Unfortunately, I won’t be able to race this sunday so I’ll pass on a suggestion.

Very tight battle for first between @Timlour @Nicktune followed @IceWarden not too far behind.

We have a non responsive prize winner this week. By default, prize B will be to freeze either the Greddy Fugu Z or Autopolis - Shortcut Course. If you raced in D1, you get to vote for whichever half of the combo to freeze. First vote will be the tie-breaker. Voting closes at 12pm (noon) Thursday. @Worst_Driver , please have a choice for prize C readily available when voting closes.

Little internet story...might be of interest to anyone whose internet connection drops out randomly.
So I upgraded to gig fiber (from a 500/500 fiber) a couple of months ago. Then I started seeing random dropouts of connection maybe 4 or 5 times a day. But only for a couple minutes...then it would come back. Troubleshooting discovered nothing wrong with my router, wires, wifi etc. Just every now and then the whole house would drop out...I have dropped from racing once or twice over the last several sunday nights.
Well I finally decided to get the tech out to troubleshoot today. My outside fiber box (the one inside the large protective box) looks basically like a small router you might buy at the store. A fiber in and a few rj45 out. Has a few lights indicating activity etc. Anywho...I tell him the issue and he comes out with a proximity voltage detector and holds it next to the box and it lights up like a christmas tree. He says the installer didn't run the ground wire to it...which is causing it to spike voltage and could cause any number of problems like the one I am having. He hooks up the ground wire and voila...no voltage spiking. He said this should cure it. No problems since.
He said most of the older boxes didn't require grounding so many techs don't ground them but they are discovering these new boxes can have issues when not grounded in certain households.
So if you're having weird issues, maybe check if your outside box is grounded.
Ok...story time over...move along...

The drivers list and grid list are updated for this week's racing. There is one division. Use the priority list to determine who gets in. We will not split rooms and run 2 divisions. Anyone that gets bumped from the one room is free to run a practice lobby on Sunday night.
The Merak is now "sold out" in the LCD. Please select a back up car. No you may not change the track.

Skimming the thread, I thought it was a choice and not a suggestion. Mea culpa.Apparently I made that suggestion after the deadline so it doesn't count.
I looked at the grid list and was like...that seems like alot of D1 guys...scrolling scrolling...oh I see what you did there
Now watch like 20 people show up wanting to race lol
