Man it would be heartbreaking if this series died. Not sure why people are leaving.

I really wanted to race.. but this week was very short on sleep.. it caught up to me. Also, with summer and good weather a lot of folks are heading outdoors; so it is not the lack of interest, but the lack of enough hours in a single day.
 
Well it's not your fault wolf. If you were there then there would have been 5 of us. So I wonder what happened to the other regulars like Racefan, Nic, Diab, Shmiggz, Chat, Watermelon etc?

When there are 8 or more of us it really is a blast because you can always find someone in your range to race with.

The spreadsheet for known PP of cars used in the S.N.A.I.L. Performance Cap Series can be found here.

The second place driver will be able to adjust the PP of the race. Each nights race runs with its own PP paramaters. The Monday Night race can be adjusted +/- 0-50 points in increments of 10. Saturdays event can be anywhere between 1400-2000 PP in increments of 5. For Saturday the new PP should be at least 100 PP away from the previous night.

Third place can have their choice from the Paint chips in post #6.

I have sent you a PM with some details. I just need your PSN id to get you a friend request. On Monday just go to the lounge of the account and join the lobby. The account will not be online but that is where we race. If you have any issues post in the thread and we will try to help sort it out.
 
Hi guys,

So on the spreadsheet I put the cars I would want to race while keeping the cap as a limit?
if you go to the Monday sign up sheet you should see your name. Simply choose from each of the four lists ( you will need to do that from a computer not a mobile device) it will then fill in the total PP. there is also a pretty selected car list at the bottom of four cars you can get from the new car dealership that will fit in the PP for the night.
 
Hey everyone, don't panic... Schmiggz is still in da house. Saturday was my mother in law's birthday, we went out for dinner and got home laaaaaate but i'll be on today but.... it's a fact. that this series needs serious advertisement as 5 or 6 people racing is boring as hell.
So, here's my set up for tonite:

FF: Acura Rsx Type S '04 - 408pp
FR: Bmw Z4 '03 - 427pp
MR: Vauxhall Vx220 '00 - 409pp
4wd: Alfa Romeo Brera '06 - 411pp

Total: 1655pp and four cars from same decade :)

Thanks for the lineups guys. I have been inputting them into the Monday Sign up sheet. A few of the lineups are over the PP limit:nervous:

Also it looks like Ken input a bunch of PP numbers:tup:👍

I have also been updating numbers over the last few days. We now have numbers for 75% of the cars. While many of those values will ultimately be a bit higher it is a good starting point.
 
Monday 5/6 lineup:

FF (386) Civic SiR II (EG) '91
4WD (428) Audi TT Quattro '03
MR (426) Hyundai HCD6 '01

Official Announcement
I hope you guys had some good Racing tonight:tup:

A few things. One based on looking at the PP people use I think we should probably adjust the min/max PP to being 10% rather than the current 15% of the average PP. Most people are within that range anyway and it will likely keep smaller fields a bit closer.

Second. After talking to Racefan he has agreed to let us run PP cap on Thursday night. I would like to take a poll to see which of the three nights would be best. I would like everyone to post order of preference for the three nights.

1=I will be there 100% of the time since it is the one time the other half allows me to race
2=I will be there most of the time
3=I will be there if I am awake or not doing something else

So for me I vote Mon=2, Thu=2, Sat=3

I am not proposing we go to 3 nights I am simply trying to find the nights that will be best to attract regular participants. Once I get an idea of what the regular Cappers prefer I will post in the S.N.A.I.L. Thread to try to get some more participants.
 
Hey guys, sorry I missed last night. I've been feeling like crap and missed work yesterday. Hope you had some good racing, it looked like a bunch of you were running.

As for the schedule, I would be a 1 for Monday or Thursday and a 3 for Saturday.
