LCC Rocket Spot Race Series (stock) - March 23rd, 10pm GMTOpen

[Slalom]

They are run in full auto mode, so they generally shift up to third for most of the drivers, but it is really only the instructors that ever go fast enough that it actually needed to go to third. Which was somewhere around 85ish on the f430 and I'm not sure exactly on the gallardo, but around there. The pictures don't show but half of the weekend was pretty wet. The awd gallardo with 560hp could still get pretty crazy even with traction control on once the tires started to go.

For anyone that hasn't ever autocrossed, I would recommend it. Even in regular cars it is a lot of fun. It's the cheapest form of competitive Motorsport you can do, generally around $40 for an event. I have an older civic with some suspension work and it is a blast, anything can be fun.

Okay so this picture isn't actually from this weekend, but it's the same place and cars just from last year, but it's one of my favorites. They are really early days, but what a sunrise to start the day.

So are we running at silverstone this weekend? I'm excited to get to do a race again!!

I think we're still racing Tsukuba MotoGP, since BH Indy had to be postponed due to PD's servers screwing the first race up.

I believe this is the winning answer. 👍

Hey guys,

Sorry, life's still mass busy at the moment! - We're at Tsukuba this weekend, I'll change that thread title now . Laps will be 45 for this race.

 

[MatheusBond]

There's a possibility that I may not be able to come to Tsukuba (again), due to my lil' bro's birthday party being at 4 PM (and the race at 7).

 

[hobbsy]

I fully intend on being on track tonight, although i've not turned a single lap of practise since the last time we visited!!!

fingers crossed the network holds out for the duration.

See you later

 

[MC-Chase]

No problem Math! Catch you next week 👍.

I've done 3 laps of testing @hobbsy so I don't think I'm going to be at much better off than you either .

 

[Slalom]

For some of us U.S folks don't forget the daylight savings time change.

Are you telling me they only have daylight savings time in America, what about Canada? Ill see you guys at 6 tonight.

 

[MatheusBond]

We have them in Brazil too. But it ended on Feb 15. I raced at 8 PM before then.

Canadia changes with us, mainly just because they wanna be cool like Murica.

 

[Brutaka]

[BrandonW77]

wait so is the race in 2 hours or in 3?

Just under 3 I believe.

 

[Brutaka]

Just under 3 I believe.

Ok thanks

 

[MC-Chase]

I guess working on GMT Brandon would be right! It's about twenty to eight here, so the race should be starting in two hours twenty minutes.

 

[hobbsy]

I've had many a race ruined by chaffing.

 

[hobbsy]

Removing my Pants would be a step too far

 

[BrandonW77]

[hobbsy]

[BrandonW77]

Ahhh........that would be one step too far.

I'm about to start my ritual, grab a drink and sit down here...

 

[hobbsy]

Whats with all the "conspiracy theory" tin foil looking base, or is that just easy wipe!?

 

[BrandonW77]

Lol. We had some shiny label paper at work left over from a job so I used it to cover the wood.
