Looks like D5 is fairly stable - make sure you have invites in for all hosts, backups, etc.

@USERID_77a23 - can you host tonight?

@goofytyler - make sure you have me, User, @ExoSphere64 , and @CoachMK21 - those are the 'Most likely to Host' - if you have space on PSN, add all the regulars in your division if possible.

Our numbers have been fine, but don't forget to add the hosts for the division above you also.
 
Slow reply, but yes you do! I'm studying engineering at the University of Victoria, BC and we made the car in the photo. They have a silly rule which disallows people who've not been on the team one year to drive the car, but I've just hit that one year mark and I'm hoping to give it a run in the next few weeks!

Here's a little clip of our lead driver driving it in the competition in Lincoln, NE earlier this year, can't go flat out in these things as they're extremely delicate:


Cool man! It good to see a fellow formulaer take part in this. I am in the same boat as you as i also just finished my first year on the Michigan State University Formula SAE team and am hoping to be one of the drivers this year. What do you do on the team, and do you compete at Michigan also?

Ever been to Mission raceway? You should bring that thing to one of our events there!
 
Daniel, you from the East Lansing area? I live in Holt. Do you happen to do any autocross events?
I am actually from the Bloomfield Township area and attend MSU so am in East Lasing for a majority of the year. I Do autocross, not aournd EL, but back home. Where are events held around there? I haven't done many this year, FSAE keeps me pretty busy and am at the shop most weekends. What do you drive?
 
One more time so that anyone who is paying attention (everyone should be paying attention) will know what is allowed and what isn't.

Daytona SS will have some differences.

We will be using the rolling start 2x option.

Penalties will be off for all divisions so as not to turn bump drafting into a ghost passing festival.
The yellow line is out of bounds. If you put any part of your car below the yellow line and improve your position in the process, you must give back the spot or you will be subject to a shortcutting penalty. The only exception to this is if you are avoiding an on track accident.

Under no circumstances are you to force another car below the yellow line. If you push up the track there is a better than average chance that someone (maybe four someones) are going to be inside of you. You are not to cut back across their line. You have just made a mistake and must rejoin the line when it's safe to do so.

Oh nice, I grew up in Novi and later Waterford. Being in Lansing, I race in the WesterMI region, the events are hosted at LCC (west campus), Grattan raceway(Belding MI), Gingerman raceway (South Haven), and K-wings Stadium (KZoo). I've been busy with other endeavors this season. But I should be racing my Mazda3 next year and until (if!) I get my Rx7 up and running again. I'll also probably be racing the Detroit Region more often than not. They hold a lot more events and at a lot more places, Like Belle Isle, Waterford Hill, Ruckles Pier in Claire and lots of other places.

Give my best to Waterford Hills. For those of you who are not familiar with Waterford it is a little race club right in the middle of suburbia outside Detroit. When stationed at K.I.SAWYER AFB I used to drive to Ann Arbor (a10 hour drive in the days of 80 mph crusin.) where my FF was based. We raced Waterford allot. Great crowd of racers.

PS3 froze, be there soon
Me too...it does not bode well for tonight. I have raced five times in the last two days and have had no DCs but many have DCd around us all. In two cases I watched two mass DCs where the entire room imploded with every PS3 "freezing". These were both training rooms. Danger and I got frozen between tracks. My PS And his both froze.

Edit: DC/Frozen again...gonna go watch netflix :grumpy:

Does this by any chance happen when you're at Daytona? Three of us practicing earlier, fine everywhere except Daytona, cars jumping around alot.

For me, I get disconnected from any track I've been on. Seems non track specific. The PS doesn't always freeze but does frequently. I am not sure how successfully I will be able to stay connected tonight. The disconnects have only been an issue for me since 1.10 or so. Before that, never had a problem.
 
@Dragonwhisky
D3 data is entered. Unfortunately, I did not save the replays for RD1 / RC1 and RD2 / RC2. If anyone in D3 can enter the best times and gaps, it would help out tremendously. Total times for those races are already entered.

I have not turned my PS3 on yet since yesterday and I have been reading through these posts and I don't know if I want to turn it on if its going to freeze it up? Well here goes nothing I guess?
