A n00bish introduction

Hey I'm from New York. I love racing and anything that has to do with racing. I found this site when I was looking for NR2003 racing videos on youtube when I was bored. I saw videos of the ARLA elite series. I googled it and found this site. I'm not really sure what this site is. Is it a nr2003 offline league site?

I'm the biggest fan of NR2003 and am planning on joining the ARLA east and west series. Can you just sign up for any offline league that's running?

So that's about it. Can't wait to be a part of the community and kicking some butt and winning multiple championships .

AFTER POST:

Ok I'm starting to get it now. The TM Master Cup Series is like the Sprint Cup Series the main series. And the others series are there and you have to do well in them to make it into the Master Cup Series.

Welcome abroad. Few things to remember. Don't feed the troll, if you like Back to the Future navycook will love you, some of the people on here are completely insane, and watch out for my pet and EFR's mascot Herman.

Welcome, dude!

I have on quick question. Do I have to earn my way into the Master Cup Series by doing well in other series, or can I just join when the new season starts?

Also back to the future is ok, I wouldn't call it great.

Yes, you do. It's meant to be as realistic as possible. I would recommend starting in a lower tier like the Street Stocks, the Tornado Trucks, the RROL, etc...However, it's kinda tough joining in the middle of the year, because sign-ups are usually closed for most series. As for the TM Master Cup Series, it's for the most part invite-only.

Ok that's what I thought. I was just making sure. I'm already signed up for the street stocks so I'm going to start there. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Welcome to the EFR Forums!

Welcome

Hello Teambillpayer, can I call you that from now on please? Anyways, welcome to this forum.

Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay.

As for the TMMC, when the Indianapolis and Decatur one-off signups occur, you can apply to have your drivers in there. However, that is not a guaranteed entry. Your driver (if accepted); would have to go through qualifying races along with everyone else.

TeamBills, does that have anything to do with Buffalo, because my mom lives about 60 miles near Buffalo....

Welcome to our loving home!

Welcome, friend! Always good to have new members around. I'm Sparkz, and I'll be your waiter this evening.

Since you're new to our whole system, I would recommend looking around and getting into the swing of things, first of all. Maybe take a trip over to the TM Master Cup section to check out the Hierarchy of Motorsport:

https://efr1.forumotion.com/t1091-the-heirarchy-of-motorsport-2012

That list will show you what series rank in comparison to one another, and can really help you plan your way to the TM Master Cup.

We also have a meriad of great painters residing here, so be on the lookout for some of the best NR2003 paint schemes you've ever seen.

I hope you enjoy your stay here at our comfy little forum, and I look forward to having you around! Navycook should be finishing up your room right about now. I hope he remembered to put the little mints on the pillows this time.

Wow this has to be one of the friendliest forums I have ever been on

Sparkz47: I was looking threw those files. I must of missed the Hierarchy of Motersports thanks for showing that to me. I'm always looking for painted cars as I run a nr2003 league on my computer. (just me no one else like some leagues on the internet) And I'm way too lazy to create 60 cars per season. I'm always looking for people's cars I can take .

Navycook75: I live in a town about 30 minutes from Buffalo. I'm not even a fan of football anymore. I've just used the username so many times that I just use it for all sites I go on. My memory isn't that great so that's one less thing to remember. But I do have to thank my brain for helping me be a great creative writer .

Gwoodard41: Thanks, I was looking at the schedules and noticed those two races. I will definitely sign up for those. And that's good that I automatically don't make the race, I like a challenge!

Bartman97: You can call me whatever you want. As long as it's not loser, or John Edwards or something.

Conrail1990,unknownuser,Chives2212,BWardBoy88,Day500Champ1: Thanks

if you don't mind me asking, what town did you live in?

Orchard Park. I still live there. That would be crazy if she also lived there.

TeamBills wrote:Orchard Park. I still live there. That would be crazy if she also lived there.

no...I was born near a place called Dunkirk, and she lives in a place called Portland, but now I'm in Newport News, Virginia, but I will be living with my mom for a few months soon.....

