I've tested Darlington, and i'm having trouble making a quick setup. My fastest lap is a 44.878.

After some quick laps, finally managed a 43.2. I can share you my tune if you want

Thanks! Pm me if you want.

 

[fastfox400]

I sure hoe thats a qaulifying setup. I'm not gonna lay all the marbles on the table till race day, but I can tell you with times like those tire life is not your friend.

 

[nate11x]

I was in the room with them fox when litchi ran that time. I felt that me and him were pretty even during a 11 lap stint. We'll see on saturday who is best prepared.

No prob, but 5.50am here. I need to sleep a bit

I think we at JRM have some work to do.

 

[fastfox400]

I think you guys will be fine Rflx. You guys always are. Well now I know I'm saying nothing. You guys just woke up a angry dog..

A 43.3 was the highest I got when testing, although a simple small ride height adjustment would gain me 1 or 2 tenths a lap and improve turn in, but would make the tyres run out 2 laps sooner. Any faster than how I have it set up would burn the tyres too quickly. I'm considering slowing it down a bit more to get to the tyre wear that would be best.

I have plenty of time to test in the week so I'll try a few things. My team have already been sent what would have been the final setup. Your 43.2 makes me want to adjust it, as I was happy with a certain pit strategy. The closest I'd seen someone get to my times previously was in the practice after last week's race, where a JRM driver got within 3/4 of a second of my times on that day.

Time to do the opposite of the ride height adjustment I mentioned...

 

[fastfox400]

Curious to what you are seeing tire life Joe. I've got our setup consistent. I'm just not fast with it. You 45.2's at best.

 

[Knelly]

Hope you guys are not sandbagging your times here!

 

[fastfox400]

Hope you guys are not sandbagging your times here!

I swear. Ask Nater He has seen me run more than enough laps with my best time being a 45.21x

 

[cgr-10]

Please don't tell me I have to run for us this weekend Joe, 800 miles in a weekend is more than enough already

 

[DrifterJoe]

I don't think either of us will be running the Nationwide race, unless one or two of our drivers can't make it. James and Racefan are currently definitely able to make it, though I've not heard from JT yet. If 1 driver can't make it, I'll fill the spot. (Makes sense since I did the testing anyway)

I'm going to be doing a lot of racing this weekend:

With no cautions, the IndyCar race will be between 55 minutes and an hour (there will be cautions, so probably about 1 1/4 hours). I don't really know how long the sprint cup race will be (probably around 2 1/2 to 3 hours), and the Nationwide race will be between 1 1/2 hours and 1 3/4 hours. I've not done any testing for IROC and Trucks yet so I don't know how long they'd take, but that's a lot of racing.

I already have setups for all the series, so I just have to put in a few laps to get my eye in.

EDIT: This weekend I'm racing 995 miles, or 1195 if I'm needed for Nationwide.

 

[Left Turn]

If people are sandbagging, I'm screwed.

 

[fastfox400]

If people are sandbagging, I'm screwed.

I know you tested with Litchi and Nater the other night. I'll be somewhat nice, and all I'm saying is that I'm faster than Nater.

 

[Müle]

Yeah, lets not sandbag please. If you don't want to give out lap times, you don't have to, but deceiving everyone else is just poor sportsmanship.

 

[JakobNascar88]

i will open a room at 6pm

 

[fastfox400]

I apologize guys. I was just in a trolling mood the other night.

 

[Knelly]

How many laps in a stint are we looking at?

 

[nate11x]

I didn't test with left turn there fox. It was only me, jacob and litchi.

 

[Left Turn]

i'm testing tonight.

 

[Cowboys965]

Yeah, lets not sandbag please. If you don't want to give out lap times, you don't have to, but deceiving everyone else is just poor sportsmanship.

Oh that's what it is, I was going to ask.

I was in the 44s or lower, slugging' it!

 

[nate11x]

SShhh Cowboys

 

[fastfox400]

Im not talking now.

 

[kenkwilinski]

Hey Chqr, I was watching the Daytona 100 on RFLX TV just now. And had a blast watching Dowhat just about walk away with pole. But I noticed you have Dowhat on pole with 50.568.......Well what I just saw was Dowhat hit a best of 50.536 and then Trynor came out of right field and plowed a 50.486! Wow! So you need to change that in your points sheets and credit the right driver (unfortunately) 👍
