◆ SNAIL [Enduro] Racing - Closed Until Further Notice

[jbica]

Gahh he's kinda like the lil 14 year old who got kicked for begging for aids to be turned on and for us to race 1 car and 1 track(because he thought he was better than everyone else at it) for the whole time he was there

Childish **** I'm not going to be a part of....

 

[chatva]

Gentlemen, I would like to let you know that personal attacks will not be tolerated anymore. spdrcr70x is entitled to his own opinion and if he doesn't want to conform to the way the league is set up then he doesn't have to race with us. I would like this league to grow and become better than what is now, and I think a lot of new drivers are being turned away because of the way some people are arguing. I know I have not updated the color list for a while and to remedy this, if your color combination is NOT on the list or not correct, please post in the thread and I'll try to get everything updated.

Also fzappa said he would figure the lap counts out today and I'll update the first post with the new tracks and lap counts when I get the information from him.

Thanks,

I just wanted to see what everyone thought of this idea brought up by fzappa. Since we race for an 1:30hrs., he suggested having a 5 min. break at 45 minutes into the race. The procedure would be as follows. At 45 minutes everyone would come to a complete stop wherever you are on track. Once you have stopped, press the pause button and make sure you car is not moving. Then you can have until the clock hit 50 minutes to go to the bathroom, stretch, etc. If anyone is caught in the replay using this time to make up positions or laps, the will receive a penalty of 8 points. Let me know what you guys think and I'll add it to the first post and we can start using this tomorrow.

that sounds good, now I don't have to pit and pee my brains out for 40 seconds, then find my car coasting into a wall coming out of pit row.

Why don't we make the races more interesting and just have two races, starting the second one fastest first to regroup the field?

That idea , I like! Thats when you can have your break and if thats the case , maybe we can start the race 15 min or so earlier and we can have more laps?

 

[cmbeal317]

Here's an idea for doing 2 races, we split the number of laps per race in 2 as they are listed currently, and cut qualifying down to 15 minutes. We would keep fastest first for the second race and the points would stay the same but say if you won both races you would get 56 points rather than just 28, which would really intensify the points race. So basically this is how Saturday night would work:

- 15 minutes practice/qualifying
- Race 1 - 45 minutes
- 10 minute break
- Race 2 - 45 Minutes

What does everyone think of this plan. I'd be more than willing to get this going tomorrow night. Let me know what ya think guys.

I think it would make more sense to do the points as if it were one race. I think running two races, with the second starting fastest first, is just going to double the points for the winner of the first race.

 

[hillracing]

I like the long races personally. I don't mind the idea of two shorter races either but don't like the break half way idea.

 

[tensor120]

Thumb down for all that. I like treating it like a real race... long. You have to keep concentration and hold ur pee. It makes pit strategy more interesting. Anyway you would have to change the name of the series

 

[fzappa]

I'm fine with keeping it the way it is. Just a thought I heard some say a few races ago that there should be a break in the middle of the race but then , , I remembered that there may have been too many laps for some races and we changed it.

 

[cmbeal317]

Okay, I too remember that some of the races did go on for quite a while and we shortened them. So for the time being we'll keep ever thing as it is.

I thought I mentioned something like this in a previous post. Make the laps like 62
so when you get to lap 30 you have 2 laps to stop and go to the bathroom, everyone parks near each other then for that last lap before the green you just warm up and we have a restart
who ever wins segment one can get a bonus point or something

Hey, sorry for not posting / racing without telling anything, I thought I posted that I will not be able to race in the meantime...

Can you reserve the colors I used in Season 1?
I wouldn't like to have any surprise

I know I haven't run this series in a long time (Saturday nights are for dirt), but I have an idea if a break is desired.

Run the race in two segments and award points at the end of the second segment. If the entire race lenght would be 60 laps (I'm using round numbers) the first segment could be 40 laps, and the second segment would be 20 laps. Use the break as a competition caution. This would allow everybody to get new tires and would regroup the field. The second segment just needs to be long enough to allow for some tire strategy.

This would open up some other options as well. You could award bonus points such as 3-2-1 or 5-3-1 for the top three finishers in segment one. This would give some incentive to finish well in the first segment and not just ride around waiting for segment two.

The problem this would pose is any cars that were lapped in the first segment would get back on the same lap as the leaders in the second segment. This could be fixed by either making them wait a set amount of time to start or by forcing them to drive through the pits on lap one (no service to the car allowed). They would get their lap back, but would have to drive the wheels off the car to try and catch up.

Anyway, it's just a though that might allow for the break and add some extra strategy to the nights racing.

I should be able to start running again within a couple of weeks as racing season is winding down for us.

These "making the race shorter or making segments out of it" ideas need to be dropped. There was a final decision which was keep it the same. BECAUSE it was already shortened. If anyone can't race a long race, dont do it. Those changes would defeat the whole purpose of the series.

its really dumb(Im not calling anyone dumb, but if you do this...) when people READ OVER THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF A SERIES ON THIS GTP AND DECIDE TO ENTER THAT SERIES AND THEN AFTER THEY GET THEIR NAME ON THE LIST AND SITUATED THEY START "SUGGESTING" OR CALLING FOR VOTES FOR CHANGES TO THE SERIES. Leave it alone. If the stewards want to make a change, THEY should start a vote, or just do it.

Maybe you should try re-reading the first line of my post. It ends with the words, "if desired." I'm not asking for change or proposing any changes. I merely had an idea that could be used if the powers that be wanted to do so.
