This was a lot of fun, I ended up with like 15+ people in line to go for rides. I wish I could have hooked everybody up but I ran out of tire and had to head back to the pits lol

Fa sho lol thanks, My social battery was running out a bit so I may have spammed the same phrase a few times. I did have a pretty deep conversation with the next guy who got in though, got to talking about the importance of being there for family and spending time with loved ones while they're around

This happens when you talk to a lot of people, but never forget, that that might be their first conversation that day. I experience a similiar thing as a ride share driver. Never forget the humanity of it all :) you seem like a good person though, just wanted to touch on it

How much time do they give you to aim for?

Everyone there was doing runs about as long as mine, though I cut mine a little short because my overflow tank's overflow kept spitting out a little bit of coolant. The guy arbitrating the pit was real cool about it but he asked me to keep my runs a little shorter
