A change. I think it is needed. With Ebony seemingly going away for good, we need to figure out a way to get the RP going without her, or in the long run, we have shot ourselves in the leg.
Sapphire: Since the race has hardly begun, it is easy to actually scrap the idea that Sapphire is in the piston cup. Existing relationship with the character can be though exercised, unless they directly collide with the Track Time RP.
Slick: With the complex knot with him and Kamui Exan, it would be best if he would be just puppeted by someone else. If no one else would want it, I will see what I can do, unless Kamui has some other ideas which involve Slick.
Norman Malvaso: Though Kamui's creation, and played by Kamui, his heavy ties with Sapphire can make it difficult to keep him. Either he would shift his focus on a number on another played-controlled character, or be generally creepy insane, everything-to-win character, even though we already got Chick for it. Normal is the kind of car that goes for it completly without denying, while Chick tends to be at the sidelines and denies everything.
Is there a character I forgot?

I don't have any plans for Slick yet. But I do need someone to RP him for me.
As for Norman, just have someone tick him off for him to reshift his focus. And Sapphire, we could say that her injury put her on the outs then. But what about the Boost-Phoenix complication?

You guys are NOT obviously doing anything to help me stay on. Some friends you are.

GWAH! I thought you were gone for good? You certainly put it across that way....
Okay. Now I'm officially confused! You want to leave but you want to come back? Which one is it? Please tell me before I break a brain or something.... -_-;;;

I really needed a break. I was tired, sick, and could only concentrate on one RP. Everyone was making it way too hard for me to even keep up or even think of something.

*Headdesk* Then please just say you need a bit of a breather and say you'd be comming back later instead of saying that you're quitting or something along those lines. Let me put it this way - We're the world's WORST mind-readers. TV psychics poke fun at us all the time and bend spoons just to mock us. So you really have to tell us what's going on and be a little more clear about it. We can't read your mind (Or anyone else's unfortnately) so you really have to tell us. Otherwise, we're just plain confused and our brains fly out the window and at that point, we all have to walk outside in the snow to try to collect them before they fly away again.

Okay, I just think it's "that time of the month" for you two, so I'll let you girls figure this one out. I'm no negotiatior, though at some point I did have to juggle no less than five RPs on three different boards. That point is gone but you kinda get the...point. X.=.x

Okay, I just think it's "that time of the month" for you two Giggah shwah? Er.. no.... >.> <.< ;; But I do admit SOMETHING has to be done in order to avoid huge scale logjams in the future. I know we have a storyline planned, but maybe we might need to bump the sabatoguer plot to qualifiers day in order to get things moving. ~Kamui.EXE

I hate to be mimicing EbonyViper, but I will be doing it since none of my characters are tied up with the main plot. But if this will go unresolved, IE no activity of major breakthrough in around three days, I think I will leave. Not just Track Time, but from the board in general.
At least I know that nothing major will be screwed up when I leave.

I still haven't thought of anything. And I have no idea how the qualifiers are supposed to go about because I'm not quite up to par with how NASCAR does it. So that means I will have no idea with what's going on.
And I still don't have an "in" for any of my characters, including the ones I'm taking care of for Insane.

We don't need to follow NASCAR. Hell! Pixar didn't exactly follow it either! So here's how I think the qualifiers work:
Let's just say we start off with 100 cars - 50 in each heat or race. You have heat A and heat B so everyone gets a chance to strut their stuff. In order to qualify to race in the Piston Cup, you have to place in the Top 50 times. So racers compete for the fastest times and NOT just who comes in first. Only the Top 50 racers with the best times will have an in.
There. Nice, clean and easy. ^^
Anyways, Elizer, I don't want you leaving either, okay? You're still wanted!
Ebony, as far as your "in," you can probably use the qualifiers to give you a bit of a footing with Sapphire. This could also help with some drama on the track too. I'm not quite sure what. I'm going to have to think. ^^;;

Alright... So how many laps should there be? 100? 200? Or half as many as the Piston Cup (or the Dinoco 400?) has?
I believe that Sapphire is fully recovered from redlining. She may be a little bit more cautious, but would still race despite the danger. Sapphire would be more alert too.
Phoenix (she's Insane's character) - for her, this would be her very first time, so that basically makes her a rookie. Sapphire would probably take her under her 'wings' and try to give her tips on racing professionally.
I could get my three tuners together to play that prank on Glimmer as well.

Heh! Tuner pranks! I was wondering when you were going to get to that! XD That would rock!
I think the Dinaco 400 has.... well 400 laps. I seem to remember that from somewhere. But half the amount sounds good to me. But since 200 laps would be long for an RP, we might need to condense it a little bit. Oh! And I can have Norman being creepy too!
