Man, could you imagine lapping SSRX in the 100cc karts? Snail would be an apt name at that point I think.

Is that digital carbon fiber or the real thing? I would think digital would be lighter...
The SNAIL Racing Porsche GT3RS livery on the proper race car.
Must say this thing is a beauty! Got two complements on it last night while racing.
I get a little further along in iRacing I plan to start some sorta SNAIL backed series.

I just noticed something on the schedule of events. Can the Drivetrain Challenge be listed on Tuesday instead of Thursday? Not sure how many people look at this page, but newcomers may look for us on Thursday when we are racing on Tuesday at 10pm.
We raced for several weeks at 10:30pm to wait and see if anyone would migrate from the Kart series but no one ever did. So we are going back to 10pm since it is apparent neither of us are stealing drivers from the other.

Speaking of DTC (formerly PP Cap racing) If you are a new SNAIL and have never tried the series before why not give it a try. It is a relaxed environment with a great bunch of racers.

Look what came in the mail! I don't think I've been so excited about a package since the days of being a kid and getting 10 CD's for a penny (those where the days of Bon Jovi and Motley Crew. 
) Can't wait to get it rigged up somehow at the house... not sure how that's going to work out without a rig or a desk... any suggestions?

HUZZAH!!!! At Last!
Reviewed all 14 complaints/inquiries and my replays finally worked!
I just hope they get this team on the online issues ASAP, assuming this is an actual fix, not temporary.
Some start with TV Tray, or a simple desk, or a 2x4 or PVC (use at least 1/2", 3/4" or 1" would be better depending on design), but it seems Granstand Bill has a pretty nice product - and a discount for SNAIL members.... (hint, hint, hint!)

I felt the same way 2 weeks ago when I got mine. I'm making my own rig and I have all the materials to get started this weekend. For the past 2 weeks I've been using a TV dinner stand with 10-lb weights attached to bungees on each side for "stability". It's not an ideal set up, especially on tracks with turns (um, that's right), but it's better than holding it on my lap
Here is an generic image of the kind of stand I'm using:

I think I am also going to build my own following the Simul8r plans I found while searching the web... looks solid.
Guessing for now I'm going with the TV tray.

Will be away from the tracks for the better part of 2 weeks ........... overhaul of the setup. New wheel - GranStand Cockpit (Crew Chief insisted) - so will take a while to setup, etc.. See you around.

Ironing boards also work reasonably well, mostly because you can adjust the height. I used my dining room table at one point but 1. The height was fixed, 2. Since the tv was on the table, it would rock really badly when I would make a sudden turn, and 3. My fiance didn't really appreciate me dragging the table into the living room. I built my own rig out of 2x4s, scrap bolts and screws, and a beat up CRX seat my brother didn't want anymore. It was my own design and works perfectly.

Who's doing data for D2? Assuming my replays work I can do it, but need access to the Director's document again...

I suggest using epoxy to build your rig instead of PVC glue. Something that takes at least 5 minutes to set. This gives you some time to get pieces properly place. PVC glue will set extremely fast, causing possible complications getting thing properly aligned.I think I am also going to build my own following the Simul8r plans I found while searching the web... looks solid.
And since we are sharing, I'll take the chance to share mine, again, in all of its ugly glory!
here is my first rig
Then I upgraded to this when I got my G27
Now I race on this
As it stands now. In the basement. I am slowly building up a small man cave/ game room, a laundry room and a room for all of my daughters toys.
