Hey, it looks like I found a track I am actually better at other than Daytona. I guess I have driven the Nurb more than you guys. My detuned Camaro Z28 wasn't even near as fast as your guys, you guys were saying you were hitting 150-160mph and I was only maxing at 145mph. ThisGuy in his Lancia pulled in front of me a few times only to take himself. So we should definitle put that track on schedule so I can get some points :)

It was tough keeping up with you with a car like the Stratos. I really had a tough time finding a good balanced tune with it but i'll dedicate more time with it on the green hell. Skeletor is tough as ever and my buddy Steakman is a huge fan of the track. I know i can get a decent tune down if i keep working at it and i'll definitely share it with Ncr. I do think this track should be added, these cars are slow enough to learn this track properly and tune on it. I wont mind if it isnt added, its not the easiest track but its very fun when you finally get it down.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with that.
 
I can handle that.
Gonna put up an official poll when I get back from the college, and let that decide.
 
I actually didin't mind Nurb at this pp. Doing it at dusk was pretty neat too. Usually when I race Nurb online, after the 3rd or 4th 'stupid thing' that happens to me, I either pull over, or rage quit before completing a lap. Although, being in 2nd place, 15 seconds behind 1st, 15 seconds ahead of 3rd, did get kinda lonely. All in all, I wouldn't mind if it gets put on the schedule.
 
Seems like i've worked my magic on my little York Green Stratos. Got an 8 minute lap tike on the Nurb with lots of room for improvement. Front end needs work, its still a little unnerving above 100mph. Overall the car resonds well, less body roll than usual, tires wore down very little in a single lap. Gotta say im really enjoying this little car and its horn is the funniest thing i've heard in a long time.
 
Lol. "Substitute for another track" Translation: Replace Monaco.

Buy the way, I'm happy with the SS now that we've adjusted the limits. I'll be sticking with it, if you wanna write it in there.
 
Good one Mudd.

Maybe consider replacing "Thunder Hill" with my "Jump Track"... That would be good times.
 
We cant get rid of Monaco its home to the GP and its just amazing with so much history with motorsports. I will die if we cant race it.

You will be missed.:D
 
Funny guys hehe. A poll is ok but i agree with getting rid of a fictional track i enjoy the real courses more anyway.
 
Alright guys, posted up the thread for the one make Honda S800 RSC Race Car race we were discussing last night. It's fairly barebones at this point, but here it is
 
You still planning on a race tonight? I'm up for it, but it'll be about 8:30 before I'm on.
 
Uploading the Fuji race from tonight. I will post a link when it finishes.





You can maybe tell from the picture there that I am on a tiny tv and need to set it awful small for it to all get recorded. I am going to work on setting the aspect ratio for future videos to be a full screen though.

No problems, it's just amusing how different alot of our tastes in tracks are. Road Indy one of my absolute favorites. Lol
 
I think Indy should stay. I'm on one fence on Sukbutt circuit, but should be kinda fun with these small cars & low pp.

I'll say it again. substitue a "make believe" track for the "Ring of Hell".

Kinda funny, we took away all of Mudd's favorite tracks in the Trans Am series for ones he hates, might as well do it here too!
 
Everyone that I race regularly has been wondering why I've been hanging in the back of the pack lately...it's a conspiracy.:odd:
 
Man..I like my make believe course!
But, you're prolly right dang it..


My only real concession and abuse of my directors privileges will be to make this an early night/late evening race if it happens.
 
It doesn't have to be your pretend course, just A pretend course that gets substitued. Grand Valley & Trial Mt. are the other two. Although I really like those two tracks, I'd rather race a real track. And since the series is base on real life sports car series. Either way, you're in charge, and what ever is decided upon, I (and I'm sure most people) will be totally fine with it. Or just keep puting up inconclusive poles to vote on!
