Hello racers of Nitto Legends! Before you go on reading about this month’s spotlight, I would like to let you all know that I (Phusion) have been secretly spotlighting one of our fellow racers. He is always on task and always wants his work to be perfect. He reports on Nitto events, contests, tournaments, and even spotlights! I would like to congratulate FAME GETTA as my secret spotlight for the next Nitto Legends Journalist. Over the past several months, SER SPECV and I have been pretty much "training" FAME to become a Nitto Journalist. FAME GETTA has been doing an amazing job. If Ichiban accepts, you might be seeing FAME GETTA typing in light blue pretty soon.

Now on with the spotlight! The entire spotlight was conducted by FAME GETTA. From watching racers to creating the interview, all credit goes to FAME.

This month’s spotlight was to demonstrate good skills in both H2H and BK. It took a good amount of time to narrow down all the good racers and make one choice. The spotlight consisted of being consistent in both H2H and Bracket. By this, it meant that the racer had to be hitting good RTs and ETs. If you demonstrated both consequentially, you would definitely fall in as a candidate for this particular spotlight.

After considering and looking at all types of racers race, it came down to Evo GT35r, Fr8train0805, and Cos. They all demonstrated good skills in Bracket and H2H racing. Cos on the other hand, showed that he deserved to win this month’s spotlight. He showed a good amount of consistent RTs and ETs and he had the most important thing of all, which is sportsmanship. He deserved to win this spotlight and I hope he enjoys having the title of The Most Consistent H2H/BK Racer.

So I asked Cos a few questions about the spotlight and got to know him a little better to share with the rest of the community.

Q: Hello Cos, Congratulations on winning this months Racer spotlight on the Most Consistent BK/H2H Racer.

A: Thanks a lot FAME. Wow I won the spotlight. This is so exciting =]

Q: How do you feel and what are your emotions at this very minute?

A: Well I'm surprised. I mean there was a lot of competition for this Spotlight. I'm so happy to win this specific Spotlight. I really wanted this one more than anything.

Q: What is your age? What do you do for a living?

A: I'm 22 years old, and I'm a techy for a software company. That's a plus since I can get on Nitto while I'm there.

Q: What is your first and last name?

A: My name is Marcos Ortiz, sure you can guess where I got Cos from =]

Q: How have you prepared to win this spotlight?

A: Well I've been doing a lot more bracket racing to get myself noticed a little more than before and it's really helped me improve my bracket skills. H2H racing is always #1 so I do that also on the regular.

Q: How have you perfected your consistency in both H2H and BK?

A: Well, the addition to the Practice Track hasn't gone unnoticed, at least by me. I spend a good 5 or 10 minutes on there before I start racing live. Practice makes perfect. =]

Q: What advice do you have for someone who would like to make ratios?

A: Well when it comes to H2H, the best way to get a start on how to make ratios is to find a good base setup to learn how to tweak gears. From there you kind of get an idea of how they can be made. For bracket I would suggest working with close and even gears. Something similar to 2.500-0.700-0.600-0.500-0.400-F for the final gear you just need to work on tweaking your final just right with your setup.

Q: Do you make your own setups? Any tips for future setup makers out there?

A: Well I do make my own H2H setups and try to find ways to find that extra edge on the competition. Some parts may be more expensive but may hinder your setup or slow you down. So just test your setups a lot until you find what's best for the way you drive.

Q: Wal-Mart or Target?

A: LOL, Wal-Mart! Target can't beat their prices. LOL and the Super Centers are always fun. =]

Q: What do you think you're better at, H2H or BK?

A: H2H is my calling. I'm definitely
