Group C Endurance League Starting Saturday January 4th, 2025, Open 7pm, Qualifying 8pm, Race 8:45pm Eastern USOpen

[Cold Warrior]

1 Day and 12 hours until the lobby opens for the opening round at Barcelona. Drivers will be locked in to their rides upon first start. Be aware any car changes between qualifying and the race will disqualify your posted qualifying time. And unapproved car changes after your first start will be penalized under my car change policy.

 

[Cold Warrior]

Under 24 hours until the lobby opens. And someone still doesn't what car they want to run. Man hate to be that guy.

I just wanted to confirm that qualifying is at 8pm EST/7pm CST, I will be there probably only 5-10 minutes before
Q starts. Thats what the info on page 13 says, on the first page it says 7:45 EST. Might want to make it easier to find this info unless I am missing something.

Yes I know you like to be fashionably last minute. Better hope we don't get more popular.

I suppose if we start getting full fields I could always log in when lobby opens then come back for qualifying.

I remember when Rinsky's League got to that point. He had to start a reservation system. I wish we were that popular. Maybe some day.

Penalty of Godlike Knowledge applied to TheColdWarriors

Note: This is intended to full rain out of various intensities. All 9 weather slots have some kind of rain in them. Be that as it may. The GT7 weather systems still have a bit of randomness. And a weather system can miss the race track. Because of having prior knowledge of weather patterns can be used to gain an advantage. I created the Penalty of Godlike Knowledge. For the host and any who create their own weather patterns for awarded track picks.

I removed Fuji from the official schedule this season. Next week is 2nd annual running of the 2 Hours of Daytona.

Well today was a great day for me. We just learned our cat may have lung cancer.

Sorry to hear that. It's always tough having ill pets, they are part of the family.

Round 2 in 3 days at Dragon Trail Gardens Reverse. Don't forget your umbrellas.

 

[fastone371]

2024 is the season of rarely raced tracks so far.

Sorry to hear that. It's always tough having ill pets, they are part of the family.

We took her in for dental surgery yesterday. She hasn't been acting right over a week before the appointment. So we told them how she was when checking in. Along with the x-rays they needed for the surgery. They added on extra shot to check her lungs.

The came back out to the waiting room. And told us they will be squeezing us in the schedule. And that the doctor needed to talk with us. We didn't need room appointment for the surgery. We going to drop her off and then come back to pick her up when the surgery was done. So we knew this turn of events wasn't good news.

After waiting for a bit. They took us back to one of the standard patient rooms. We're our cat was waiting. On the wall was the x-ray already setup. After spending some time identifying what was what. We noticed her lungs were fuzzy. The person I was with knows more about medical stuff than I. Knew that isn't normal or good.

Eventually the doctor came. We began discussing about the cats systems. Then the doctor pointed out the lungs in the x-ray. And told us cancer cells from bump the cat has developed on her chest. We knew about the bump. We had it checked in the summer. We were told it wasn't cancerous. Apparently continued to and grow developed a cancerous part that we didnt notice.

They canceled the surgery for now. And gave her a steroid shot to see if it would improve anything. And comeback in 2 weeks but, their tone didn't give much confidence that it would do anything. So that's where things stand at the moment.

2024 is the season of rarely raced tracks so far.

I picked out a lot of either new or rarely used tracks for the season. Even if they were a questionable idea. Like the compact Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile. There were a lot more that didn't make the cut.

It's tough to race on the less than popular tracks when you don't have much time to practice between races.

You know these replies have the negative I got reread my writing. And upon doing so I get to question how I was allowed to pass English class.

That works well for me as I was questionable for tonight due to injury.

I didn't intend for my own misfortune to be a convenience but, I could use the undeserved credit right now. So your welcome my loyal unpaid volunteer. Hope it your injury doesn't make you unable to attend the 2 Hours of Daytona next week. Big points payout for that one.

Go ahead, give yourself a big pat on the back, you deserve it!! I hope my injury doesn't last until next week either, not sure how I would get anything done if it did.
I was just reviewing the point payouts, if you miss a race or have 2 bad races it will be all but impossible to catch back up, why such a huge points gap between spots?
