Kal, what is a good deep forest lap time with the z28 if you dont mind me asking? I seem to be stuck at right around 1:13 flat with occasional 1:12.9x

Best Online Time for me is 1:10:586. A guy with a steering Wheel managed a 1:09:8XX I believe. Look up 69' Camaro Z/28 RM Discussion and there is a thread on there.
 
Few Pictures from last meet up.

Are we racing Sunday at 8 EST like last week? Which tracks are we going to be on then? It was a blast last week and met a great bunch of guys and hope it keeps growing..
 
Sent the car and I apppreciate anything you can do for it to make it better..

Just of of curiosity did you ever try it at Deep Forest, and if you did what was your best time?

That can work. I'll be glad to host once again if wanted.

I didn't run it a Deep Forest and only ran a few laps at Laguna Sega. Isn't as fast as my Mustang Mach I. My RM Camaro is working pretty good and wanted to run two cars the same make.

Yes I think it would be great if you hosted this week you did a great job last Sunday. Are we going to run Deep Forest this week? Any other tracks?

I do not believe we are entirely ready for a main event deal. I was thinking we will start where we left off, aka maybe Indy road course, than Daytona road course, then Daytona. then Laguna (trial 25 race) Your Camaro Currently does 1:14-1:15 laps on Deep Forest. That's without the Stage 3 engine upgrade as well.

Wow that sounds like a runner.. I'm not quit as good a driver as you are but I should be able to hold my own and not be in the way so much this week..

Boy you are my hero to be able to run those times.. Best I can do is 1:20 and with my RM'd Challenger I can get in the 1:14.. My Mustang Mach I I get 1:18. I guess I'll get spanked real good tonite..lol

Do you use TCS? It will kill your lap times ALOT.
 
Im still looking into what car i will be using in group one, debatimg which Fors to use but i still cant beat or come close to your lap time in Deep Forest. Closest i got was in my '69 GT40 a 1:12.5xx. I gotta say that is one hell of a fast car you got there if i cant beat you in my GT40. I will keep trying my friend!

Well, Due to my Phone being stupid, it had done the Daylight savings Time correct, was stuck in the wrong time zone from my recent travels. So I had the room open really late.

So all in all, tonight was not very successful at all.

Clean up the room,if people can't drive then they should go practice some more.I really don't like being punted around a track because someone does not know how to brake or wants to cut across the grass and smash into me.I understand accidents will and do happen but last night was a joke,just plain terrible driving.👎

Don't attribute one person driving to everybody. You make it seem last night was every one being a jerk. I believe I will be running the rooms now with Penalties on.

Also, not every time you get hit from behind braking into a corner is on purpose. There have been many times in which I was following some one, and they braked way early compare to what I do and I was unable to avoid hitting them. If I knock them off the Track I normally wait for them to get back in front of me and resume racing.

I will be creating an official Thread here soon and will be implementing rules and the regulations. I will expect everyone to follow them if participation in the series is to be successful.


I will also hopefully be having a second person that will take over if I do not have the room ready or have other matters in life to deal with.

Will have link here for the official thread once created.
 
Look if i was getting in anyones way i apologize but i decided to drift since i was in the back of the pack. I still have alot of tuning to do since i wasn't able to compete as well as last time.
 
Penalties don't fix bad drivers. I personally don't like penalties. Mostly because I hate phantom cars that are somtimes there and somtimes not. Also being able to shortcut to avoid a collision is a nice option. Instead of being forced to stay on the track knocking you and/or someone else off the track.

Maybe allow driving line. That would help some people that are not to familiar with certian track(s) & it's braking points.

I'm pretty sure this was directed towards me.

I've been rather busy the last couple weeks and haven't played in a while, so I'm a tad rusty. I apoloigize for knocking you around and will try to race more cleanly in the future.

I sent you a message after the first race.The guy cannot drive the cars we were using.Set-up,driving line and penalties won't help someone who cannot handle the car they are driving.Last time I checked I do believe the brake lights come on these cars.You can drive and I have no issue with you or skelator.I understand,but there is certain rules to driving (racing) that apply.Drifting because you don't have the right set-up is a prime example.
