Steve & I are very sorry

Steve and I would like say a big sorry to anyone that had spent time painting and preparing cars for any of Dawg's series and that had made an effort to turn up to his races. We had no clue he was just going to remove all his stuff and not race anymore and because he just removed everything it gave us no chance to find anyone else to run them or to even run them ourselves. We gave Dawg all we could and for him to do things in this way and to remove us from his friends list etc I personally feel kicked in the stomach by his schoolboy antics. That being said we have asked Sublime and Twstd along with help from Oz if they would continue to sort and run the IMSA series to which they both agreed and Twstd has also got his Speedking status back, which has been on the cards for ages lol. Also just a heads up in light of whats happened Steve and I with a consultation of some other guys are looking at yet another rule which would meen members can only run 1 series at a time and must have a right hand man in the background to help out etc. We will keep you all posted as soon as we have sorted the finer details. We hate having to add more rules etc but as im sure you appreciate in this instance we feel we need to protect our members etc. Once again we are very sorry guys we honestly had no clue til it was all done.

Sorry all

Del & Steve

It's a shame he left, I'm outta town so I don't know if he's removed me from his friends list or not, and giving no reason for him leaving like that is a bit out of the blue.. but what's done is done I guess.

People come and go, but Realistic Racing will carry on, move forward, and remain a haven for clean Xbox sim racers.

Well said sir

I'll miss running in Dawg's series. They were a lot of fun and had some pretty awesome car choices to go with them. But, like Owen said previously, we've got to move on and we've got to continue having fun racing with one another. Yay, I've also got my Speed King status back again, lol. Took a while Del, geez man, lol. On a serious note, thanks Del and Steve for making me a Speed King again. I'll do anything that I can to help you two and the others out on this site.

TY buddy we appreciate it

Can I have a speed king status too?

I can't say that I'm shocked dawg did what he did to be honest. He had put a lot of time and effort into his series and when 10 people show up the first race and 4 for the second to last I'm sure it discouraging. I tried taking over his series when he was leaving Realistic but he had already deleted them. Thankfully I have most of the cars built for his Vintage Trans-AM Series. I know a few people signed up for that and when I can I will be re-posting that series. It won't be soon but it wil be back. Anyone who was interested in that series or wanted to join it please PM me with your car choice's. I think I have most of them but if anyone can remeber what exactly was posted PM me that as well. I don't want to clog up this discussion.

Realistic will move on as it did when petey left. Dawg could have gone about it a different way, especially deleting all his information but that was his choice. I do think that anyone who wants to run a series will learn from his mistakes and it will make the site & racing better.

Very well said Sniper (btw, I sent you an unrelated PM - hope you can help).

It does suck, but there's nothing we can do but continue on.
