This is a Tuesday session of the Wednesday Lemons to Le Mans series. This will follow the same rules and the same schedule. I will be the steward for this session, but it is still Huyler's series.
If you are interested, please let me know. Send me a friend request (a_garris) and send me a PM on the forum or an email to my vol.jbolaz Gmail account with your car details.

Objective
Purchase a cheap car that has 385 performance points or less and show up to the first race. After each race, points are awarded based on placement and totaled at the end of the series to determine the winner. Extra credits are awarded to spend on your car as well. The loser gets the most credits to improve their car while the winner gets the least. The goal is to rotate out leaders by giving underdogs a little more to spend on their cars. Run whacha brung and hope for the best finish each week. Pit strategy and accident avoidance will play a key role.
Initial Vehicle Selection
Tires and Other Freebees
Tires will be free (not included in budget) and compound restriction will increase with each race starting with Comfort tires and ending with Racing tires. Paint, wheels, oil changes, engine rebuilds, and chassis rebuilds will also be free as there is no way to police that sort of thing. Aero kits are not free.
Race format
Time: Tuesday. Room opens for warm-up by 9:30 p.m. EDT (GMT -4). Race starts at 10:00 p.m..
Length: Each race will be roughly 1 hour in length
Damage: Set to full -- cars involved in accidents will have to pit for repairs. Accident avoidance is critically more important than speed.
Penalties: Off -- races will be reviewed and points/credits will be deducted as necessary. In short, follow GTP OLR rules.
Starting Grid: TBD
Entering and Exiting the Pits: Do not cross the white line. Yield to faster cars on the track in the first turn by staying on the same side of the track as the pit until you reach racing speeds.
