Track boundary clarification, please. At Indianapolis Road Course, entering the oval section before the last turn, there is a black and white "rumble strip" and a solid white line on the left. Is this a boundary or are we free to use the entire track out to the wall? Sorry if this is common knowledge or unclear but I was hoping for clarification. Thank you.

Although I'm 99% sure (I'll let the main guys confirm (@JLBowler @zer05ive), the white line coming onto the speedway is track boundary which means you must keep at least 2 wheels inside the white line as you enter the speedway. At least that is how my Wed RCS series is going to administer it

Well if I wasent in Gresham, OR I would try to help but...

I am in the Portland area. My son and I were thinking of going karting today if you are interested.

 

[Grandpa Money]

Added mine ..

Just a gee whiz. This sheet now has 56 drivers reported and the average age of SNAIL drivers now stands at 38.14. If you had a birthday recently, Happy Birthday, now go change your age!

 

[reigninblood]

Not sure I can give it a go today, but I'll let you know if I need to adjust the set up someone gave me this morning. It definitely looks wonky but I know it works. I think I just may have run out of talent at 1:34s. I'll blame the track, that's right, I don't like the track too much.

yea man. just throwning out a life ring just in case.

Oh I appreciate the offer but we left and are at Seaside now and about to leave to go back to Idaho Falls.

That's what you call great "racecraft"

If you want to reach max $50M starting with no money, you have to complete the Red Bull X2014 Standard Championship Race 5 @ Nurburgring GP/F 181 times. I plan on doing this so I can get the pricey cars and buy out entire manufacturers like Ferrari or some others.

Well that will buy you 4 Ferraris. To buy the 10 most expensive cars you need 150,000,000 credits. The economy of this game is so out of whack. You will need to do the challenge 1810 times to get enough credits to buy everything

High tech setup. Thought I'd share my ultra premium high tech rig with you all...areas to note...rickety tv table as base for wheel, cardboard wedge to keep it from moving around too much, sneakers for wheel angle and stability, hard to see.but there is a piece of wood as a pedal board stop. Chair courtesy of the kitchen table. Works well in spite of the setup.

Don't forget the goggles, that could sting the eyes!!!

G27 + wall shelf from old roommate + steel L beams + 55" LED + leather couch = pretty solid setup! Very minimal movement with FF, pedals don't budge a bit because of carpet

Not bad. Reminds me of my first rig even though my beagle was ashamed to even look at it!

Three rigs later, I now run with this

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I went from this....

To this....

I've made adjustments to the seating position to get a more comfortable position. This was Franken-Stand V1. Rock solid and cost me less than 50 bucks - already had the wheelstand pro.

 

[Falango]

Great to see the progression of setups! My first setup way back was with a Logitech USB wheel attached to my computer desk. So uncomfortable for long races. Lovin the setup @GGGMotorsport! Old rig with water jugs as counterweights, epic, haha. New rig, all custom built? Cupholder and all, just needs a minifridge within arms reach to complete it!

@LTRigby

Here's your official S.N.A.I.L. Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You take the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and Racecraft Test

2. You run the Time Trial and submit your information by 23:59 EST on Saturday night if you want to race this Sunday.

3. @JLBowler PM's you with your assigned Division that we feel will give you the closest competition. You will be added to the drivers list.

4. Send a PSN friend request to the Race Director or Primary Host from your assigned SNAIL Division. Sunday night you will need to sort the online lobbies by friends and join the lobby named 'snailracing.org Division_(x) based off your Division placement from JLBowler. That lobby will be where you race Sunday.

5. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below. Now if you've actually read this, post a on the main thread.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to S.N.A.I.L.

So much this. That looks like something you'd find in an arcade!

That is correct. The white line in this case is an extension of the rumble strips and does mark the edge of the racing surface. This is one of those occasions where the boundaries have to be set for an individual track and it usually occurs where two different layouts on a track meet with each other. All drivers will need to keep two tires on or inside the white line when returning to the oval portion of Indy.

Ahhhhh welcome Patrick, glad to see you've joined us from WRS

The initial plans for the rig were for the Ricmotech RS1. I made some modifications (both shelfs, the tv shelf and the mount for the consoles). Took about a month for construction due to several modifications and testing of seat height, wheel/pedal angles and then to paint it. Very happy with the way it came out.

BTW - the mini fridge is just out of camera shot
