After talking to the rest of the drivers on the drivers list, the 14 who have qualified will be it. So therefore qualifying is all but official. Congrats to Ron Meier on his pole and congrats to the rest of you on your runs!

Race Post:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks everything is set for this weeks race. This weeks race will consist of two heat races with each race being 28 Laps. Each race requires a mandatory pit stop which must be done in the required pit window between lap 10 and lap 20.

Just a reminder on how things will work. We will have the room open probably 30 minutes before 9ET that way we can get things set up and make sure everything is operating. We will probably get the race started closer to 9:30ET just depends when everyone gets into the room. Be sure to follow the instructions of the stewards during the entire process to result in the quickest, problem free start.

The qualifying results above represent the starting order of the FIRST HEAT race. The starting order of the second heat race is based off reverse finishing order of the first heat race. Drivers who quit or park there car during the first heat race will lose there right to the reverse order start and will start in the back. Sand bagging in this manner is frowned upon. If the race coordinator feels that a driver parked there car in any manner during heat race 1, then they can rule that a driver must start in the back for race two. Lag outs are subject to the race coordinator ruling on whether the driver can start the near the front of heat race 2.

When we are doing the pace laps remember that it is staggered rolling start so you are to keep a car length inbetween you and the next driver. Here is an image describing how to this:

Pace speed will be 50 mph and is up to pole sitter to keep this speed. When the leader hits the start finish line that is when everyone can go full speed. THERE IS NO PASSING before the start finish line.

Good luck! 👍
 
I be off work at 9 PM so I be on around 9:10-9:15 for the race.
 
Looking forward to tonight's races! Definitely going to be intense though as once you get into the races here, everyone is so close!

:( hope you make it bud! :Fingerscrossed:

Also you could always just miss the first heat race and show up for the second. Missing two races could really hurt in the points but only missing one of the heats won't be so bad.
 
Just a reminder either me or DragonGT83 will open the race room around 8:45 to 9 pm est. The race will start at 9:30pm est. So everyone be ready for some fun racing and clean racing. Please everyone remember your racecraft as this track is definetly a tough track to pass at.
 
This should be good, just warmed up the oil a few minutes ago.

I almost feel sorry for the winner of the first race, starting in the back is going to be a **** for the second race.
 
No Wander, we all know you did your best and we still love you despite that :P

Dont be so darn gay 2NR. I was loafing and doing easy .5s,before, .31x was my best. The pressure wuz too much, I tell u! The intensity of King's stare put me in the dirt; he willed me off the track! Is that even legal?!

We've gotten many complaints about that... we'll investigate ;)

No doubt. As we were talking about earlier, even if your like 3 tenths faster then the guy in front of you, it's still really hard to pass. So as close as the field is, everyone is going to be locked up together.

I predict someone starting in the top 5 will probably win heat 1 given the difficulty of passing but heat 2 will be anyones to win. I can see someone finishing between 8th-10th in heat 1 taking the win in heat 2.

What is important for everyone to remember is keep your patience. 28 laps of being stuck in traffic can be really frustrating and can be easy to loose your cool and pack it down into the corner. Just take what's given to you and keep the racing at an A+ level :)
 
DragonGT83 will be hosting room tonight so if you dont have him on your friends list you can add him if not you can wait till i join his room and join me. I will post on here when room is up, or dragon will post room number when it is up.
 
Well im glad those races are over at Tsukuba. But i guess what did you expect for a tight track with everyone being so close in lap times. It was fun though, cant wait for next week when we take the RX-7 TC to Indy Road Course. Just so yall know we did lower the horsepower for the car to 404hp at indy road. We did this so we are not all redlining half way down the straight away lol.

Alot of luck lol, still have one incident that needs reviewed also. And of course there is gonna be some tracks I'm not gonna like, we'll see.
So do we pm a steward about an incident that we think somebody should be penalized for?
