How'd the racing go last night? My connection randomly took a dump for a couple hours midway through that first race. I still have no idea what happened, but it was aggravating.

We went ahead and raced, but we didn't take it too seriously. It was fun though.

I ended up winning the first race by a slim margin, but the rest of the races... I don't want to talk about it.
 
I'm looking forward to racing with you guys again saturday night.
I took the silvia for a spin this morning in the turtle club. She's a little light in the rear end once your up to speed, must not be much down force on the rear. But it's a fun ride. It should be an interesting race.

I think we should make side bets to see who is the first one to spin sideways into the pits...

:lol: I can't think of a race there when someone didn't manage to do that.
 
Thanks RO. It wasnt fair, but that's not our fault. I told AJ we didn't need all that BoP at Fuji, but hey noone listens to me, i just proved it to him instead! :lol:
The car was hopeless at Monza and WE got dominated, so it all evens out in the end. For some reason the DART team was very slow in their X-Bow. Maybe i need to talk to Euclid and help them out a little if i can.

Tonight was actually a pretty close race. Psycho and I traded the lead back and forth a few times as each of us went off track and/or pitted (we had to pit at least once and put on different compound tires). X-rad got sneaky, starting on hards and pitting at the end of lap 1 for mediums. Psycho and I made too many mistakes and X-rad made his mediums last to take the win. I finished 3rd, less than 7 seconds back. Psycho was only about 4 seconds behind in 2nd. Considering the race was almost 1 1/2 hours long, that was a heck of a close finish. We were happy to have Racing join us as well, and despite being a little bit behind us, he kept on trucking to the finish and beat the timer. :)

Now I know how Lewis Hamilton felt at Monaco. In practice I specifically tried to test the RH tires with low fuel to get an idea when it would be best to change to them, but when I pitted the dialog box disappeared when I tried to change the tire compound and it filled the car up and put new RMs on. I thought about going around and changing to the RHs, but I would have had a full tank and wouldn't have been able to get an accurate idea of the performance difference. Anyway, that glitch cost me the race win because I was 1 second a lap slower on RHs than I was on the worn RMs and I changed with 13 laps to go. If I had known the RHs where that much slower I guess I could have gone 38 laps on the RMs and changed with one lap to go, but that certainly wouldn't have been in the spirit of the rule. Time for a rule change.
 
I suggest this: we have a pit window at a certain point in the race that the pits will be open. You must make your pitstop in this window, if not, you get a penalty. Say, around 30 minutes if it's an hour race (25-35?). Thoughts? This is used in another series I'm in, it works fairly well.

I hadn't thought of that, but I like the possibilities of it. Thanks!
