Xander's Garage (Issue 1) - Catching Up

Well hello and thank you for reading! Today I have a couple of things I'd like to share and introduce to everyone so just sit back, grab a drink, and read away.

UTI/Nascar Tech

  With August just around the corner, preparation is key right now. On August 23rd I'll be leaving for Mooresville, North Carolina to pursue my dreams of working for Nascar by building race cars or even becoming a pit crew member.

  All the way back on June 7th I had graduated from Lenape Tech, my tech high school I was attending from 10th to 12th grade. Since then I have been preparing and getting things set up for me to move in 3 months time. I soon got my driver's permit and have been working on getting my license so I can have transportation to and from Nascar Tech, just 7 hours away from my hometown in Pennsylvania.

  Just a week ago I had gotten my first car, the car I'd use for the next 1½ years or more. A 2003 Subaru Outback H6 3.0 AWD. The next 5 weeks leading up to the move would be getting this vehicle inspected and road ready and road legal so I can take the 7hr drive down to North Carolina.

RoRacing

  Not every day is spent preparing for college however. In the time between all this preparation, I have gotten into a new racing career. Roblox Racing, otherwise known as RoRacing, is defined as any organized auto racing events taken place in Roblox. This can be F1, Nascar, Rally, etc.

  I first ed Evan's league, the NRRL back in April 15th as a part time driver to see if I'd want to get into RoRacing officially or not. Just a few races into my career I captured my first win at Airbase Raceway, which was a substitute track that was used in place of Slinger Speedway. I did have a really great shot at winning the Daytona Road Course race, which was my first career race, until getting taken out on the final lap.

  I had ed the NRRL pretty late in the season and before ya knew it, it was over. There was about a 1½ month break in between seasons so I had to find other leagues to fill in the gap. The next league I had ed was the McDonald's Cup Series, another league that both Skylord and Evan had been participating in. I never did capture a win there but had really promising performances.

  Just a week after ing the MCS I also ed the RSCRA, which is now the largest RoRacing league in Roblox, and came just in time for the beginning of the season for Division 2 (Xfinity Series). I had gotten a g with Turn Right Go Left Racing (TRGL) and on my first race I captured my first RSCRA victory by winning the Daytona 350.

  I had also attemted to qualify for the Daytona 500 in Division 1 (Cup Series) and scored the pole position! So not only was I locked into the Daytona 500, I was also starting in 1st place!

  Since then I have had pretty good finishes, if you dont include the Homestead race we had did right after, which I'll say was my worst race. Later on in the season I eventually captured my 2nd win in D2 at Charlotte, now taking hold of the Most Wins record for D2 and still holding it today.

  Just last night I was invited to race in the 500 mile race at Talladega in D1 along with 2 other D2 drivers. This was the main test to see who was advancing up to Division 1 next season. After a long race of making my way up through the field and dominating, as well as taking the lead after making my way from 7 seconds back, I ended up finishing 3rd to 2 full time D1 drivers. They had wrecked across the line and I was catching them and almost ed them. Without a doubt, if they would have wrecked any sooner I would have taken the victory.

Into Something New

  After competing in over 35 races across 5 different RoRacing leagues, I figured I'd open up a new league, the Nascar Unleashed RoRacing Series (NURS). This league had originated in the Roblox game, Nascar Unleahed and with the help of a few s and s in the game, we successfully held races with a 14 driver roster.

  At about halfway into the season we had lost many of our in-game s and s to the game owner who had fired them. In turn, the NURS went through big changes. The name was changed to the Nascar RoRacing Series (NRS) and I developed our own racing hub to hold our racing events in. We switched to using car models from 2016 and even upgraded to an in-game leaderboard and lap timing system to help control races better.

  Now we are approaching the end of Season 1 in just two weeks and are now set to an even better season, Season 2. The reason it is so much better is not just the car models being upgraded to 2021 models, but also smooth deceleration, road courses, a longer more diverse schedule, etc.

  I had figured this would be one of my longer issues of this new series due to all the catching up I'd like everyone to know about, as since my absence from Nascar Amino. I think this new series can bring me back to being more active again. Thank you for reading and have a great day!
