I hate to act like an admin here, but was this approved by Cynon?

No, but I will if I have to. Why?

Just asked him via PM. Waiting back for his reply.

You can't just say that your driver ran in a league (mention-only league in this case) that was made by somebody else without their permission to do so.

Well at least now I know that for the future. I apologized to him for that in the PM. Still waiting back on the reply.

Lycoia Motors to Team Quest: Look Elsewhere for your quest to seek the ARLA championship

Apparent major paperwork errors involving crude drawings and writing in crayon, among other things. Lycoia Motors alerted Team Quest that their apparent 'requests' for a Lycoia Bodykit and engine were ultimately denied.

"With all due respect to the owners of Team Quest and their crew, we have to respectfully decline your requests of acquiring equipment from our company. Your paperwork, which seems to be filled out multiple times by what we believe is a 6 year old, was not sufficient enough to make it pass by the first level of our document inspection department. If you cannot take a simple paperwork filing seriously, we doubt that you have the capabilities to properly run a team. We are actually quite shocked that when reviewing paperwork, we found that Team Burr was actually halfway competent in their paperwork filing.

Also, it seems that your so called fans keep damaging cars and injuring personnel and customers around the area of your supposed shop, please, if you wish to even have a shot at getting any serious support from any manufacturer, get your team's you know what together."

OOC: I'm doing this because it's completely out of my (and by extension Lycoia's) character. It seems that your team, along with your driver is on the Jahgee level of Suspension of Disbelief. Don't take it as if I hate you or don't like you, it's just for fun and storyline reasons.

Ceej, please don't ban Lycoia or my team (or other drivers) from ARLA (or me in general) for this post.

Team Quest Accuses Lycoia Motors of sabotage, future with manufacturer for 2014 in jeopardy

Upon hearing the news of the statement made by Lycoia Motors, Team Quest owner and driver Gregory Alexander had this to say:

"I highly doubt that any of the crap that came out of the mouths of the guys at Lycoia Motors is true. Look , I know my handwriting isn't perfect, but there no way that it was so unreadable that it was worse than that of Team Burr's. I'm pretty sure the people at Lycoia Motors purposely sabotaged our paperwork so they wouldn't have to use McCallister's TM Canada legitimacy investigation as an excuse. If that was their reason, they could've just said so. But to release this bulls*** is just f***ing classless. Now I regret to inform them that we will be using their cars for this year, but as of right now come 2014, we'll be taking our team to another manufacturer unless Lycoia Motors decides to fess up and be completely honest, which is a damn shame because I was looking to build a racing dynasty with Lycoia. Unfortunately, right now, that doesn't look to be the case."

Oxymoron?!

Alexander adresses personal TMPedia page, plus investigation update

After seeing that he got his own TMPedia page, Gregory Alexander, although excited about getting one, wasn't too thrilled about some of the stuff that was put on it. He also adressed the investigation of the legitimacy of his teammate Mattias McCallister's TM Canada background. This is what he had to say:

"Am I happy that I got my own TMPedia page? Yes! Am I happy with some of the stuff that was put on it? NO! NO! NO! Some f***ing douchebag put me up for "Suspension of Disbelief". How DARE they?! Go and make me out like I'm some f***ing liar! Somebody obviously doesn't want me here just cause of the fact that I'm a defector from another professional sport. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it! And the worst part about it is they don't even have the balls to say it to my face! Then again, who would want to tell that to a 6ft 4in 245lb guy like me? I was legitimately given an offer to play pro baseball at the age of 13, and I seized that moment, no lie. Therefore, I demand that this "Suspension of Disbelief" be taken off my page AT ONCE!!(Seriously I'm kinda pissed about that) Also, to called "the black, male version of Allie Riggs" is completely ridiculous. I'm not angry ALL the time! You guys just haven't given me the chance to show my softer side. I want that taken off as well!(Don't take that off). And for cripes sake can SOMEBODY PLEASE add McCallister to my team and get our g**damn schedules right on the page for the upcoming season!? (Please?) Speaking of McCallister, regardless of whether or not his TM Canada background is legit, he will still be driving my #52 car. I've seen what the guy can do behind the wheel, and he's a damn good driver."

As for the investigation, it should be wrapped up in time for the season opener (Or whenever Cynon replies to my PM, which hopefully is sooner rather than later because I really wanted to add all of McCallister's other stuff such as paint scheme, FaceMaker image, and victory theme beforehand. Guess I don't have the luxury of that anymore.)

P.S. I already know TMPedia doesn't exist in the canon. It's all strictly for storyline purposes.

Relax, it was all for "storyline purposes".

I don't know what to make of this. Whatever it is, please stop doing it.

Well, I guess I'll try to help with that by pulling the plug on the investigation storyline myself.

Rogue reporter sabotages McCallister's background story

After days of investigation, it is revealed that Mattias McCallister's background in TM Canada was false, as many had speculated. This was all caused by news reporter Chad Maddox. Maddox, who had allegedly been very angry at his news station, claiming they cheated him out on the terms of his contract, tried to get revenge by mixing up the background story for his next report, which just happened to be the announcement of McCallister being signed as the 2nd driver for Team Quest. Maddox had put down that McCallister had been driving in TM Canada for the last 13 years, winning 25 races in the series. In reality, McCallister had won over 25 championships in various Canadian racing leagues (NOT TM Canada, or any series in the TM Canon). Maddox has reportedly been fired from his contract and the news station has issued a public apology to McCallister, Team Quest, ARLA, TM Canada, and the station's loyal viewers. McCallister, who has been cleared of any wrongdoing, posted this on his Twitter, @RealMattyMac (Not an actual Twitter account):

"When reporters asked me about this TM Canada mumbo jumbo, I had no idea what they were talking about. Not wanting to make them look foolish on live television, I chose to just roll with it."

When Team Quest owner/driver Gregory Alexander was informed of this, this is what he had to say:

"Y'know, I've always had a love/hate relationship with the media, and this is exactly why. I love talking to these knuckleheads but I can't stand the bogus crap they put down sometimes. Well, anyways I guess there's another scandal we can talk about and post on TMPedia. I call it "TM Canadagate".

(Whew, finally glad to get this over with.)

McCallister to fall back to reserve slot

It has been announced that Team Quest driver Mattias McCallister will not be driving the #52 car this year. The cause of this is due to "time constraints", as the team was forced to build an extra set of cars that could not be completed on time. Instead, McCallister will be the reserve driver for Gregory Alexander's #55 car.

Texas propane chain to sponsor Robert Leckliter?
Strickland Propane, one of the biggest propane chains in Texas is going to sponsor the #110 of Robert Leckliter for his 2013 ARLA Elite Series season. Leckliter is going to run in the Tornado Alley Trophy and run the season opener at Lakeland and Texas Motor Speedway because of contract obligations.
