Yeah, I've had enough fun braking for turn 1 and voted for 3. Combo 1 was awesome once I figured it out. Who picked that?

I think it was Gumball....I liked that combo as well, have to say.

Yup, it was Gumball's pick and I really enjoyed it as well. I think it was the most fun out of the three tonight. In actuality, I heard more complaints about the Tesla's engine noise (or lack thereof) than anything else. But I think the lack of more than one gear is what doomed it.

Here are the official results from our league night on September 23rd, 2012. As a reminder, we will no longer limit each division to winning Prize A and Prize B only once per month. Instead will will limit each driver to winning Prize A and Prize B to once a month.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Tesla Motors Tesla Roadster '08 @Deep Forest Raceway / Reverse
Therefore it has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since Priest8 wins Prize A, he gets to decide which car and track will replace it.

The round that received the second most votes was:
Round 3 - Aston Martin DB9 Coupe '06 @Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Therefore, either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since A_Higher_Place gets Prize B, he gets to decide which is replaced and what replaces it.

spooble gets Prize C, so he gets any gift car ticket listed here.

 

[DrKronin]

But I think the lack of more than one gear is what doomed it.

It was more fun than I expected, but the lack of shifting is what made me end up disliking it. I discovered this week that I use engine noise frequency to estimate corner entry speed subconsciously. I had some trouble adapting to the sound of the electric motor and the inability to modulate engine braking.

Still, a good choice, based on the racing it produced in D2. 👍

 

[dabneyd]

I like the Tesla, but I hate Deep Forest Reverse. The NSX is super-fun at Madrid. I could take or leave the Aston.

 

[fzappa]

Any one happen to snap some photos in d2

I'll post some pics tomorrow evening when I get home. Haven't posted any pictures lately because of the new job has been taking up my time.
I will get them up as soon as possible!

[JazzNine]

lol I fell asleep. Sucks I worked really hard on it too, but at least the NSX is staying. I hope monza stays I love that track.

 

[tezgm99]

The NSX is super-fun at Madrid. I could take or leave the Aston.

Completely opposite for me

 

[jobyone]

Just a reminder that jobyone is hosting some late-night S.N.A.I.L. action in D1 lounge right now. Join up if you want to run tonight's combos again (especially the Tesla because it got rocked hard by tonight's elimination vote ).

I would join, but I'm working on the preliminary results post. It'll be posted within one hour.

Was a quiet night. But I will try again if I can not make the main races. Was fun running through the combos. I sure missed the racing. I must say I started to like the Tesla But I do think I have fallen in love with the NSX I know it has been around for a while but it a great car. DB9 is dependable. I look forward to the new combos.

 

[Wolfsatz]

This race complain is going to take hours to file haha. Dirty Dirty racecraft in D5 tonight, lots of mistakes, accidents, and poor judgement. I am guilty of this as well.

But still a lot of Phun! I think that D5 needs to enforce a mike check; A lot of comments of 'personal nature' & little cursing in between! Come on guys, enjoy the game.

Not a good impression for 1st time SNAILs.

A lot of 1st lap race craft improvement over all the field is needed!

 

[Handlebar]

Wolfsatz speaks the truth.

I apologize for contributing to the unusually negative vibe in D5. Frustration was getting the better of me.

We missed a guy

 

[A_Higher_Place]

What's a "rally base car" ? I see it as a prize for the C winner.

 

[AMWeaver47]

I had a power surge in my house about 3 minutes before race 1 started so my night didn't start out great. I was like NOOOOO!!! Plus I had like 6 other things that I couldn't stop thinking about and my driving quality suffered. So I wanted to apologize for quitting early but I was just too far out of my element.

On the subject of the Tesla, I kind of liked it but the lack of engine noise and gears threw me off. I really liked throwing it through the first turn though.

The opposite of a "rally acid car"?

 

[Chiochan]

I think I saw a rally acid car at a festival this year.

no way!

 

[Chiochan]

Higher do you live in Perry Sound all year long?

Higher do you live in Perry Sound all year long?

Consider it "home base" in between what ever contract work I can pick up. Why do you ask?


Grammar Nazi: Parry* Sound

 

[Chiochan]

Just wondering. I went fishing there once in Sept, and it was Brutally cold. If that's your home base you are hardcore!

That's the stereotypical American I know

EDIT: Catch anything? I'm quite the fisherboymandude myself.

 

[Chiochan]

I do live in Central New York, so I can handle the snow and cold, But that is another level. Caught some smallmouth and panfish but it was so windy and cold we had to go in. We were going to go bear hunting but I didn't want to shoot a bear. Looked like the whole town was getting ready to leave for the winter.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Yeah not much happens during the winter here. Town has nothing as it is, just sights to see. Which is why our summers are busy. Just full of young folk like me looking for work and retirees.

You guys can keep the cold. I'm not that far south, but I'd rather have the heat and humidity.

In Michigan it can be 100° in the summer and 0° in the winter plus 2 feet of"lake effect" snow. Crazy.

Thank you Great lakes. That sums it up for me also. Kinda sucks cause you have to have so many clothes. The seasons are really cool and we grow good produce though.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Edit: Yep, race 5 I touched the grass under braking and lost it, taking out Luhsix, and race six i squeezed out maddock. guess I'll take some penalties for those. Vol, I'll be sending you a PM tomorrow with corner and time stamps, if those two dont get to it before me.

It's Zohsix 👍, and I won't be filing a complaint. It's not like you did it on purpose or were being too aggressive. I didn't stand a chance in that race anyway. I had 0 practice, and knowing the braking points is everything on that track. I didn't even get a clean qualifying lap. So don't worry about it too much.

I love having the seasons so I wouldn't trade it. Where do you live in New York?
