul
Most of the other names are pretty straight forward.
4. At the end of races our tradition is pretty simple, some guys donut… the rest of us smash so watch your back!!
5. If you need a setup, guys are always willing to share. You have the C7 so Chad and Matt are your sources. Don’t think anyone else is running the C7.
Seriously, welcome. FYI I was super nervous my first race, so don’t even worry about it. I still get a bit nervous actually. My goal in my first race (as it is for many I found out) was not to wreck anyone. Once you get the first race out of the way, you’ll feel better.
