You had less to type and quote

I can't help it if you quoted unnecessary posts.
Lucky for me I decided to leave work when I did after the network puked its guts out.

Now, for a call to @msgt-sd for some more google docs wizardry. Take that little matrix and automate a post template?

 

[turnupdaheat]

The upshot of all this is that we will have a very democratic couple of combo selections this week.

Historically speaking, Decision by committee is terrible

Things can eventually change


I'll be opening a Club Lobby in a few moments & Testing out 3 cars at Suzuka Circuit 2014


NSX Type R 02' *

Mine's GT-R premium

Blitz GT-R Premium


I always dream't of The Type R at Suzuka as a desirable Prize A

-But these days it's my #2 option.

If I ever win a legitimate Prize A,
beware we may not break 100mph

Historically speaking, Decision by committee is terrible

Won't be a decision by committee. In this case, the committee proposes, decision by the one.

My personal suggestion for the shared
D1 Prize A - that we go with the

CONGRATS @TEX36 ON THE DIVISION 5 WIN....OUR RESIDENT SENIOR SNAIL IS HAVING A BANNER SEASON!!!! MUCH RESPECT SIR 👍

On a side note...I will have to abstain from making a suggestion for a track to run the Kart on. Heading out to a concert with the Mrs and have no time to look for a replacement. I suck at karts anyway

 

[TomMang_68]

Sorry @TEX36

@TEX36 still gets to choose a track but only from the track selections made by @singlepaddy @Drewspeed @TBongX @pubason @basswerks1 @cliff eden @BustedFoSho

 

[MajorBlixem]

I'm "Out of the Office" See you guys in 2 weeks!

 

[Drewspeed]

Yes, @Die_Birdy_Die is correct. I confused myself and didn't catch it. Anyways, since @TEX36 already had Prize C this month, he cannot get it again. If you raced in D5 on Sunday, please suggest 1 track for the the Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 Shifter. Remember, only make 1 suggestion. The deadline for suggestions is 11:59 pm ET tonight.

@singlepaddy @Drewspeed @TBongX @pubason @basswerks1 @cliff eden @BustedFoSho

I suggest Silverstone The Stowe Circut for the kart combo. Karts on a kart track should be fun. I ran 49 second laps when testing the combo out.

 

[JLBowler]

It appears as if the prize selection process is updated and rolling now with one minor exception. I will update the whole thing right here, right now.

Tex is waiting for the rest of D5 that raced this week to make suggestions for a track to take the kart. He will be choosing from those selections.

D1 is making suggestions for prize A but only because @socalnatv voluntarily opened it up to suggestions. We are awaiting his decision on whether he is going to choose from the suggestions or leave it to league vote. Once I get that answer from him, I will post it here.

Thank you @CoachMK21 for taking the ball and running with it while I was at work.

 

[TEX36]

Waiting and Testing the suggestions.

 

[cliff eden]

my suggestion in brands hatch indy circuit 80's

 

[JLBowler]

@socalnatv will be making his choice from the suggestions given by D1 drivers for prize A.

 

[TEX36]

Going to the GT-1 Series practice.
Will check thread afterwards.
Around 11pm Eastern.

 

[pubason]

My suggestion is Autumn ring -Mini we are running around 38,s

 

[TEX36]

Have seen 3/7 D-5 suggestions and 1 pass. Will not be able to wait much longer.
Early day tomorrow in High School

They have just under an hour to get them in. If you can't wait that long, it can be done in the morning without issue.

Hello,

I would like to join for the new season starting April 5th.

I am an experienced racer looking to add to his race calendar for the next few months

@MikeGrove

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @Dragonwhisky, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive as participants. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

A few weeks late, but happy 1 year anniversary to me too!


It's difficult to put into words just how much fun I have racing with Snails.

You guys are the best, & special thanks to everyone who makes it possible - week in week out.

3 Cheers for the World's very best Sim Racing Organization.

@socalnatv @JLBowler @CoachMK21

Update: @socalnatv has stated that he will do some testing and have a choice ready between 4:00 and 4:30 PM Pacific time on Thursday.

 

[JLBowler]

Double posting to keep the messages separate so keep the fish to yourself.

@TEX36 these are your choices for prize B.

I suggest Silverstone The Stowe Circut for the kart combo. Karts on a kart track should be fun. I ran 49 second laps when testing the combo out.

[Rednose58]

To help with the room set-up for Thursday practice, here is the summary of choices for Prize A, including tire choice and number of laps. So, whatever @socalnatv chooses - this table can be used to set the room up for that combo.

For @TEX36 's choice I will try and follow the thread, but I will be a bit busy with that "W" thing. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Miss running with you. Some day again, hopefully sooner than later.

You're definitely one of the "good ones".

@Gr8_Lakes 'er Bish,,,LOL the same can be said for you good Sir.Maybe someday I will be able to justify the expense of buying the PS4,WHEEL/ADAPTER.PCARS/GT7,,,,,,combo of goods and services to continue in this addiction I am trying to wean myself from so I can study to get another degree to get another job so I can afford to feed my addiction!

 

[TEX36]

For the Kart race: Silverstone The Stowe Circuit.
This track may be easier in Hot Lap practices - but racing will require some concentration and anticipation.
Turns 1 & 2 will be "difficult" to see and for a Pack to get through without someone going OB. It would probably be wise to exercise more patience and planning to execute "Clean Passing" on this circuit.
Remember ....... the Race is seldom won in the first turn of the race.

Question: Will you rise to the challenge or just grumble?

Grumble! I was hoping for Brands hatch indy

 

[TomMang_68]

I always thought Stowe was a section of the Silverstone GP circuit but its actually inside the circuit. ((wink,wink)) @socalnatv

Can we drive stowe with the chicanes? I know it's not the official course but it's so much better without that huge straight.

More turns for more chances at an OOB penalty? no thanks
