Nice pics, I really like the "conga line" shot! 👍

FYI - NBC did choose to 'flex' the Redskins vs. Cowboys to the finale, the Sunday Night Football slot at 8:30 pm, next Sunday, 12/30.

I will not be racing that evening. :dopey:

I take it you will be busy cheering on the cowboys;)
 
Interesting S.N.A.I.L. Facts​

Over the course of a year S.N.A.I.L. has had 196 different drivers, that have raced 252 times on 82 distinct Car/Track Combinations. We've raced 56 different cars on 42 unique tracks.

For those of you that think we're running out of things to do, consider this.

To date, GT5 has 71 tracks, that leaves us 29 tracks to choose from. There are over 1000 cars in GT5, roughly 20% of them are Premium. That leaves approximately 144 cars that have not been driven Sunday night. Not to mention the other 80% that will cycle through the Online Car Dealership.

Think we can get 'er done in the next year ;)

:cheers: S.N.A.I.L.'s

Ah....notsomuch... HTTR!

(I am currently running #10, Burgundy and Gold colors....)

Kcheeb, does that mean we can choose snow or gravel???

Sounds fun, if so, but not for Steward/clean racing...
 
Snow and gravel should not be used in SNAIL. Imagine the problems the reverse grid will cause, then, when the previous winner can't see anything ahead of him save for dust or snow 10 seconds after the green...

Sadly true. I guess my dark dream of an FGT race on Chamonix will never be reality :lol:

We could use those courses for a live TT or something though. Everyone spread out over a large snow course with rally (or whatever) cars in free run would be fun. I love GT5/SNAIL. So many options. Now I just need a free night to actually do some of them :)
 
I am sure I am probably the only S.N.A.I.L. currently with some free time so I am heading to D1 for a cruise/practice. Come join me. You never know what might happen.

Whew! I was hoping to have the shirts to you guys in time for Christmas! Looks like a few got there just in time! :P

Be sure to thank kcheeb for the shirts as well!! :)

Thanks Zer05ive and Kcheeb for all that you do for the league. I have named a couple of Snails in my fish tank after ya'll.
As of right now the Zer05ive Snail is just hanging on a rock and the Kcheeb Snail is riding on the back of another snail...Hmmm..:lol:
 
Either the kcheeb snail is trying to start a spec race (are all of your snails of the same species?) or he's as charming with the ladies as his namesake!

Nice shots, ken 👍

One question though...why is the #99 being used given I have no recollection of anyone, other than myself, requesting it? I don't mind sharing it but please tell us you want to use the number :)

That is funny...
I bought a couple of Snails a few months ago. I have two little girls and they picked one snail each. When we brought them home and put them in the tank. About a week later on of them had babies. There was about 40 baby snails floating around in the tank. Of course some died and now there are about 25 to 30 that survived.

Far as their species...really don't know how to tell unless you had a powerful microscope. :embarrassed:

It is funny to watch them get on the shell of another snail and ride him around.

Is that you in the Jag purple paint job VOL? Team Flying Goat lives!!
Click to expand...

Yes, it is.

That was the color I ran when the S15 RM originally ran, so I kept the car painted that color. I did run the FD and NSX RM in yellow, and kept my number 3.

As to this picture, that was the highlight of my evening. I really did get a fantastic clean pass on Wolf. I followed him through a couple of corners and was able to close down the distance and make this pass just after the Schumacher S.

I expected Wolf to pass me back later in the race. And I didn't care. I had gotten one on him and was tickled.

I am surprised at how many of these pictures I was in. I only think I ran by myself for one race out of the six. I really was battling the whole night. That just goes to show you how tight the races can be when you have fun, well behaved cars on good fun courses.
 
Ok, I didn't exactly 'decide' on my lonesome to take on anyone in that photo... Let's just say I was there by 'committee decision.'

And on that bombshell...

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone.

Be sure to give your "Baby Stig" the right stuff (necklace, hotel shampoo, and electronics, as needed), and best wishes to all.

I know I know... I was trying to be funny! :sly::crazy:

I think the fun started before the curve and you got bumped from behind which made you loose on entry... and then everyone just plowed through!

Anyway, makes for great pictures!

I think I may need to requalify for a division. I'm making the jump from the DS3 to a G27 which I got today, so I doubt I'm going to be as quick as I was before while I'm learning to use the wheel.

Oops, that would be me. As you can see from my avatar I like the number 99 :P I don't mind sharing it though. I should also mention that I always paint my cars lavender as well.

Anyways, Merry Christmas Snail's, and good luck in the new year!
 
Wife and kids gave me some nice Top Gear gear. I think I will keep em for another year, I suppose (the family... The gifts will last).

I Have updated the spreadsheet for your color and shared number:)
 
Just now finally getting it all back together. Sunday night started out to be a great deal of fun.... But THEN the Bat Phone went off in the middle of one of the races and I had to spend the rest of the night and most of the next day chasing outages in a snow storm...:ouch: Oh well, it was bound to happen on a race night eventually.

Happy Birthday to SNAIL and Merry Christmas to all! Thank you to all of the administration and drivers and look forward to another great year in SNAIL!!
 
Dabney. I don't know that the progressive spring is needed for the G27 any more. I recently got mine and the spring that comes with it is definately progressive in resistance. I don't know if this is someting Logitech changed or not.
 
Congratulations to the winners of the S.N.A.I.L. One Year Anniversary GTPedia Prizes. A pm has been sent you with instructions on how to redeem your prize.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

I guess I better post my selection for next week races. I am choosing to say goodbye to the Audi TT. Not a bad car but I feel it was just a bit to slow and did not offer enough of a challenge at the Nurb GP/F track. So my choice is to go with an even lower PP car. But I do feel that my choice should be fun, challenging and promote some more good close racing.

1990 MAZDA RX-7 GT-X (FC) '90

I hope you like the choice.

Joby
