The WDS (Weekly Drag Series, not to be confused with the drifters) is back.
Due to continued bumpage of this thread, I believe there is still some interest in this particular facet of the game.
I was unable to run the series for a long time because I didn't have my own PS2. Now I do.
This resurrection is hopefully more than a one-time go at it. If there is enough interest, I will resume this weekly series (which is why this is posted in the long race series). As long as there is continued interest, I will keep making new races. I know for sure there is enough racers for this week, anyway.
I will run this exactly how I used to.
This week's challenge is with the 1965 Shelby GT350R. You can win the car quite easily by beating the Shelby Cobra Cup.
NOTE:
-All races are held at the Las Vegas drag strip
-Please save your replay AND YOUR SETTINGS
-No gamesharking is allowed to enhance the car
-Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated
-Winner must post settings at conclusion of race, otherwise the win goes to the next fastest person who can supply repeatable settings
-Post your time here in the thread before the time limit passes (do not PM it to me)
RACE CONDITIONS/LIMITATIONS:
-All modifications welcome except for a tire limitation
-This means nitrous and any other mod that you can buy or do to your car is legal
-Tire limitation: Sports soft (S3) or worse. Absolutely no racing tires
-No TCS allowed
This is pure American muscle right here, flexing the chassis of this vintage race car. S3 tires and no TCS ensure you will have to modulate the throttle with skill.
As you can infer from the rules, it is a good idea to write down your settings and save the replay, as well as your time. I will not require you to post replays, so for those of you who don't have a maxdrive, don't worry. Unlike any other OLR event, you can bump and scrape the walls all you want. Kill some pedestrians, I don't care. BUT - if you don't post settings, or if your settings are questioned by another racer and no one can repeat your run within reasonable limits, either you will have to give away your strategy or the win will be taken away from you.
This will be a 10 point event, 1st place is awarded 10 point, 2nd nine, and so on. A leaderboard will be created if this meets success.
This race will conclude at noon (12pm) Friday February 16th, EST. This time limit is designed to give you a few extra hours, for I get home from work around 5 or so. That said, if a racer sends me a PM and asks for an extra day due to unforeseen circumstance, I will almost always grant it as long as it doesn't become a habit.
Speaking of PMs.... I am not a Moderator and this is not an official GTP race. I cannot handle a mass influx of PMs. So, this is why you must post your time within this thread before the time limit passes.
