I can appreciate that the west coast guys will be up early. This is the first time I won't have to suffer for a race. The Thursday races usually leaves me 4-5 hours of sleep before heading to work in the morning.

The time contraption (commonly called a laptop) will be ready.
 
I hope the pay out at the end works. Everyone should get a nice chunk tomorrow if it does
 
I'm set... Got my car tuned, painted, washed and ready for tomorrow.. Strategy is set, not quite what i wanted but will make due. Think that will cost me the class win... Hopefully everyone else struggles though also, lol.
 
Probably gonna sit out. I have no tune, not prepared at all haha. I might come, but if I don't, don't worry. Next time I should be prepared, good luck everyone

With hard tires and heavy damage on I'm sure everyone has a chance. I wonder how many cars we will see limping back to the pit? I wonder how many undamaged cars will run into damaged cars? Can't wait.

You'll be fine. Hop in with a quick tune. You'll make it.

I intentionally hit the wall during practice to see if I could drive with damage. Of course I expect to do something stupid tomorrow.

don't worry about it. Enjoy the race. I don't expect to win either but with a competition caution half way we all have a chance.

don't sweat it just enjoy the race. I'm only running 1:52's. If I did well with the 458 I would share my tune. I don't think my tune would help anyone. I have the rear coming around during trail braking. Handling under power is good. If you want it, let me know. Heck, send a friend request and I'll share the car.
 
My strategy is no strategy! I haven't got a tune I'm happy with nor checked for tire wear. Just winging it. Guess I'll do some practice laps tonight. Very happy with my car color though!

Looks like no one else wants the Viper-probably a bad sign.

Yeah the caution really screws my strategy, lol. Though, with a shortened stint I can push harder and not worry about making them last.

I can get 20ish laps on tires. I'll stop once before and after CC. My challenge will be to ignore other car and just run my race.

I ended up using a car I had and earlier painted a color I liked. I won't be able to be ugly tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to it. It will make the race competitive. No one can run away with it. There's no points so let's have a great race and enjoy. I'm looking forward to running with guys I don't know.

Yeah, i can only get 16-17, leaving me to force another stop.

Well the DP's will run 80some laps but GT will probably run 60 some laps. Just under 2 minutes per lap...... you can make it 17 laps so you should be fine. One stop before and after CC. No sweat....just enjoy.

My rough calculations would be 4 laps down by mid way, so 39 laps or 19/20 if doing a 2 stop... Out side my range.

Hopefully 3 fast stints will equal out.
 
Uh oh, need to get up in 4 hours 45 minutes, hope I don't fall asleep at the wheel!!!
 
Good Morning!

Racers, please try to be in my lounge prior to 9am eastern. My lounge will be open at 8:30am eastern for practice. I need to get a head count for the public lobby. If you can't make my lounge but are still racing pm me here prior to 9am and I'll hold a spot for you. See you all shortly
 
Cant believe my engine blew up on lap 14. My game has never froze like that before, everbody else get through ok?

Scorpian very sorry about the contact , i was sure we could get down that stretch between the horse shoes but I guess the kink put me into your side of the road ? I really do my best to make it contact free. Thats Karma for me, bump a GT car engine explodes.
 
Good race. Congrats to RR and Tissimo for their class wins. I'll set up something else like this in a couple months. Or maybe in conjunction with Sebring.

Good race everyone. JT that race was yours. If you didn't wreck I would have ran out of fuel. I just made it by 3/4 throttling the last 5 laps
 
Thanks JT and RR for putting this on. Best idea was the break. One more lap and I don't think I could have made it! Tough break JT, figured you had it in the bag. Congrats to RR and Tissimo. Hey, Tissimo next time run the fast cars! j/k.

There was a fun battle for 2nd thru a major portion of the race. Nice driving cb and Envy. We had some close quarters racing and never made contact. It's so cool to race with people you can trust with good track judgement.

Was very pleased with the Viper. That car is very mellow @450hp and a predictable handler. Made for extremely consistent lap times.
