We need to add a section on qualifying into the OLR.
For the record I said it several times in chat that two people were nose to tail in front of me. I even did a mic check to make sure everyone heard me. Crash and Cheeb will verify I talked about the issue a few times last night.
And when folks don't show up en masse, or there is a dip, would you like a field of 3? How many directors would show up each week?
That's a large number of committed bodies if we went to something like 9 or 10 divisions to meet that hypothetical goal of 6-8, and there is an assumption that the drivers will read where they need to be, and be there in the correct numbers for enough racers.
That's not an easy task to pull off in a once-a-week, free, fun, recreational racing league. Creating penalties for not-showing up would negatively affect the goal of higher participation and fun. I'd stick with the 'as is' on this, personally.
Overall pretty good racing in D2 tonight, Cape Ring was a test, had a blast at Eiger, a really fun drive and Fuji and I seem to get along, mostly
Feeling bad for qwiet, he had more connection issues tonight and in an effort to keep things moving along, he just missed a couple of races. My apologies again qwiet. Hopefully next week is better 👍
I'll jump on the Don't Get Rid Of, Or Shorten, Qualifying wagon. That 10 minutes per combo is usually my only practice time.

Yea! I did hear you say that!
My issue is that even if kcheeb or myself tell everyone to leave room between others it sometimes falls on deaf ears.
To eliminate these issues should faster drivers go out first? But who knows who the faster driver is on that particular track?
It is very unfortunate that we have these issues over a very simple thing.
Now we have to make a race complaint over qualifying? I think the stewards have enough on their plate right now over normal race complaints during a normal race that they can actually see replays of!
Guys, can we just qualify the right way instead of drafting off each other just to make that extra hundreds of a second?
I know that people were drafting off each other last night. All you have to do is look at the map and you can see people running close to each other. Why? Do you really need to have the pole that bad?
ApmaddockIf we could mandate that everyone in SNAIL read and understand the general directions then we wouldn't have these problems. Alas, it's the internet and people are lazy.
ApmaddockBrothers gotta stick together, Handlebar.
Guys, roughly when will we know the schedule for this Sunday's races? I understand that two of the rounds are changing, so I'm just curious as to how long those decisions usually take.
Thanks!
End of window to file complaints: 10pm Monday
(Hopeful) finishing reviewing of said complaints... Tues, similar time.
A large number of complaints, or limited steward availability may alter this. That, and technical issues, from time to time. But if there are no complaints against the winners, then after Monday eve, usually.
Watch for an announcement, usually from APMaddock, or Zer05ive, on that topic. :-)
AP1 DriverRoger that. 👍
I would like to joint
How do you display pictures? Attaching a Zip file?
Here are pictures from DIVISION 3. First attempt on photography. Hope you will like it and ENJOY.
Who installed the vertical takeoff option on their Lotus and how does that not count as tuning?
So what's going on tonight? I hope it doesn't involve qualifying.
Manual Monday!?
