The event only has one qualifying event at the 1st track. After the first race we use reverse grid for the next three races. Take a look at the first post for all the details.

I am compiling a list of days that work for people based on what they have said in the thread, while in a lobby or have signed up to to take part in a race on that day. It is on the Performance Cap spreadsheet. It looks like Monday is the most open with Saturday being second. Please let me know if any other days work for you or any days that I have you down for that actually do not work for you.I won't be able to make Saturday.Gonna be in Atlanta all weekend for the SuperCross. I couldn't do Saturday anyway, I run the Endurance on Saturday nights.
Any day but that one will work for me.

I won't be able to make Saturday.
If possible, it'd be ideal if we could run this on a day that's not already occupied by another event. That way nobody would have to choose between two events. I don't see a problem with occasionally running this on the same night as another event, but it's a bit little different if we're selecting a permanent night for this.
While Monday is currently the only night without a scheduled event, Tuesday may be a possibility as well since I'm not sure if dadneyd is still planning to continue his endurance series (I'll check with him on that).

I am still up for Saturday night, since Armedmen got the Golf VI already having to redo my line up. Will have it saturday morning or maybe tonight.
Tentative :
VW Scirocco R'10
Vauxhall VX220 00
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 85
Triumph Spitfire 1500 74
* DZ... there is a stomach Flu going around (hint hint) LOL
Does this mean that my Samba Bus is forbidden?

Well the idea is to promote close racing I suppose? If people run a 200PP Carol at Daytona and then run three 466PP cars then they might dominate the night. Or a 200PP a 300PP, a 500PP and a 600PP. It could get crazy.
Just thinking a limit to the bottom PP and top PP might promote closer racing.

I totally understand not wanting to double up. Unfortunately I can not do Monday or Tuesday
if I can find a race director I will make sure racing can take place on Monday or Tuesday. But that still leaves me sol. The reason I think Saturday would not be bad is that the current event is an enduro running a RM car. That is very different than running 400pp mostly street cars in short races. Other than just running it randomly or not taking part I am not sure how else I can do this if I do not try to run it on a day that works for me.

If you are willing to direct then Mondays should be doable with a good size grid. Saturday could be a secondary day or the second day could hop around a bit. I would still do al the organizing so really just need someone to run things during the race on Monday including scores and replays. If you are up for it lets just get it started

Alright guys, I've completely changed my lineup to account for the new/old pp values. Idk if all of the cars are fully broken in, so I left a few pp on the table just in case.
FF - Ford Taurus SHO '98 (405 pp)
FR - Chevy Camaro IROC-Z Concept '88 (421 pp)
4WD - Suzuki Wagon R RR '98 (302 pp)
MR - Honda NSX Type S Zero '99 (460 pp)

having pp caps would take away from strategy. i know that reguardless of what ff i use im not gonna be fast enough to win any races, so why should i have to waste my points on ff if im not going to be competitive reguardless. (that was my thought process for picking 2cv). if there are enough people in this can end up biting me in the but tho, its a pretty damn big risk

I guess the deal is when you pick a very low PP car then you almost guarantee a last place finish. But you aren't guaranteeing a win with your other cars
yea, its a really bad strategy probably if more than 5 or 6 people are driving, because getting last with 5 people ill still get 11 points, last with 16 people will only be 1 point

FR - Roadster 1800 RS (NB) '00 (385pp)
MR - Opel Speedster '00 (410pp)
AWD - Audi S3 '02 (412pp)
Total PP = 1599
