Maybe the divisions just need a little fine tuning? Div 1 10 people showed, Div 2 15, Div 3 13. Full room makes for some fun racing

I would like to submit my request to join your league please.
Let me know, Thanks.
I liked The Monza combo as a whole. The only issue i had was the car was topping out half way down the front straight in a draft. I thought the racing was very close, we had the top 4 drivers cross the finish line all with in .200 of a second. Position 1-3 was .069 you can't get much closer then that.
Zero/Cheeb: is there a policy we could put in place, that if you pick a car/track, your required to TEST them before posting? No one wants to be banging off the rev limited.
Edit- may i request a few photo's of that finish above? Thanks!

You should definitely test combos. That should go without saying. I'm not sure about the rev limiter argument. It sucks to hit the limiter, but if you cut that out we'll pretty much never drive old muscle cars. Spec racing is more about the corners and braking than top speed, anyway.
I've wanted to drive the 1970 Challenger for some time, but it tops out at 114 mph. The RM version adds 5-10 mph, really not noticeable. I feel if i picked that, or many of the other muscle cars who's trans's are very low, people would complain alot and I would be told i suck at picking combo's.
Those cars have high Hp, very easy to reach the rev limited on even short straight.
Ditto what Ap said. Everyone should be testing their picks anyways, but I don't think bouncing off the rev limiter should eliminate a combo from consideration. It may not be ideal, but certainly not a deal breaker. After all, everybody on the track will be bouncing off the rev limiter under the same conditions. Therefore, is it really that big of a deal if it affects everyone in the same exact way?
Would you be against "testing" something like this out, say the 70' Challenger at a track on Wednesday? Maybe do 1 race in the Ferrari and the 2nd race in the Challenger to see how the masses feel?
Usually, to break in the cars, I do a couple laps at Route X, and have a drafting battle with the AI.
Hey Jonsey80,
Seems you're acquainted with mopar, hope it doesn't rub off Just having a little fun, glad you're here and my apologies for the delay in posting this!
We run a clean league by enforcing the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and we expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both.
I'll add you to the drivers list. Please run the Time Trial Combination in this post and Private Message your time to my GT Planet account prior to 10:00 P.M. EDT Saturday July 21st. The time you send will help us determine which Division you'd be best to start in. We do as much as we can to make sure everyone gets involved in some close, clean racing.
If you can't race on a Sunday, please give us at least 24 hours notice by posting in this forum, it helps the Sunday Race Directors out.
PSN friend requests will be sent to you from SNAIL_Division1, SNAIL_Division2 and SNAIL_Division3. Their lounges are where we race Sunday night and hold our various events. Here's a breakdown of the ways we use the lounges.
During the week we run a number of different events feel free to jump in and partake!
The original post also has a lot of information regarding the league, commit it to memory
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, post your choices here. To avoid duplication of choices, the currently claimed combinations can be found here.
Welcome aboard and enjoy
Thanks, I'll get you that TT Time as soon as i can. Hopefully i can get involved in sum fun events this week and get used to racing with some of you.
Thanks Again, & Mopar I'll See You on the Track

Not all cars break in at the same mileage. They're all very similar, but they're not all the same. (Thanks again, PD/Kaz)
A lot of people use the GV300 to break in their cars, albeit in B-Spec. Sometimes that's all you need for full break in, sometimes you need a couple of laps more. Running a few practice laps at the track for the combo in question gets you those extra miles if you need them. In B-Spec, though, I'll often go for LS, just because then I'm guaranteed the mileage.
I like to try to find a seasonal event that's the same as what we're running. Most of the time the length is similar to the week's races. It's just a trick to find one that you can actually use the car in. Typically if you do that you're bound to lose, though, as you're up against a pile of 650PP race cars or similar, but the prize money is still beyond anything you'll get from offline A-Spec.
Hey BlacqueJacques, sorry to hear that.
If you'd like I can make you an Associate S.N.A.I.L. that way you can still join us for any of our other events.
Let me know.
Cheers,
kcheeb
I'm not sure I agree with this. According to this, PD picked very even numbers for all the breaking in/wearing out stuff. I have yet to see evidence that it varies from car to car, except for OCD cars.Not all cars break in at the same mileage. They're all very similar, but they're not all the same. (Thanks again, PD/Kaz)
Sure I'll be an Associate S.N.A.I.L.
I will also check out the S.P.E.C. Saturday nite league
Good racing people 👍
