The Pit Board
(Saturday Edition)
Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It's like making a hard core adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You'd just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke's sweaty face.

If someone were to ask me for a short cut to sensuality, I would suggest he go shopping for a used 427 Shelby-Cobra. But it is only fair to warn you that of the 300 guys who switched to them in 1966, only two went back to women.

It has been a quiet week around these parts, or so it may seem. If you look closer, it has been a pretty amazing week. Last Sunday nights races were fantastic. I am GT5 broke because of the F10 but the combination was a ton of fun. It required much more concentration than most combos but the experience was a trip. I even managed to collect a convincing win with it! (Followed by a heartbreaking failure in the last round) but the whole night was one of the funnest I have had in quite some time! SNAIL just keeps getting better with age. I think that the coolest things to ever happen in this community was the delivery of the first
GranStand prize. Mr. Sandblazter will be lining up this coming Sunday in a most custom rig! If you missed it, you can see his rags to riches story in full technicolor
here! We SNAILs can't thank zer05ive and GranStand (Bill) for such an amazing opportunity and and even more amazing product!!👍 From what I understand, we are all going to get another chance to "Drive Like A Boss" in the coming months with yet another GranStand Challenge and the current contest with
ButtKicker products! A huge thanks to our "Sponsors" and remember that the SNAIL community also gets to enjoy discounts on these products! The man behind all of this is our fearless leader zer05ive. We hope to see you on the grid soon!
This whole Pit Board was started to bring about the awareness of our beloved SNAIL Results Document. It looks like we have had many more members take a look and find out how cool it is. I tried at one point to see if we could come up with a more fitting name for it but as time passes, I think the name is perfect. SNAIL
Results... This spreadsheet is a testament to all of our
results. I have been dabbling in it for months now and still I find new things to marvel at. We will get to some of that in a moment. In case anyone missed it, kcheebs lap analysis video is epic!! It is a visual depiction of the what the Results Doc stands for.
Here is the post if you did in fact miss it. There is also a new addition to the Results Doc that compares lap times between divisions. Pretty cool stuff!
So... lets look at some numbers. That is why we are here right?

Pretty stellar work you guys!! We have a "One Year Club" and I think we also need to annotate the drivers list with members of the "SNAIL Century Club" for attaining 100 podiums!!
Quiet week.... Not even close. This is an amazing group of drivers and people. Everyone needs to reach back and give themselves a nice pat on the back for making our League what it is. From me, personally, thank you all for everything you guys do. It really makes my life just that much better!!
Race Hard, Race Clean, Race S.N.A.I.L
