No chuyler we didn't pit, your car was faster than mine and sleights, which we were about even. Dabney did all he could to catch, but you drafting galikazoid is what kept you from our wrath. But yeah dabney, we were gaining on him big time one galikazoid slipped out.
As for autumn ring, I know what the leaders will be running, and how many pit stops people will make. Going to be a blast.

you only hope they go that slow
it will be more like 1'31s laps(WELL FOR ME ANYWAY)
I said good shape...not winning shape
With draft...I may agree, but with the complexity of drafting through linking corners....I think mid 1'30s will take the leaders up the road to victory.
I can run that fast, but like last week, I'll have to pit an extra time. I ran low 2'05s and Fuji for 8 laps before fading. I think here the 1'30s will last for 5-6.

5-6 laps per pit. So with my two pit strategy, I can run 15-18 laps or nearly half the race as quick as I want w/o the worry of wear. I know I'll have to pit, so I'm resolve to punish my tires 90 seconds at a time. (These are live racing times with some in a FR/MR to follow) If I'm alone, add 1 second

Later this evening
In preparation for his upcoming race, CanadianBacon heads off to the top secret IKEA workshop, just off route 7 past Wendy's on the right, where, equipped with only his personalized Allen wrench set and 2 gallons of maple syrup, he sets to work building up his machine.
Cue the music
Across town at IKEA headquarters, RickFlair1 reviews the course route and driver list. He was cautiously optimistic and glancing out the window with a wry smirk, he hatched a plan.
Its motivation the team needs...yes, but where to find it?
He paced between his Poang chair and Billy bookcase, each piece wonderfully executed with style at minimum cost and nothing came to mind. He had ideas, yet none of them good. He paused for a moment and decided on a drink. In the darkness that was 2:00AM, a stumbling RickFlair1 mistook the sofa table for empty space.
Seconds later, the TV was on. While dislodging the remote from beneath him, Rick turned to notice the common sights and sounds of ESPN, his last channel watched. Without an idea still he gathered himself and headed for the elusive kitchen in search of drink.
"Coming up next on Sports Center, why are the Colts willing to hire on a man with baggage fit for a lunar expedition?"
In an instance, RickFlair1 stopped and scrambled for a pen. Leaning over the edge of the bar, he jotted down 5 letters.
W.W.J.T.D.
What Would Jim Tressel Do?
The answer was simple....devious recruitment. Time however was not on his side, so he hatched a previously inconceivable thought and one hour later had this,

I assure you it will. Someone will break 1'30 hotlapping.
Oh, and could folks please move off the track when they are done qualifying. We had 3-4 people driving around the track in reverse the last 5-10 minutes of qualifying last night while a few of us were still going for pole. There were several collisions which were really 🤬 people off.

Yes, as Diabolic mentioned. Please stay off the track if you are not practicing and/or qualifying. Also if you are qualifying and you make a mistake and you know you've got a bogus lap. Let the driver chasing you by so you don't ruin his lap too.
Furthermore, lap traffic will be an issue. This isn't a track where you can easily pass someone. Move off the driving line and lift off the gas if you see lead cars approaching you. NEVER try to pass back a lead car unless he/she makes a huge mistake. If you are getting lapped, it means you are slower. If you think you can draft to improve your lap times you may do so as long as you do not interfere with their race.
DO NOT clip the corners through the switchbacks. There will be massive penalties for drivers that feel the need to put 4 wheels in the dirt over and over again. If you do it by accident, just lift off the throttle for a second so the replay makes it clear that you weren't trying to gain time by using the dirt.

Also, there was some discussion in the tuesday thread about what track we are running next week. To clear things up for next Wednesday, the race will be on the exact track specified "Nürburgring Nordschleife". That's not the 24hr track, and it will be daylight. I'd rather see some close racing rather than a crash fest. We've got weather and night racing later in the series.

I only have 1K to spend. I have added the racing filter and for giggles with the FTO...a spoiler! This could be epic.
I'm still okay predicting Crash Fest Nurb edition. Drivers will want to keep themselves within drafting distance, so I forsee much risk taking sectors 3 and 4. I will be one of them!

Last sector will be the money maker, if you can take it balls out and not end up in the sand trap you have a shot. That's where the ff cars will have trouble.
