Yeah I was watching the race streaming live. It was such a ball buster. This was a pretty special event 'cause though these guys have all raced each other before they've hardly ever done side by side racing like that. Interesting how different all the drivers styles and habits change when going from their rooms to a convention floor.

And notice all the socks! Lol, I was wondering about that in GT Academy, if they'd allow people to take their shoes off or not. I wouldn't wanna race with my street shoes xD

During the finals in Sweden 2008, it was allowed to race with socks only. 👍

Nice, level playing field I guess :D

I was surprised when I saw 3wide with gloves on. Made me chortle a bit.

You should try a round of FMSC with us DenDen. Would be fun much 👍
 
Ok, minor correction -- you started 2nd and finished 2nd. Still no Spud bonus points since you didn't gain any overall position by the end of the race.
 
Fair enough. Someone else mentioned that the bonus points were weighted a little too heavily against those who qualified at the top, so each position you improve at the finish is now worth 0.5 instead of 1 and I've given the 1st place finisher an additional 2 bonus spud points (on top of the 10 they already got for winning). New standing (sorry Hand)


 
On a different note!

I went to the hospital as usual for clinicals today. Fun day, had some cookies.

Went out to eat with the group after in NYC. I park my car(Mazdaspeed 3), get food, eat in the car, then my rear bumper decides to be the target of taxi car molestation. Cops got involved, the guy offered me $50 to repair my bumper. I laughed. Now I'm home. I'm not pissed. Just wondering how my parents will take the news when they hear about the rear bumper molestation. I imagine they'd say "Well you could have avoided this whole thing if you just went home and ate the food here." :lol: It's 2:01am est here. I'm tired. Talk to you guys later.

I would've loved to participate in both the IS-F cup and the FMSC, but race times is just impossible for me to manage. I did sign up for the IS-F cup, but when the schedule was decided I had no possibility to participate.
 
So, I take it, I'm the only one concerned that with spec and GT class quali now being administered in the same room - getting qualified would take twice as forever?

At least for this weekend we are on a longer track, so more than one car can qualify at the same time to speed things up.

I'd say 3 or 4 people at one time :) I'll be running the gt first in qualifying if thats okay :D

Maybe 2-3 tops. I keep track of sector times as well, so keep that in mind.

Also, for the Nurb GPF this weekend, you have to keep two tires on track for the lap to count. Not allowed to use the run-off areas. 👍
 
Here are the B-room point totals. To avoid confusion with the A-room points system and in honor of those dlsyexic people who keep butchering my name on the mic, I'm calling them Spud points. Besides, if 2nd place is the first loser, then I can think of no better mascot for the 16th-31st losers than the lowly potato.



Qualifying points are awarded based on the A-room pole. Race points are awarded on how close to first you were (by time). Bonus points are awarded on places gained over starting position...


If i am looking at this right does that say that graham got as many points as me in the GVER race? He finished behind me...shouldnt that mean he gets less then me?

Edit: Okay i see what you are doing? But i dont think you should award points on how close you are to someone. And i dont want to quote "Fast and the Furious" but "It doesnt matter if you win by and inch or a mile, winning is winning" I should have had more points then Graham. (For the race anyway)

That's not speeding up, that's just keeping it the same compared to CRI.
3-person quali here is 11 minutes, barely less per person than 1-person runs on CRI. And now add GT class...

More points for being further away then?

But you just did. :lol:

Apparently you still didn't read close enough:

We were separated by less than 1/10th of a second. That's extremely close. Would it satisfy you if I got 9.99 points instead? :crazy:

Also, what do you care? You won't be able to make any other races so you're going to drop in the Spud Point standings anyway. :P

Well that's also why I moved the qualifying times up a half hour. You don't have to sit around and wait if you don't want to, just get there early.

Also, is there somewhere else we can post these Spud points? Don't want to get them mixed up with all the official stuff....
 
I was just watching through the race replay. I don't even see Wardez on the track. I took pictures of various finishes, and Wardez's car never appears. The only reason I know he was in the race, is because of the finishing positions posted on page 1.

Wardez, I hope I didn't hit you anywhere during the race. I don't remember having any strange phantom contact. I sure hope I didn't punt you or cut you off somewhere. So fricking strange, that I had what I thought to be a completely normal race, but can't see you at all.

I will have to post the picture of the finish of 3rd through 5th. Your car isn't there.

The fact to matter is, is that you finished behind me. What is the point for giving the same amount of points to second that you do for first? A points chart needs to be set in what position you finished in not by "how close" you were to first. It dont make sense, hints why most motorsports dont use that. But it doesnt matter about my points cause im not even in the series anymore just trying to but my foot in the door about this "points" thing everyone is trying to bring into this series instead of running on what turbo has proposed. Yes, i think it was smart to try and suggest something to him and see if he will use it. But if he chooses not to please dont try and cram it down his troat and keep posting about it. Please if you are unhappy with the series and how it is ran, either start your own, or join another. Not to sound so rude guys but this is getting kinda annoying.

Okay on a side note, my steering wheel is in Grove City, OH!!👍
 
Only 2 people looking at this thread right now? I'm disappointed in you all. Y'all better be online tonight.
