I got a 33.7 ,but the room was on weak grip/no tire wear.....I got a 1:33.611 later with grip on real/tire wear.
After tunnel sector time:
47.875 // 1:33.611 lap
48.003 // 1:33.738 lap
lol I almost got the exact same 2nd half.
If you can get around 48 flat , you're heading for a great lap.

I like Owen's idea as well - but can wrap in Zer05ive's goal for racecraft.
In a wildly exaggerated, hypothetical example, I somehow win D5... twice. OK - stop laughing, I know it is exaggerated...
Once I find out my prize, I send a PM to the D5 guys. They respond to me with their suggested track or car. I choose one of those suggestions, but only from the folks who are not on probation.
Or something like that.

1. What about banning anyone on probation from winning a prize selection? That way the fastest clean driver wins?
2. Would any S.N.A.I.Ls like to schedule a late night practice session for this weeks combos?
3. On a more fun note. I would like to try and get a few late night S.N.A.I.Ls together for a low PP event.
Start time 9 pm pst the night would depend on those interested.
Joby,
I can do Friday nights for this... for either late practice or a 'quick' series. I like the idea of low PP.... how about hatchbacks? The Fiat HGT Abarth has been calling my name for some time.
Like Crabs?
Anyone has the Car / Driver Colours Link?

I prefer Owens' method of just communicating through the thread - simple and open. 👍
That being said, your idea of not allowing those on probation to make a suggestion is definitely a good way to wrap the "racecraft factor" into it. Me likes!

Well if they're on the naughty list......
Anyway, regarding the prizes, who really cares? Seems as if everyone publicly says "I'm just here for clean, close SPEC racing". Who is privately that hellbent on getting to choose? As far as I am concerned we could pick the combos out of a hat. Let's pick something already!

I'm hellbent on getting to chose! 
If I ever get to do that, though, I want to do it because I won the races that night, not because I didn't crash. They don't give Super Bowl rings to the players who didn't have any penalties called on them. If they did, I would probably stop watching the NFL.

I don't know about anyone else, but just because I'm here for the close racing doesn't mean I don't want to win prizes. I love the idea that sucess (and clean racing) are rewarded by getting a chance to pick the cars and tracks we race on. In fact, that oportunity was on of the reasons I joined this league, as at the time it was the only one that offered that kind of interactivity.
I mean, doesn't the "I" in SNAIL stand for interactive? Picking combos out of a hat doesn't sound very interactive to me.

I appreciate it, Coach. But can you do your random, probability-ness stuff again using only the other two drivers? It's not a good week for me. I have a daughter with the flu, I'm packing and getting things ready for a trip, and I won't even be here Sunday. I'd rather the prize go to someone who actually has time to test some combos instead of just pulling one out of my posterior.

Thanks for letting us know, spooble. I hope your things get better soon. With that said, let's just go with Owens' idea which I said we'd try next time there was a repeat prize winner in the same month.
D3 drivers, please propose some Prize B suggestions for Luv2Coach to consider. That means you need to either suggest a car to replace the Amuse S2000 R1 '04 OR suggest a track to replace Nürburgring GP/F. Please post your suggestions publicly on the thread and not via PM.
However, if you're on probation right now, you don't get to make a suggestion.
Luv2Coach will then choose from one of your suggestions and that will be his Prize B selection. 👍

Totally awsome. How about doing this on Tuesday night. Running a race for about 30 min. then reverse grid for another 30 min.
Increase the PP by 50 each week.
Wouldn't you know it this Tuesday and Friday do not work for me
I like the idea of doing longer races but how about 4 15 minute races using two combos? In 10 weeks we could be running 880PP cars... oh wait this is for low PP
I love hatchbacks so bring them on. I do not want to limit drivetrains or types as I want people to be able to run what they want within the PP guidelines

Well.. given that you are Westie and I am East...that only leaves Saturday for me. But perhaps others are avail...
Can you get on any earlier at all ?
I guess your idea is very similar in concept to the SCT series which is really fun.

Here's a simple solution to all this for the future. Come up with 2 more prizes. Could be as simple as driving suits and paint chips.
Another idea is make the combo replaced a 2 part prize with one person picking the track and the other the car. On the prize b combo have one person pick if it's the track or car being replaced and the other pick the replacement. The fifth prize could still be a car ticket.
Either that or just let the top three finishers win the prizes and don't worry if they won before.

Ran a few laps with the Shelby (4 total) Pulled a 1:37.769. Is that decent for d4?
