Hello to the Nitto Legends community. This month’s spotlight was indeed my first official spotlight and I would like to give a thanks to all of the people who have supported me ever since I received my spot. Big thanks to Phusion and SER SPECV for training me to become a skillful journalist. Now back to this month’s spotlight.
This month’s spotlight was the “Reaction Time(RT) Spotlight“. It was hard for me to make this decision and it took me a good while to narrow down the good racers because there was an excessive amount of racers who brought their “A Games” to my spotlight rooms. I was mostly judging on how many good RT’s you could get in a row. That’s mainly what the spotlight was about, consistency. JA Tuner on the other hand showed that getting good RT’s was no challenge for him. He basically visually showed me the definition of reaction time! And for that, JA Tuner has won this month’s spotlight.
I contacted JA Tuner and conducted an interview reflecting the spotlight and I asked him a few things to get to know him a tad better.
Here is the 411-
Q: Hey JA Tuner, you were chosen specifically for this spotlight because you showed great consistent RTs and had those magical qualities that I was looking for. How do you feel? Did you think you were going to win it?
A: Wow, my mind is a total mess right now. I am totally overwhelmed. Words can’t express the emotions flowing through me right now. It was a real competitive spotlight because a lot of the top bracket racers participated. When I started to doubt myself, Esco JA would be there annoying me on NIM saying that I should try a little harder. Thanks bud.
Q: How long have you been playing Nitto Legends for?
A: I started playing Nitto Legends in the later part of July 2007; hence it has been approximately 9 months. I saw it on the cover of Super Street Magazine. Lol. Funny enough, I’ve not purchased another copy since.
Q: State your first and last name. What's your age? What do you do for a living?
A: Name: Andrae Stewart. Age: 22 yrs young. Occupation: Final year University Student. Completing a Bsc. Degree in Information Science
Q: Tell me how you prepared to participate in this spotlight?
A: I raced Bracket KOTH a lot with my team 300 Degrees Racing. Used the practice track to get more accustomed to my car.
Q: How do you picture Nitto in a year or so?
A: In a year Nitto should have a real competitive environment. With new players signing up every day, they will have the zeal to be the best while the old school players will have to do what they do best to stay on top. I hope that we'll have a cheater and lag free Nitto. That’s my ultimate dream for Nitto.
Q: If you were to be an Admin for a day, what feature would you implement into the game?
A: Oh man this is so hard. That feature would be Team Racing. But seeing that its about to be implemented, I would like an invisible mode for NIM. Lol. I would add the Honda Civic Type R too, all in one day.
Q: What tips do you give to the racers out there on how to get good RT's? Anything that can maybe help you out?
A: Practice makes perfect. To be the best at anything takes hard work and dedication. I personally do some runs on the Practice Track or KOTH before I go racing in rooms. It gives me a feel for the car.
Q: I see you make your own setups. How do you manage to create your setups and get consistent RT's in them?
A: I prefer cars with a high redline, that’s why I drive mostly Hondas. I am used to launching them. Just got to know your car really.
Q: What do you think of the new Team Racing feature?
A: That’s so hot!!! For real though, it's totally amazing, cant wait for the full version to be released. I think it will be an awesome addition to the game. Once again, a job well done Admins.
Q: Camaro or RX-7 Prem?
A: Um RX-7 Prem. Not really a Domestic fan.
Q: Do you own a car in real life? If so, what car? Do you wish you had any of the virtual cars on Nitto in real life?
A: I got a 94 Lancer with a 4g91 swap; however I am trying to get a 2002 Civic Type R this summer though. Of all the cars in Nitto at the moment, Id rather have the S2000 or the Type R. I so love those cars.
Q: Anyone in particular that you would like to thank or give a shout out too?
A: Yea sure. First I would like to say thank you to Ichiban and the other Admins for the hard work they are doing. I don’t complain about the small problems, because I can appreciate the big things they’ve done. To you, Danny, for hosting this spotlight. My team 300 Degrees Racing, Feel the heat, you guys are truly my buds. Love each and everyone of you. I don’t want to start calling names, so shout out to all my friends but most of all to Craig aka Esco JA, Big up mi bredda, wi gaawn a lead ya now. To Di Worl.
Well thank you JA Tuner for taking your time to answer my questions. I hope you feel frantically proud of yourself for earning this title! I hope you enjoy your new badge. :)
Take care.
