Sure is, we haven't officially kicked off the season yet. Are any of the posted days good for you? We're going to run 3 separate races (each night has its own points standing) on Tuesday night at 8:15pm EDT, Friday night at approx 10:00pm EDT and Saturday afternoon's at 2:00pm EDT. Let me know which night would be best for you, and you're welcome to run in as many of them as you like.

elginge, you've been added to the list. We need more drivers on Saturday, so that sounds perfect.
I might try to host a practice race this Saturday but I'm going to be pretty busy with Indy 500 activities (we're having Bump Day on Saturday) so it will depend on how that goes. I'll try to host a practice Capp race before that so it suits your guys' time zones. 👍

Sorry guys, I got disconnected and couldn't log back on. But my internet is working fine. It was about time for me to hop off anyway, I work early.
I'm going to hold some practice races on Saturday, we'll do qualifying and a couple 10-12 lap races on a couple different tracks. Then we can start the official season next week. I'll get in touch with alternate hosts and firm up the schedules so everything's organized and ready to go. 👍

I should be able to have a practice room open between 5 and 7 pm EDT tonight if anybody's looking to get some practice/tuning done. 👍

Hey Mule, are you still interested in hosting the races on Friday nights? If so, what time are you thinking? I put 10 pm EDT as a place-holder but if later works for you that's probably fine. Let me know and I'll update it.

I should have a room open around 2 or 2:30pm EDT and we could get some racing under way around 3. How does that work for you guys?

No, that's in about 3.5 hours. I'm having an Indy 500 qualifying room open from 11:00 to about 1 or 1:30. Then grab a bit of lunch and open a Cappuccino room. Does that still work for you?

Vatrox is correct. This is going to kind of be our dry run to make sure everyone's ready. We'll do a couple medium length races with a qualifying session before each one and we'll try 2 or 3 different tracks.
As for qualifying, what we found out is that as long as everyone stays in the pits and doesn't go back to the lobby they will be started in their correct order. So once qualifying is started everyone must stay in the pits or on the track. Once you have entered the course for qualifying you cannot go back to change settings or watch the race, you are in "park firme" conditions.
I will reset the track to clear all the times and instruct everyone to go to the pits. I will then set the automatic start timer for 10 minutes, once the time has started everybody must stay in the pits or on track. I will release drivers one at a time in 10 second intervals based on their order on the right side of the screen. The objective is to try to give everyone clean track and no traffic for their qualifying runs. If you enter the track from the pits near somebody on a hot lap try your best to stay out of their way. Everybody should try to keep plenty of distance between them and other cars so everybody has plenty of opportunity for a clean run.
If there are any problems with traffic we might try doing it in staggard groups but we'll try it like this for now. We will start with the fastest first.