Wow small world. My grandparents have lived in Dunkirk their whole life. My mom lived there when she was a kid. It's about 40 minutes from where I live. I go there once in a while to see my grandparents.

I've heard of Portland New York. It's pretty far away from were I live though. I think an hour and a half drive.

Welcome to EFR, good to have you on board.

I'm beginning to like you already.

oh and a small tibit of info, one of the races this year in Formula Overdrive (one of the leagues we have here) is a fictional track in Mayville, Ny, it's also where I went to middle school.....

Cool . Holland Raceway is pretty close to where I live. The Busch North Series used to race there. Let me change that the K and N East Series. I liked it better when it was the Busch North Series. Veterans like Kelly Moore, Dale Shaw, Dave Dion, Andy Santerre, Mike Olson, Brad Leighton. Now it's just nascar developmental drivers in cup equipment.

I have one question though about the Decatur race. I can't find it on nr2k3tracks. Is it a rfactor track?

You seem like a nice guy navycook. I just can't believe how friendly this site is. I will definitely be an active member here.

Same here. The K&N Pro Series-East just isn't the same anymore. Every once and awhile, I'll find an old Busch North Series race on YouTube, and I'll sort of re-live what that series used to be. I would spend every day in the summer time when I was about 7 or 8 watching all of those local series races when SPEED was just starting.

Hope to see you around, Bills.

Decatur is also known as Hawgenheim, most of the tracks that's used here are renamed from other tracks.....

That's another thing I have to complain about. Who are the people who decide who to give rides too? (rant time.)

I mean there are drivers out there like Brian Scott and Jon Wes Townley (well his dad's money is a big part but still) who are getting these great opportunists time and time again. Yet there are drivers like

Andrew Ranger: Winning on anything that has 4 wheels

Dave Mayhew: Career nascar results in decent equipment 3rd,3rd,7th, & 10th

Brian Ickler: Last two years in trucks 11 starts 4 top 5's 7 top 10's

Stephen Leicht: Nationwide Series: 2007 race winner during complete cup domination, 2008 5 Starts 2 Top 10's 2009 9 Starts 6 Top 10's, and don't forget his one race in cup 24th with TBR. But now he has to start and park.

Plus other drivers that never got a chance.

Andy Santerre: Yes he wasn't good in 98 but they shouldn't of fired him after one season. After 1998 (not counting when he was in junk) 21 Races 1 Win 2 Top 5's 5 Top 10's. He was dominate in the Busch East Series.

Mike Stefanik: In 1997 and 1998 he ran the Busch North Series AND the Modified Series. He has to miss a modified race because of the schedule and still won the title. Imagine how impossible this was.

Modified 1997:
22 Races 10 Wins & Championship
1998:
22 Races 13 Wins & Championship

East Series 1997:
21 Races 2 Wins & Championship
19 Races 4 Wins & Championship

He had one chance in the trucks finished 13th with 9 top 10's and then was fired after one season.

But if you look at the history of the team that's the best that the team has ever done. 4 Time winner and someone who finished 6th and 7th before in final standings Rick Carelli couldn't even do that good.



I have to say that rant felt good to get out. I feel a lot better. I'm usually not that angry. I have problems .

Ok I know what that track is.

thta could of gone in the Racing Rumor section, but since your new....

and we are a friendly site, as long as you follow the rules, but that's obvious. you'll fit in just fine here.

Welcome to EFR, I'll tell you that if you wait around, see if any open spots for a league open up and apply a driver, you may get lucky

Whoa! Slow down there. He might be able to get a driver entered into a series, but saying that he "may get lucky" is completely out of our control.

We can't exactly provide that kind of service, and we won't tell you (publicly) where to get that either.

Welcome to the forums though.

Are you joking or are you serious? It seems like most of the leagues started out around February. If your not kidding I would like to know what leagues you are talking about. It seems like all the leagues are already starting their seasons.
