I will have ask my mother how my godmother is doing. Ok...that's really bad of me.

I need to somehow get a "ghetto" triple screen set up.

Yeah. Just like used cars are now called "pre-owned". Doesn't matter how you label it. It's still ghetto.
Hey now. Nothing ghetto about used cars, as long as they aren't all rusted out, beat to crap ghetto. I don't like buying new cars and having a payment. Besides not liking owing someon or something money, I doubly l have a weird issue with not wanting to mod a car I have a loan out on. Of the near 30 cars owned, only one was bought new off the lot. It was the second worst car owning experience I've had. Nothing yet tops the vw experience.
 
I've owned 3 brand new vehicles my entire life. An '85 Toyota Corolla I drug around from CA, AK, UT, Italy, where it got crunched in the left side by some woman thinking she was Mario Andretti in the rain , and I finally dumped it off several years ago, where I currently live. The other 2 new vehicles are motorcycles, one of which I still own. The rest were all bought used. Some were ghetto, some not. Here's the list. Note much in there that's inspiring, but hey, raising a family and being poor doesn't lend itself to buying cool cars.

I may be missing one or two and some of the years may not be all that accurate. The Alfa was one of those cars that bounced owners a lot so it was pretty hammered when I got it and I gave it to the unit I was assigned to when I left.

S.N.A.I.L. at the GTPlanet 24 Heures du Mans

2014-Journee-Test---24-Heures-du-Mans--SBA-1424A-JT--BA-0340_hd.jpg

A few days ago @zer05ive and myself were invited to bring a team to the GTPlanet 24 Heures du Mans which is taking place on July 12th and 13th. However, unlike the endurance races that I run on Saturday nights, this race will take place over a full 24 hours. I knew right away that I would like to participate and I need a little help so that we can compete. For the race we need a total of 3 drivers and a team manager(one of the drivers could double if we can't find someone else). The biggest challenge is that to be fair, we should each be able to race for a total of 8 hours over the 24 hour period, though I will gladly do more if needed. This is a very serious event, and is not to be taken lightly.

I have also asked and we are allowed to add a reserve team if enough people are interested and committed to racing. Being a reserve team means that if one of the 15 invited teams decides not to race, then they will pick from the list of reserves in the order they asked to be added to the list.

As for the car we'll be racing, we have a few options for class:

LMP - Le Mans Prototypes(i.e. Audi R18, Mazda 787, Bentley Speed 8, etc.)


GT+ - Super GT, GT1, GT2(i.e. Nissan GT-R GT500, McLaren F1 GTR, etc.)

GT - GT3 and GT4(i.e. Nissan GT-R GT3, BMW Z4 GT3. etc.)


Driver Requirements:

- Must be an active member of S.N.A.I.L. [Spec] or [Enduro] Racing

- Must not be on probation for any racing incidents

- Must be able to race for long periods(up to 3 hours) with little time for breaks



To guarantee entry, we need to have the drivers and team manager sorted out by Monday June 8th. More information can be found at the following link.

Dammit! Again a race I would love to take part in clashes with work.

If I could do it, there are 2 people on GTP I could team up with. 1 of them I know is good, but I am not sure about the one.

I would like to do this. It sounds very good in terms of endurance and technical racing.

I think you might want to put some stipulations up for any possible drivers that want to represent SNAIL in this event. The first requirement I can think of is that you have to be an active member of SNAIL. I might also go so far as to say that if you are currently on probation for racing incidents, you would not be able to race in this event.

This is a chance for the rest of GTPlanet to see what we have in terms of driver talent and race craft. I feel we should put out best foot forward in both respects.

That is a great idea, I'm going to add that to the original post if you don't mind. :)

I agree that we should have the best with driver talent and race craft. Especially those who are not only consistent, but consistently fast and as clean as they possibly can. If we get enough applicants, I'll even pull myself out of the race and just be the team manager, if it gives us a better chance of a class or even overall victory. As far as online racing goes, this has got to be one of the most ambitious events ever done. How many gamers can say that they participated in a 24 hour race?

Well that automatically knocks me out. I can't race consistently. Much less consistently fast.
 
Team SNAIL Update

As of right now, it looks like each division is covered for the essential duties to successful complete the races tonight. We can always use more back ups, so if you're interested in being a part of Team SNAIL, let me know.

Here is our current listing of Team SNAIL members. A description of the job duties are listed at the bottom of the page. There are also youtube videos via @kcheeb for many of the jobs.
 
In D6 and towards the back. So a slim chance if that.

I'm in D5 and I'm still at this point planning on racing. We're definitely going to do some practice sessions before the race and we'll be able to get you up to speed. :)

Defiantly. I get out of school Thursday so then GT6 will be played quite a lot.
 
Request a Final and Official statement of Laps and Qualifying minutes for each Combo tonight.
If it is posted, I cannot find it.
 
Thank you to @aerolite for joining TEAM SNAIL to become the replay uploader. He's also agreed to become the back up host and scorekeeper. Be sure to claim your $hells when you do perform your duties, via this form.

If anyone else can help out their division in a primary or secondary role, please let me know. There are several divisions with holes that need to be filled to effectively and efficiently run our Sunday night races.

Here is the current list of TEAM SNAIL members.
@aerolite Welcome to the team!
 
Hello guys,

Just to inform I won't be racing for the next two weeks (After this sunday) because I´ll be spending all my spare time (and some of sleeping time :D) on the GT Academy last round.
Although my chances to make it into Mexico national finals are near zero, as an S.N.A.I.L I feel the need of put my skills at test and show the world what we are made of :)

So then, if a have to do something in order to rejoin please let me know. Enjoy racing!
