If you are able to do so, please confirm your attendance or lack thereof for the first week of Season 2. I hope to see most of you tomorrow night.

 

[Nick Cannella]

I plan to race, yes

 

[Herimopp89]

Im planning on it

 

[micantony]

I plan to be there. Still sponsored by Santa Cruz Skateboards

 

[Nick Cannella]

Death Wish Coffee Racing Team will be there

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'd like to test out using two times of day on race night to better simulate a race day. Is anyone around tonight for just a few minutes to try this out? I'll set up a quick one lap race with reverse grid set up and then change the time of day before going to the second race. We'll see if it resets everything or if the reverse grid will still know what to do. Either way it's possible but this would make it a little easier then setting the grid every single time.

While I will still like to be part of the series, I will unfortunately be unable to participate in tomorrow's race due to my schedule for the week. I am hoping to jump in starting next week.

 

[DesertPenguin]

@Nick Cannella I just opened a room for a quick test if you can get on soon.

Edit: Micantony showed up and we made it work so going forward I will be adding a second time of day for each race. A morning/early afternoon race and an afternoon/early evening race.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

It's a maybe for me. If I feel I have enough energy I will be there.

 

[jayr1399]

[fastone371]

Just finishing up work here, I will try to get in for 2nd race.

 

[DesertPenguin]

We are ready to go but I don't see you online yet

 

[DesertPenguin]

Sorry we missed you tonight fastone but we hope to see you next week. There was a pretty good turn out for Week 1 and the track was certainly one to be mastered. Good racing all around and plenty of memories made. Scores are up. Time to start packing for a two week trip to Japan

[fastone371]

Just as I was getting ready to leave the shop for the night I had an unexpected visitor stop by. I suppose I could have gave him the same line I use at the holidays when we have company, "we are going to go to bed now so our guests can leave"

 

[Herimopp89]

The racing last night was great i enjoyed it even though at the end on worn tires i couldn't push it near as hard as i wanted to. All in all it was a night full of great racing, not looking forward to Fuji at all.

 

[micantony]

FUJI is Toyota's home track who is sponsoring the series, you might want to keep those feelings to yourself...

Edit: Regarding the poll, are you wanting to run the nordschleife or the full N24?
My vote is for whichever one allows us to run as many laps as possible and spend the most time there.
