Wrules and Wrinkles:Our event participation guidelines are very simple. We ask that all drivers race hard, fast and clean. Participants should control their cars as if they owned them and avoid in-race contact with others. If your actions disturb the forward progress of another driver we ask that you pull over or slow down and allow the other driver to regain his position ahead of you. Have fun!
Twas just before Chrstmas and all 'round the pond
It was time for some racing, time for TUNA to bond,
And what more appropriate? That TUNA Tradition,
"A Visit From St. Nick" - the fishy edition.
Seems it's just about time for the TUNA Yuletide trip,
When we pull out the Lancia - it's Santa Claus' "whip"
You don't need to paint it, but if that's your perspective;
You can make it all gaudy - or shiny, bright and festive.
I'm sure that you have one, if you've done that one race,
Cos it is the prize when you come in 1th Place.
Don't bother to "tune" it. Power/weight makes it a sleigh.
But any other modification is more than OK.
Brakes, clutch, and transmission you're allowed to adjust,
And aerodynamics? Feel free if you must.
But no bolt-ons or mod should be done to the engine.
And don't mess with the weight, no not even a smidgen
Sport Soft tires will be best as our tires for the day,
But if you want lesser tires, I guess that's OK.
Then we just need some Tuna together to school.
Racing fast, hard, and clean using the 3-B-B rule.
We'll begin with two tracks that were picked by the host,
When we change it will be to the one with votes most
So just when do you think that this race will occur?
On Monday Night, the 23st day of December.
The lobby Friends ONLY and Charlie the host,
Starting at 5pm. Time Zone? The West Coast.
If you don't know the car yet, I'm sure others do…
Older Tuna know that "Santa's Whip" is the clue.
Who will be there? I don't know yet. Has anyone seen Cip?
Is he still in G-T-A-V getting Nikki to strip?
Maybe Ronin? I don't know, 'cos he rarely leaves HOME?
Nosoks, Lastleaf, and Chevy. And there's Tanker and Chrome.
Come out No. Where's my Grill? And yes, Egg better scramble.
Come on let's get out there, time to mosey and ramble
There's Mondo and Lonestar. Ex, M-X, and D-M.
And Ninja, he's stealthy. Must look close to see him.
We need Dude, we need Rick, we need Feldynn and others.
Snake, Baked, Rek and Turbo… We need all Tuna Brothers.
Badaboya, Josh and Fried. And maybe TopEndTuna,
And I'm sure that in spirit will be Ucan and Croonah
If you think that your race suit makes your ass fat and frumpy.
I wanna see all the Tuna. Even you, Mr. Grumpy…
Who's still missing? Where's Cache? (otherwise known as Looney)
Cos it's time to get racey and sporty and tune-y
One guy who will miss this is Agent I bet.
Seems his copy of the game hasn't gotten here yet
But all Tuna are welcome, even Charlie from Austin…
And East Coast or West Coast? I'm confused, where is Boston?
Daniel, Doc and Zilla. And yes, 'Stepper too!
If one room ain't enough, then we'll open a few.
And Dawson and Wolfpak. No shit!?? There's the same?!
Who ever thought Tuna had more than one name.
And there's Ry, Jorge and Benz. Holy shit I am spacing,
And Boots it's winter in Canada so you should be racing.
If I missed anyone else, please don't you feel slighted,
It was accidental I assure you, Charlie's not one that's spited.
From Canada and England or Far East and the States…
This time to catch Tuna, one don't even need baits.
Whether looking for fun or for just a race fix
You know where you can find us… Online. G-T-6.
MasterG-T, Macek, Metal. And Phreak, Rev and Ooten
Gentlemen start your engines. It's time for some scootin'
On tracks that we've run on for years and know well,
And even some new ones that are giving us hell.
But we'll master them one day, and then we can savor it,
And who knows, maybe one of them will be our new favorite.
Just race fast, hard and clean but be careful don't spin it,
Lot's of back and forth action. Who can guess who will win it?
And when it's all over, when all's said and done,
You can bet that the Tuna had goos times and fun!
And I know this is true from the depths of my soul.
Because we're the TUNA, and that's just how we roll.
------------------
Watch this space. Charlie will be posting an evnet for December 23th using "Santa's Whip"...
We all got one in the process of making it online.
Stock weight/pp/hp (though tuning will be allowed. Hint hint...)
Sport Softs will be the tire limit.
We'll start up at DSS then migrate to HSR (reverse). After that we will VOTE on track changes. Charlie's 3BB rule will be in effect.
Don't be a humbug; join with us for fub and goos times.
