Nope that was Mark one of the other event photographers. You will never see me with a Cannon. Nikon FTW.

 

[88GTA]

Oh definitely #45 on Sunday.

Of course I disagree vehemently

I've loaned two of my die hard Nikon shooters my equipment for various shoots and both are in the process of selling their stuff because they like the Canon system better

Thats one!

Well we all make bad choices As much as I hate to admit it I will say that right now Cannon is making better cameras. But I love the ergo of the Nikons. Seems more intuitive.

Since no one has much to say let me throw out an idea I have had for a DTC hosted event (time and date undecided)

DTC Enduro @ Sierra

1910 PP on SS tires. (429-525) Choose 4 cars as usual for the DTC (one each drivetrain). For this event I suggest a 10% spread of PP to allow for different strategies

10 laps @sierra (that should put us at just under 2 hours)

You must do at least two laps in each car

Tire wear will be set to start showing real wear after two laps. 4 Laps should have serious tire wear.

Weather will be a factor so rain should be a real possibility but not a certainty

Time progression will set to take us from the morning to evening

----

Not sure if damage should be set to real/high
Teams could be a possibility (2-4 drivers)

----

Anyone like the idea?

Do you know what will help that?

Not making sudden movements like turning to grab something to throw at the TV when Joe runs me off the road?

Who picks the qualifying track? @Kgffy?

 

[Kgffy]

Q track is grand valley speedway (reverse)

 

[kendawg]

Anyone NOT racing Sunday night.
Was thinking about running "Slow cars Fast track". This always creates good fun racing.

 

[Kgffy]

I might be down, I'm still in div 1 and I. Still several seconds off from div1

 

[jobyone]

If you are still on when I get home I will join in. Otherwise I will go around a track by myself while you losers sleep

@Kgffy I see you are in CA. What time do you tend to be able to race/play till in the evenings?

 

[Kgffy]

I can race to usually 9- 10 at night

 

[Schmiggz]

Must be great racing in D1 with that Lloyd guy in there

 

[Kgffy]

I'm 2-3 sec behind lloy, I'm 1-1.5 behind everyone else lol

 

[Schmiggz]

I'm 2-3 sec behind lloy, I'm 1-1.5 behind everyone else lol

That's awesome kg... When I race with Lloyd I'm like 6 seconds per lap behind, ahahahah

I was on last night and didn't see anyone from here online at the same time so I loaded up Grid instead.
