Zer0, PMs are full. That Google Drive e-mail was from me.

Sorry about that, cleared some more space earlier. I got your PM's, but I'm late for softball so I'll have to check them out later tonight. However, I didn't get a Google Drive e-mail.
 
So I just had a thought. We spend a lot of time practicing. We commit a whole league night to practicing the combos, and many of us run small practice sessions throughout the week. But it seems that mostly practice is gear towards learning the car track combo, and finding the fastest line, right brake, turn in and power on points. But one thing we spend a lot of time talking about, and little time actually working is, racecraft.
We do not spend a lot of time working on driving in packs, or engaging etiquette. So I have come up with an idea. at some point during the week, we should run a room with high boost on, keeping the pack close together and allowing a whole races worth of tight, constant pressure and passing opportunities. Randomize the positions for the first race and run reverse grid every race after, and do 3 races, with a few laps added just to add length and perhaps patience. With the boost on we take away any advantage one racer may have on another, thus removing the alien factor. Everyone gets in good racecraft spacecraft practice!
Whatcha guys think?

I sent it to your live.com address. It's what I had at Sugarsync.

With that in mind... I would like to send a KUDOS and What a Racecraft you display every time!!! to OwensRacing. This may sound weird, but it is a pleasure being passed without being without being bumped, dive-bombed or used as brakes. Every time that I have happened to share track with him he always displays great racecraft and patiently awaits the right moment to strike and pass! Well done Sir! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Can anyone send me some purples? I'm all out of my color, it doesn't matter what shade of purple i just need some, thank

And what's a good time at the Ferrari? I'm running 1,39,7

The darker the better...we don't want to confuse our fellow D3 racers given I was able to revert back to Amaranth Pearl since kcheeb has been promoted :)

Yeah me too. It would suck to be the first one not to get in

I'm betting you'll get an email in a few days once the second wave of emails goes through. I just glanced at the results and I have a hunch that I'm going to be the first one not to get in. Guess we'll see what happens. Hope you make it though.

TEX36
Please pardon "The Old Timer", but I don't understand.
I use a G-27 and have no idea where the Mode button is, or ........ anything else that was said above.

Just like the Replay Upload/Download catastrophe known as TEX, I have a feeling I'll get the wheel working backwards if I touch/adjust anything.

Anyone interested in a class for Senior Citizens ...... as Lombardi said, "This is a PlayStation" ... well, not exactly - but you get the point?

Just sent you an E-mail with link to instructions.
We can meet I your loung if you need walk through, don't worry about everything going backwards as it resets the wheel when you exit the game and you need to set it up every time you begin same as brakes!
