Yea, the open ocean in gen 1 is barebones as hell. Taking a look back to where we’ve come from 11 years ago it’s staggering how much content this game has gotten, as well as how it continues to redefine itself.
Ark has its fair share of issues, game breaking down to just irritations, but props to wildcard for sticking with it and making it worthwhile for the players who put up with the occasional bullshit.
VMSA has wrapped up in Autoclub and is rolling into Pocono for the Tricky Triangle 200. Raw speed and clean execution decided how this race shook out.
P3 was the #9 Napa Chevrolet Camaro driven by myself.
P2 was the #77 Ziegler Chevrolet Camaro driven by DuckMilker
P1 was the #12 Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet Mustang driven by Specter.
Specter is 3 for 3 so far in his VMSA starts, thanks to this we are putting out a $20 bounty for whoever can beat him heads up. Either be faster than him, or win through strategy. If he’s taken out of contention by incident then no one claims the bounty.
Friday night’s schedule:
7:30pm EST - Practice.
8:25pm EST - Single car qualifying.
8:30pm EST - Green flag, 80 laps.
Come and take your swing at one of the best AMS2 stock car drivers Friday night.

VMSA is rolling into SoCal for the Rest in Pieces 200 at Autoclub Raceway tonight. This is on the heels of 250 miles at Daytona, winding up with fuel strategy as the deciding factor for the win. 3rd place was taken by the 35 machine of Award, running out of fuel on lap 98. 2nd place was taken by myself, driving the 9, as I was pushing the 35 when it ran out of gas, giving a 2 second lead and a win to the 12 team driven by Specter.
Tonight’s schedule:
7:30pm EST - Practice
8:25pm EST - Single car qualifying
8:30pm EST - Green flag, 100 laps.
In addition to the high paced action at this multi groove 2 mile D shaped oval, we have heavy hearts in remembrance of Kyle Busch. Autoclub was the site of Busch’s first cup series win on September 4th 2005. Tonight we race for Kyle and keep his family in our hearts.
We are always looking for more drivers, so if you’re at all interested in stock car or oval racing feel free to swing by our discord! https://discord.gg/CCNs2APW2v
Howdy y’all! VMSA is coming back for season 2, and we’re looking forward to another season of fantastic racing!
Last season concluded with an epic duel at Texas Motor Speedway between myself and one of our series regulars, Tim. Coming into Texas I was in a must win situation to take the championship. After 130 laps of 180mph chess it all came to a head with a beatin bangin door rubbin finish, and by .008 seconds myself and the 9 team took the season 1 title.
There are a few changes that we are making for this upcoming season:
Instead of a weekly series we now run every other Friday, life gets busy as is and we want this league to be something to look forward to, not dread. In addition to that we are continuing our 2 drop rule! Your lowest 2 results (including races you’ve missed) will be dropped so when life gets in the way or if you have a bad race, you will still have a shot at the championship!
We are starting our races a little later too, green flag at 8:30pm EST, practice going live around 7:30pm. This is intended to just give people more room to breathe, I personally was having to rush home from work and it was getting stressful for myself, so I can imagine it was getting stressful for others
We have switched out both of our road courses, Sonoma and Fuji are in! I think these will put on some fantastic racing, I’m especially excited for Fuji as in our testing, stock cars race incredibly well here!
