Ok fine...I will try to get some photos that give the illusion there are a lot of us on track :)

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing us go back to fast tire wear for everything. Since we are now starting to specify no racecars etc it doesn't seem like an issue...and I like having to manage tires :)

The biggest issue seemed to be the really heavy street cars on sports soft.
 
I had an idea for a thursday test. What if your entire lineup consisted of one drive train. So 4 FF or 4 MR. There might need to be some incentive to running the FF say plus a certain number of points for the night or a slight PP increase. Thoughts?

What about running 4wd cars but you have to disengage the 4wd.
We could also run MR cars in reverse. Which then it would become a ff car.

So, then we would have to run the ff car in reverse to make up for the MR car.

For the FR car you have to do a donut burnout at the start finish.

He does NOT freebase cocaine...
 
I was hoping to at least be there for a few races but have to go to a board meeting instead:(

That wouldn't work. Honda Odysseys at Daytona Speedway? Yes.

Here is my idea:

Based on Ken's "Wildcar(d)" idea, you have to run three different drivetrains spanning four cars. That means you use the Wildcar(d) to repeat one layout. Based on your choice, if you run:

2 MR/RRs - -2pts
2 FR - -1pt
2 4WD - +1pt
2 FF - +2pts

Thoughts?
 
Thanks for the tag, I wont be able to join tonight though. I got a few more pieces to get on the rig, like the wheel table and seat. But I think I should be able to make it for at least the first two races. Am I looking at that btw? The format has changed and now it is two sets of two?

No same format but the PP is split. First two races total 1030pp, so 515pp average and you have to use a race car. Last two races are a lower PP at 830 total and cars that are from 1999 and older.
 
l bought mic and it does not work, so I'm going to get a wireless 1 soon and do it the right way , I'm started to learn u pay what u get for lol

It sounds confusing, but if you look at the sign-up tab here and see what our lineups are, it may make more sense.

Here is mine if that won't load:
FR - RE Amemiya RX-7 '06 512pp
MR - Megane Trophy Base Model '11 518pp

FF - Honda Integra Type R '98 415pp
4WD - Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85 415pp
 
Oh no, I got GTA. No worries. does this change weekly or does it run for a while with just the PP being adjusted still?
