I would actually like to do this, but the heavy damage will prevent it. Too easy at Daytona for others to completely ruin your race. Other tracks, I could see it. No bump drafting either.

I didn't realize how much the heavy damage damages the car when bump drafting. I'll set it to Light.

Thanks for that. :)

I'm interested if we limit tires to racing hard, and ditch the full damage. Not sure if it's best to do it on the same weekend as the actual race though. Maybe the weekend before?

Edit: Here ya go. Gave it some "pop" too. :)

Firstly, thanks for the picture! It looks brilliant. :)

I've ditched the Heavy damage, as mentioned above.

The weekend before might be a bit more convenient. It's been changed. :)

About the tires, I've changed that too.

So, are any of you interested now? :)

If I'm reading this right, 2300 GMT is 1800 Eastern Standard Time (USA), correct?
If so, I might just be crazy enough to do it.
A lot could change though as I will be changing shifts at work within a week. If I do not have work obligations, I will do it.
I would like to tentatively reserve the 2011 Tony Stewart Chevy Impala #14.

Yes, you are correct. 👍

I will reserve that 2011 Tony Stewart Chevy Impala #14 for you, don't worry now. ;)
 
This is a bit too late for me unfortunately, as I would really like to take part. An hour or two earlier and it would be perfect :(
 
R1600Turbo
Can I reserve the #20 Gamestop Toyota for the time being?

Ok. I suppose I'll let one 2010 car in there. :lol:

I am about 80% sure. The only change would be if my son wants to do it on his account (speedskater901)

Registration info:
GTP = jjbmoto
PSN = speedskater900
car = not sure (I am not at home to check to see if I have a 2011 nascar car)

Thanks, Jon
