Barton Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Congrats to Hotlead for a good streak! I was one away from ACE, too, DAMMIT! Oh, well. I had some serious fun with those twin guns in Fred's F.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5_Hotlead Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks Klaiber and Barton! It will be my honor to wear it. Wish we had an emoticon for "Salute!" S! Sgt. Kappel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler Mithel Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 S! Good job Hotlead, sorry your record was cut short due to a collision with me of all things. Oddly enough, I remember saying last week that I would be sure to cover your 6. Well you were definitely clear and I would like my goggles back. I think they are on your engine somewhere out in Russia. Next time we will have to talk about which way we are going! All the fun of learning how to mold together. S! well earned J5_Hotlead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you could bury me with it on...if you could find my body I guess. S! Good job Hotlead, sorry your record was cut short due to a collision with me of all things.

S! well earned Oh so that's what killed my engine! I had assumed it was simply the impact of two opposite forces in motion each traveling towards each other at the rate of about 70 mph. Seriously though, thank you for the compliment. I appreciated how gracious you were about it right after the event too. And as far as teamwork...yeah, hopefully better luck next time.
