Good!

While I'm looking up some of the info, what lap times did you run?

 

[TBongX]

Good!

I forget what I was running exactly. Maybe like 1:38's give or take a few seconds I think.

 

[BayouSimDrifter]

I hope all of the veterans in our league had a great day. My work place had a huge veterans sale going on for any veterans. But finally I hope that after a year of fighting to get into the military I may finally get my chance as now both the Air Force and Navy both now want me and they've given me some interesting jobs that I can take a look at especially EOD. Hope that you all had a great day. Hoo Wah. Semper Fi.

dont do security forces lol. oh and if you fail out of EOD say hello to security forces lol

 

[JLBowler]

The track boundaries post has been update to include the tracks that were just selected. Please read what is in there. It's very simple but there are any specific questions, ask them here and I will answer.

 

[Rednose58]

Congratulations - It's only Tuesday and the Combos are chosen. The lap times are preliminary - remember it is not the fastest times, I'm looking for average times during a race simulation. With more feedback I will do the Line-up post by tomorrow night. Good job prize winners!

@Rednose58, @Dragonwhisky, @CoachMK21

Happy to see my Aston Martin survives for another week. I wish I could learn how to win with it though!

 

[Schmiggz]

And the Aston behaves magnificently in this track.

 

[DCschwinn]

I have used the pause button when wrecking in front of a bunch of cars especially when I noticed my car was not ghosted and I was facing traffic. so I would not cause a lot of mayhem. never used it to stay on track thou. its hard enough for me to drive change gears watching out not to wreck everyone else and find breaking points.etc.

Wow.. I am out of the loop.. Never heard of this little "Trick"? For someone who has spent alot of time on the beach, one would think I would know about this? Sounds like a game changer!! lol

That right there takes the realism away from the racing. Accidents happen and they are a part of racing. The drivers coming up on you are required by the OLR to treat your car as if it is solid. Too many drivers don't do this and use the ghosting as a crutch. Those crutches are being taken away and everyone is going to have to learn how to avoid trouble on the race track. It's kind of an important part of racing.

I cant stand the ghosting feature for the penalties. I believe D8 is the only division running penalties on Weak?? I Think!? Honestly, it can only help if the penalties are the same as the other divisions! That is just my opinion not anyone else's!! Is there a plan to do this in D8?

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Then there is the cat sleeping on the ps3 disconnect....random....he may swat the USB for the TV or the one with the bus holding the headset and G27. ...in one case it gets dark and quiet, AND YOU MISS THE MAYHEM YOU CAUSE...in the other case you GET TO WATCH HELPLESSLY ( in silence)AS YOUR CAR GOES BALLISTIC.

The fix was to reinstall the PS3 in the fake carbon fiber upright holder. The cat decided sleeping on the upright edge of the PS was not comfy.

KILL THE CAT!

D7 is scheduled to roll on Penalties set to Off next month with D8 to follow the month after that. At that point @zer05ive will be able to simplify that particular rule in post 1.

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 in this 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.

 

[Schmiggz]

Well, Adelaide it's just on the other side of the world! You will race Sundays at 10am... That must be awesome

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

I know I was just informing him that D8 wasn't the only division still running penalties and it doesn't bother me either way i just try to get out front and stay there

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Of to school

 

[Mike Lobban]

I hope all of the veterans in our league had a great day. My work place had a huge veterans sale going on for any veterans. But finally I hope that after a year of fighting to get into the military I may finally get my chance as now both the Air Force and Navy both now want me and they've given me some interesting jobs that I can take a look at especially EOD. Hope that you all had a great day. Hoo Wah. Semper Fi.

EOD is not a job I would want. Go with the air force if you can, imagine being stuck on a ship for months with no nookie, unless???... Never mind, good luck with whatever.

 

[pakicote]

Fantastic thanks!!

They have females (presumably) on boats in the navy now. But I also wouldn't go EOD. I would probably look at becoming a drone operator myself.
