◆ S.N.A.I.L. [Kart] Racing - Tuesday nights at 9pm EasternOpen

[Lessen]

Alrighty fellas, after ridiculous review of the Motegi race, the points have been tallied and Digzeh comes away as the big winner for the evening and thus is guaranteed a track choice next week should he choose to do so.

So with that said, selections may begin for our July 29 events. If you're new or even been around for a while and not familiar with the way we choose tracks please click the appropriate link in my signature for a simple breakdown of how that works.

Motegi- Despite what the game scored at the end of the race, video replay shows that Kanejeffgordon won, followed by Jay-c200, then Pask-decob for 3rd. The runner-up was by about 2 inches I'd say. I had to really play with the pause button to get that one worked out fairly. From fourth on back the scoring was correct.

Next week is single-speed 125's. See ya then!

Yes sir! You may designate a short (<1.5 mile) or an open (any track on the kart list).

[Lessen]

Wow! This has got to be the earliest we've had tracks chosen. Nice!

 

[DMacs13]

ATTENTION!
​

Hey guys, I hate to pull the rug out from beneath anybody who has put in any significant amount of time already, but I'm going to make an executive decision here. Matterhorn Short Track will be dropped from the 7/29 lineup. After about ten minutes of testing it became pretty clear to me that 125cc karts in those mountains WILL NOT provide us with close competitive racing over 15 minutes. I'm all about racing the track as well as the competition but I believe that combo will just create a mess, and messes typically aren't fun. Again I apologize for any inconvenience and I hope everybody understands my focus is on good competitive and fun racing week in and week out.

Apricot Hill reverse shall be the replacement for the open category race.

I think that was a good decision, It will be a much better and closer race on Apricot Hill reverse

I After testing u figured that us a track only for the juniors, anything else could get bad lol

It's a good track for Jr.'s. We're run them before there. Still tricky, but it doesn't require D1 skill to navigate 5 clean laps. Maybe 100cc, never tried it though.

 

[Jayc2k]

Lol my auto correct made me look dumb

 

[DCschwinn]

Just got our internet upgraded..

To the west coast:
86ms Ping
17.36 DL
2.13 UL

Is that strong enough to host if I got my setup wired?

Plenty strong enough..!! If it gives you problems, Its not on your end or anything with your connection!! That's a wireless speed test?? Not wired in LAN right?

 

[Lessen]

That's a test from my pc (wired). My Playstation is currently not hardwired though.

 

[stunstheone]

2115mb upgrade required for version 1.10.
You might want to do this before Tuesday!

 

[TEX36]

Going to open a Kart Practice room shortly - Hope to have some company.

 

[Lessen]

I have not had any tracktime whatsoever for this week. My apologies for the lack of suggested gearing this week.

Tex, if you care to share what you figure out that would be helpful.

@HSAXET Hosting tomorrow sir?

 

[TEX36]

Doubt these are the best
Expect they can be improved

Red Bull 106/0.830 1st / 4.52 Final
London 93/0.900 1st/4.86 Final
Apricot Hill (still working on it)
(Sorry for the typo)

Have you ever ran a Internet connection test through your PS3? If your not Hard wired in, that test will give you a accurate reading of what your download and upload speeds are to your PS3 since your currently running it wireless!! I would check it directly through the system to see how much it drops off if any? It most likely will a bit.! Its a question of how much? It varies?

 

[HSAXET]

I am working a 16 hr day today so I may not even make the race. So no hosting for me

[Handlebar]

Not racing until after next Wednesday, so no Karts for me today or next week.

 

[TEX36]

@Lessen - I can Host the Kart Room tonight, unless someone else steps forward.
Think my connection/etc is acceptable.
Hmmmm, doesn't sound like we'll have many in attendance.
That's okay - we'll dance with the ones who arrive and care to dance.

 

[dabneyd]

I am doing some audio recording this evening, but if I'm done in time I'll be there.
