Yes Joe. Welcome to the Red Barons. I will start a chat when the line-up is complete. Our primary colour is Blaze Red. Purchased via RX7 GTX (FC) '90 $24K. I know there are a couple of us that are partial to the Fluro red run by HTO AMG Racing.
It's not like I didn't try to retain you Joe, your driving skills had you in demand but I just couldn't stretch the budget for a 3rd div 3 driver. Best of luck in s5, now I have to race against you Treat him well @skywalker Sorry it was @VARDZ that poached you, well there you go
Joe has been signed to Hi-tec oils Racing but there has been a change in captains and personel...Basically what was RZR is now HTO and Vice versa.
@SPL Racing you couldn't cough up the extra $10 to hold onto Joe?? You know drivers went for $110 last season? So an extra $10 is nothing.
Were the budgets bigger last season? There was also the bonus round with more cash. Im hoping it doesnt get to insane this time... lots of drivers to still sign!
Joe will look great in RED!!! Extra rounds were from outside of budgets to get as many into teams as possible
Budgets are slightly bigger this season although we do require 1 extra driver. Total money in the pool last season was $2520 this season its $2590.
I didn't poach him " I acquired his services knowing full well you had 2 in div 3 after the unchallenged retention round"
It wasn't an easy decision but I had to make a choice with $100 left in my budget and still to get another div1, div6 and two div 7 drivers so I can have 2 drivers in each division. Having retained 8 drivers over 6 divisions something had to give. It's in no way a reflection of his effort last season, I was hoping for a demotion so I could keep him but it is what it is.
Don't take this the wrong way but I highly doubt you'll get 4 drivers for $100. At the end of the day only 7 of your drivers can score you points. I personally prefer quality over quantity and my results last season shows thats a winning formula with our scoring drivers essentially being the same 6 or 7 every single round.
Yeah I'm picking up what you're putting down. We weren't far off last season and I have kept the same core group that made that possible and I feel that there are a bunch of podium drivers amongst them in their divisions. We will see how it all plays out tomorrow
Thanks SPL..won't lie, at first I was abit hurt I had not been retained but I think it just showed how much I like being part of this great club.Wish you and BHR all the best for the up coming season.
Don't get too attached to HTO Joe you'll be shifting to NLR next season once one of my div 3 drivers get moved up a div and a vacancy for div 3 opens up.
