Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

[Cu3e]

Are we racing tonight?

 

[John Wells]

Hopefully should be fun

 

[Cu3e]

Usual start time in 20min, right? If something is settip, please send me msg.

 

[John Wells]

Sorry no one came on last night.

 

[Cu3e]

Maybe next week? @daddyo845 already used to the wheel?

 

[daddyo845]

Aw man I forgot to tell you guys I was going to be away for a few days. I'm verry sorry

@Cu3e I am not used to the wheel but I'm gonna keep trying 👍

 

[Litchi]

I am not used to the wheel but I'm gonna keep trying 👍

Same, I practice every days. 👍

 

[daddyo845]

I'm really sorry guys. I've been having guests staying at my home for the past week so I won't be able to host shuffle. I'm really sorry. I can most likely host next week though

 

[John Wells]

No worries daddy:tup:

 

[Handlebar]

What day/times are you running, @daddyo845 ?

I have a few weeks after I get back from travels before I go back to school.

 

[daddyo845]

So far we have been running only on Thursday at 3pm EDT

 

[Handlebar]

Cool - I can likely make it next week.

 

[daddyo845]

Amar at one point was doing shuffle on Saturday I think. At one point I think he said he wanted to do it again but I don't think he had the time.

 

[Cu3e]

@daddyo845 Are we shuffling today?

 

[daddyo845]

Yes I'll put something together.

 

[Handlebar]

Yes I'll put something together.

Let me know what time, I'll make a point to be awake (again) then.

 

[daddyo845]

Let me know what time, I'll make a point to be awake (again) then.

3 pm EDT

do you have the first three sets of cars? I planned on using those.

Will anyone else be joining?

I have them - they're in my Stockyard, but I have them. Never liked the luxury ones. I'll move 'em over in a bit. Trying to arrange a test drive in a new (to me) car candidate - so if that comes in this afternoon, I'll post if I'm busy.

I'll reiterate what I spoke about on car choices w/watermelon - there is a huge variance from top to bottom. I really suggest going with 'doubles' - Divide your finishing place by two and round up, so first and second place take the first car, third and fourth place take the second car, etc. With this, I believe we are less likely to get see-saw results from race-to-race (my one pet peeve from the list).

Other thank @KingKlingeling and a couple of other guys, it was HARD for most drivers to make up places if you were driving one of the crappy cars from the rear of the grid, and equally true if you were in the Miata, out front on most tracks, it was much harder to lose places. If you were middle pack, it was easier to stay at least middle pack, and stay mostly close to the action, for me at least. Compressing the list as above drops some of those fastest cars out, but still results in 'good' cars for the bottom of the pack in that race.

 

[John Wells]

I can make it:tup:

Then I will have to get ready for British Superbikes, at Oulton Park

 

[Handlebar]

Good timing - my test drive is tomorrow. 👍

 

[daddyo845]

I see what you mean. That's a good point and we could try that if you would like to but the problem is is that not too many people are participating in shuffle these days and if we were to do that then the grid wouldn't be very varied.

 

[Handlebar]

The flip side to that is it lowers the bar to participation (Get these 14 cars - all of them - then come back....)

vs.

Get these 3-4 cars for today....

 

[daddyo845]

Also a good point

 

[daddyo845]

Room is open
Race 1 is with the autozam
Race 2 is with the low power
Race 3 and 4 with luxury
And the last 4 are with the vintage list
1472-4711-0167-3383-5698

 

[Handlebar]

Heading in - I don't much care for the luxury list.

 

[Chiochan]

Good times, Good times.

 

[Handlebar]

Thanks all - that was fun. Guess the Marcos got buffed in a patch somewhere!

 

[daddyo845]

That was great fun today! It was great to see handlebar chiochan again! I was disappointed that we couldn't continue our battle at nurburgring going until the end @amarynceos, but mistakes are made by all of us and we still had a good duel going there for awhile.

Another thing, I won't be able to host shuffle next Thursday because I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday and we won't be back in time for me to host
I apologize in advance

 

[Cu3e]

Seems to me there are not much photos in this club. Here are some random snaps from me. It was very fun racing the other day 👍

 

[Handlebar]

Nice pics from the day I will remember as "Revenge of Marcos."
