Random thought:

Glad I missed those mailboxes this morning. More glad the truck still drives straight. Even more glad the wife doesn't know.

This morning i told myself that I'll never stay up to 3 am racing with my SNAIL pals after drinking and playing poker all night. Myself said, "huh?"

No worries Mate, maybe next time.

I hope Rousey is also a female.

After some more testing, I can see the appeal of Mid-Field. It's a high speed track for sure. I still like Apricot Hill more because of it's rhythm but Mid-Field feels closer to a Watkins Glen-type track. Ever since I went it's been something I want to race on.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I just got my tax info back and I'm getting about $1,200!! I don't work a crazy amount and it was my first year working again since starting school so it feels really good to put a big chunk of change in the bank. And considering I'm trying to move out it's nice to be ahead of the game. I'm not touching this money at all.

Jam Rock like usual bro'

 

[Handlebar]

It's worth decreasing the amount of withholding from future paychecks so you get your money straight up instead of 'loaning it interest free' to the government. YMMV.

 

[Inconspicuous]

No plans tonight...any practice going on?

Great thing about snail is there's always a practice going on.... That is until @vsfit starts looking for a hole in the wall

 

[DesertPenguin09]

No club lobby open right now but would are enough people around to warrant a room now?

Boom! See? "If you post it , they will come "

At Spa at the moment!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I was gonna make a track day room for Mid-Field but screw it, let's practice the FTO because race car

 

[Wolfsatz]

the grid is almost Full.. 2 snails on track!

get some practice!

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

I hope Rousey is also a female.

Yes Rousey is a female. She is an amazing fighter not because she beats everyone up but because everyone knows how she's going to beat them and they just can't stop her!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Does anyone else have issues loading Spa online? I consistently cannot get past the loading screen where it says "Practicing...". And when I try to quit it gets stuck there with the tiny loading circle. When I go to quit the game from the XMB menu the system tries to turn off. This is getting annoying. Why and has anyone else experienced this?

Yea! I thought TomMang said that last time we did that. Good times though, and we actually ran a few serious practice laps.

Just curious, the banners show the Gallardo on Sports Soft but it's over 550PP like the FTO Touring Car, which is on Racing Hard. What's that about?

Tire specs are not based on max PP.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Okay, that makes sense now. How come they are based on stock PP when we don't race at stock PP?

 

[Wardenclyffe]

My first guess goes to the power cable/adapter. I'm not sure if it's similar to the G27 where there's a 2 prong figure 8 power cable going into the adapter. if so, do you have another to try? After that, see if you can test the adapter itself?

What Falango said. It's the power supply. No power to the motor and a faint green light is the tell tale sign. If you can find a replacement plug and cord you should be golden.

If it's not marked for voltage and all the other specs, you can call Logitech and their technical support will be able to tell you what you need. They may even have them in stock to purchase if needed. I would give them a call either way, they may surprise you with how helpful they can be.

If the previous suggestions don't work, let me know. I had a similar experience that was not the power supply.

You can buy G25/G27 power supplies on ebay fairly cheap. You may want ot plug it in and hold it up to your ear to see if its humming. If not its dead, although humming doesnt mean its definitely working correctly, just verifies its getting AC from the wall. If you could measure the voltage out of the power supply small plug that goes into the wheel base that will tell you more.

Thanks again to you all for the help. I got lucky; the issue was the figure-8 power cord (the outlet to wall-wart cable), not the power supply itself.

Oh that's touchy. Why are the regulations for PP before Oil Change if everyone knows that's not the true stock PP of the car?

Sorry, hadn't had any coffee yet and misread. Dealership PP is used mainly because it's easy to look up and verify without having the car in your garage and not being sure if it has parts or a fresh oil change. It's a constant number that never changes so it works to base our tire selection on that constant number.

Any of this sound familiar??

Good because those are cheap!
