◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[mopar440]

Ok, snailers, although the original idea wasn't mine, I'm willing to put together an experimental "R U faster than a redneck" GT5/S.N.A.I.L. version.
This is not suppose to be a regular S.N.A.I.L. competition but a funny event that we can put together once in a while if it provides the ultimate fun that we keep searching for so the basic idea is putting together 8 "imports" drivers vs 8 american muscles drivers in a track with this (so far) proposed and open to discussion general rules:

- Every driver picks up a car and tunes it to a max of 530pp* including everything available on tuning shop making sure we have 8 cars of each cathegory.

- All the imports have to be FR* to match the muscles in terms of drivetrain

- It would be good some of the imports being from the 70's and 80's to match the older muscles technologically speaking.

- Every race would be a head to head, 3 lapper between a muscle and an import.

- The events should be held in short but fast tracks creating even chances for both categories.

- After the 8 races we will find out if... R U FASTER THAN A REDNECK???

* open to ideas

I'm in. I'm a redneck, no other ideas just yet but I'll think

Off Topic: Does anyone know what happened to TEX-36 as he doesn't sign in for almost a month? It's kinda worrying me because, as most of you know, he's our lovely granddaddy and i really hope this absence as nothing to do with health issues.

i was thinking the same thing earlier today. sending out prayers and good vibes. return to us tex

He Was Working On Moving, But I Did Expect To See Him Back By Now. I Hope He's Alright Too

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Joe! That was fun! thanks for coming out and giving touge a try. I would love to get a bunch of SNAILs out and try an open challenge and perhaps a bracket competition. As much fun as we had, imagine having a few more people to run with. Anyone interested, I suggest making a track and learning it. As Joe found out, home court advantage can be big.

That was my first time doing touge and had a great time. Will have to do that again. 👍

Put me down on the import list.

Also a 1967 ticket would be awesome. Thank you.

Hey Tex, your S.N.A.I.L. buddies want to know everything is OK. Hope you're back on track soon 👍

Count me in as a Redneck, just a thought, i wouldn't mind going up against GTRs and Supras with my Z06 or SS, you think we could have some newer muscle battling with newer imports ?

 

[Wolfsatz]

Put me down on the import list.

Also a 1967 ticket would be awesome. Thank you.

Import Driver as well. 👍

 

[dangerzone641]

Import Driver as well. 👍

Same here, also maybe we should do it on a custom track that we make at the event

 

[OwensRacing]

Redneck!

 

[LondonDTM]

import giggiti

 

[Wolfsatz]

Redneck!

Well that answers the question.... I am not faster than a Redneck

But sure I'll put a contest!

 

[Schmiggz]

Oh for sure... it's gotta be a mix of the older beasts and the more recent ones. 👍

Ok, so far we have the following list of "guinea pigs":

REDNECKS: Mopar 440, Martin20az, RickyBobby and OwensRacing
IMPORTS: Schmiggz, Albtifosi, WolfSatz, GTPDangerZone641 and VagStar.

So please step forward another 4 rednecks and another 3 imports so we can start talking about car selection, max pp and event track

So.. question.. once the drivers come forward... are we planning to do what the show does? 3 Lap Head to Head? Or a mix of all 8 vs 8 on the same track?

What is the tentative format?

Team read neck.
Just gonna put it out there my ideal Are you faster than a redneck would involve rednecks driving an array of Chevy trucks while the imports consist of tiny euro cars, would be way more realistic than the show

 

[Rallywagon]

What day/time are we looking to do this? I may be in depending on that.

I'm driving an Iroc Z mullet is brushed out and ready to flow via the t top winds.

 

[JLBowler]

Being from Louisiana and traveling amongst the Deep South I can confirm this to be true

In other news i squatted 315 for 2 sets of 5 today, new pb

Nice, you almost squatted what I weigh. When I was in high school, they gave us shirts for the 1200, 1300, 1400, and so on club shirts. It was based on combined bench, dead lift, and squat. You had to be able to throw it up three times for it to count and you had to do it back to back to back. I still have my 1700lb club shirt in a box somewhere. 430 bench, 670 dead lift, and 600 squat is what got me the shirt. Of course this was almost 20 years ago. The football players at the high school where I live now are thrilled if they can get to 1000 combined.

 

[Rallywagon]

One we get a locked down time, (10 EDT?) then I'll commit. If I can, then I'll run on the american side, old school, AC 427 S/C 66

 

[Wolfsatz]

Wolf look at this post

So for those of you that already signed up and may be interested; I like the whole concept with the exception of the 'tuning part'.

- Every driver picks up a car and tunes it to a max of 530pp* including everything available on tuning shop making sure we have 8 cars of each cathegory.

I think this will just create huge gaps; I would think its best to leave it SNAIL style of tuning prohibited to try go get as close racing as possible.

Either set a PP or HP limit and run whatever car you can drive fastest.

Thoughts?

 

[Schmiggz]

The show is completely unfair so rednecks obviously always win. Here we're making everything as even as possible and all the cars will have the same max pp that is still to decide.

What day/time are we looking to do this? I may be in depending on that.

That's our next step after we have the whole crew. Decide the event details.

What about Friday nights, there isn't an event there

It's a possibility.

Another thing i would like to add is...
Who's putting the challenge? As the show's name clearly show us, rednecks are, so, what i'm thinking is, after everyone's in the room and import drivers know exactly what cars the rednecks have to race, i will do a quickly draw to make the challenge line up, meaning, i will draw IMPORT DRIVERS to see who challenges first, second, third, until the eight so in every race the import driver challenges one of the necks of his own choice. (i wish my English vocabulary was more extensive but i hope you understand what i'm trying to say )
In the meantime we have to try to figure out the best pp limit. We can even have two classes. One in the lower 500's and another in the higher 500's.

 

[dangerzone641]

How about we set a pp, a hp, and a weight that you must have, and then maybe put boost on low so that the D1 guys don't just demolish a D5 guy if they get paired up against him

 

[TEX36]

Howdy SNAILers - Thanks for your thoughts and prayers ....... all were truely needed.
Moving is such a wonderful experience ....... Yeah, right.
The "stuff" is all in one place and inside - but far from being put away. Still in that "Where is this going? Where is ___ I saw it just a minute ago?" mode of existence. If all goes perfectly, I'll try and be On Track toward the end of the week.
Have missed "My Addiction" a lot. Might even have a Man-Cave Corner when all is set up.
Thanks again for your thoughts,
TEX

Like i said before, all the event details are still open for discussion but in that particular case, non tuning will cause a problem as all the import car choices have to be tremendously restrict to keep the even balance with the few muscles the game offers plus, we will have to wait for the necks's choices, check they're car's output to choose ours in conformity because the main setting of this competition will be cars being as even as possible as the same thing with drivers will be impossible!!! So far, rednecks have 3 D1's, 1 D3 and 1 D5. Imports have 1 D1, 2 D3 and 2 D4
