It was really great fun racing Rom last night. I did not veto barrel rolls because, as much as they've ruined the franchise for me, I didn't think it would change the results.

At one point Rom asked if I wanted to try a slower speed class than phantom.

"Vector?" I suggested, but HD doesn't have parking mode.

I really appreciated Rom stepping down to Rapier for me, and I'm happy I got a win on my favourite HD track, even if it was due to a lucky quake/missile pick-up combo.

I had such a good time racing that it's a shame my participation in the cup has come to an end, but Rom wiped the floor with me and it's clear he has the talent to continue toward the finals. Best of luck to you, my friend!
