    That Was the plan not to panic and keep up the front with you. You did well to hang on. When the fast gyz caught up I diddnt defend I gave them room. My race was done theirs wasn't. `

    Thanks everyone.
    Was an amazing feeling just to be there.
    So happy right now, so thankful for the opportunity to run with you all.
    Watching the stream back was still holding my breath over the line.
    Congrats to all that raced, it's always going to be the highlight of my achievements at ROOZ just to be entered,
    Thanks as always to the Admin peeps for your work all year.
    Thanks to all the drivers, and a big thanks to the D3 gents.

    INCREDIBLE.

    What an absolute pleasure to get to orchestrate yet another ROC and for this to be such an unbelievable event to commentate and be apart of was seriously special. The closest finish in ROC history, as well as the tightest Top 8 in ROC history.

    Massive Congratulations to @Steve Neilson for a superb drive, I'll be pm'ing you the official ROC winners signature shortly. That photo finish was simply nuts.

    I had a ball last night at the ROC, thanks again for inviting me to partake. Just wanted to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Looking forward to many more seasons with you all.

    Holy cow, what a race! Congrats to @Steve Neilson with his nerves of steel. Well deserved.
    This was awesome to be a part of. Big thanks to @Viperzed for setting up the race plus the stream. I've never been in a race that was livestreamed with commentary, so that was cool, and you and Hat did a fine job.

    I'm very happy with how my race went, despite not winning. Although, I had an unfortunate incident with @Easyprey007 in the early laps. I didn't feel any contact and still don't think I can see any in the replay, so I'm not sure what happened. If it was a regular season race, I would have redressed without hesitation even though I was unsure, which I did do unnecessarily a few times last season. I feel pretty guilty about this as I probably should have given that place back. Sorry Easy.

    Next, I had to get past Emmo. I've learned in my short time with ROOZ that this is not easily done and last night was no exception. I eventually got him though. It was a tough but fair battle. Great racing @emmo46. Unfortunately with all the time spent getting past Emmo, I didn't leave myself enough time to have a go at getting past Steve, so 3rd was where I ended up after the div 1 guys caught up. I had a great view of that photo finish!

    I think that is my favourite experience with RaceOnOz to date. I drove just about as well as I ever have. That was a crazy finish and I'm just glad I didn't screw up. Hopefully I'll be back to the ROC as I'm now very motivated to win another championship. Nice way for us to finish the year. Hope you all have a nice break.

    Excellent handicapping @Viperzed , top 8 under 7 seconds apart. Although I think you may have misjudged mine by 3.3 seconds ;)

    @ControllaGod All good Mate well before the corner you lag punted passed me and were stuck in the wall. I thought you disconnected at the time. At My end I felt a big bump of track but all good.
