I would like to give this a try, but I will have limited time to sign in, send a friend request, choose a lineup, do the oil changes and be ready by 9:30 Eastern Time. I only get home by around 9:00pm. Then to get into it as a "newbie".

Let me know if there is a spot open and if it is even possible to meet your deadlines....

There is a spot open. @JoeW hosts so send him the PSN friend request to Ice_Warden. He can give you an idea of when the room will be up and the friend request side of things.

As far as the lineup, if you check out our spreadsheet here you can mess around with lineups while away from your PS3. We have all the cars listed under the "Sorted Known PP" tab and you can play with the numbers. You can at least see where your favorite cars fit into the limits. I also added your name to the "Sign-up" tab where you can enter potential cars and get a feel for how they fit into tonight's restrictions. The sign-up tab also shows the PP splits for tonight with the ranges and tires for each group.

@jobyone
Please update the scoring sheet for tonight. Thanks.
 
@jobyone - I would like confirmation of the adjusted PP for the Honda/Acura HSC '04 concept thing (currently at 497) since it destroys anything around the 500PP range :)
 
TONIGHT!

I think Rednose is on my list already. Not sure though.

My daughter has a game tonight so I won't be on until probably 8:30-9pm. Racing will start at 9:30 ;)
 
Lineup locked and loaded ;)

Am I included for tonight? (if the plane is not delayed, etc, etc)

I was on your Friends List previously, but I can only confirm when I get home. My work's Intranet blocks the Playstation Network, so I can't check my friends from here.

If you can see the room when you get on then come on in.

4WD - Audi R8 4.2 '07 524pp
MR - Honda NSX Type R '02 475pp
FF - Honda Integra Type R (DC5) '04 426pp
FR - Scion FR-S '12 413pp
 
Tonight was my last time with DTC. Thank you all for the fun moments.
Let me just say this...I am not going to kick someone out because you don't like them. If you can't put your big boy pants on in the morning and put the past in the past then it's on you not me.

it speaks volumes about @bloodredsky that, after all the crap that went down, he still pops in from time to time to race with us. He doesn't mind being in the room with his biggest fan (you), so who's got the chip on his shoulder?
 
I'm sorry Joey, the past is not too long ago budz because I raced with him here way after that past that you mentioned and I had no problem at all besides getting bumped off track and still having to see a picture of the incident on a thread with a low profile sarcastic comment that even you didn't like.
What bothers me about that person is the very unhappy comments he made a few months ago about how pathetic was to race with us as it was easy as hell to win night after night and all the offensive crap he threw up in our thread.
I'm not going to ask you for nothing Joey and I have absolute no beef with you. You're my friend, I wanna keep it that way. I just don't have your incredible ability to forgive.
 
Yea I hate @JoeW and I race with him all the time. Oh wait I don't:(

But seriously guys this is a game. We take it way to seriously. It should be fun first. Actually scratch that. It should be about spending time with other guys that enjoying the game that is GT6. If it was just about going fast around a track you could do that on your own. If it is about the need to think you are the fastest guy out there well get over it. You are not! If it is a pissing contest for you go do some SPEC racing.

DTC is supposed to be fun. If you do not find it fun then step away. Generally speaking everyone is welcome to join when they want.

Now Thursday. I will be on from 10-11:30 eastern time. Feel free to start ahead of me. I suggest that we just run cars on Sierra. Set time advance to 12, weather to 50% change 10 times. Lets do a PP of 1885 (with 10% PP spread) on Sport Mediums. Tire wear on Fast.

This is just for testing so lets have some fun.
