Racers,
This will be the schedule for Wednesday nights pre season events:
9:00pm EST-lounge opens
9:30pm -qualify
9:45pm -10+1 laps Autumn Ring
10 min break-10+1 laps Deep Forest Raceway(reverse grid order)
After race dabble at Monza

New members please be sure to show up on time as we will give you guys the run down on how we qualify, enter track for the grid order and the rules for the pace lap.

Here's a quick run down:
1. my lounge opens 9:00pm EST
2. 9:30pm EST-I open public lobby to ensure better race quality and connection
3. you will be called to enter track and begin qualify (usually half the field at a time)
4. run your warm up and hot laps (2 to 3) track dependant
5. re enter pits and hold there
6. after all racers have qualified you will be asked to text your time
7. exit track
8. reset track
9. Envy will give the qualifying order
10. enter track and line up in order behind pole sitter
11. start race
12. 1 pace lap at 60mph with 3 car length spacing

I know it sounds a little confusing but we have it down to a science and runs very smoothly. Unfortunately this is what we have to do for correct starting order. Also, we will be staying in my lounge the whole time so people can come and go. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. See everyone on race night!!

There you have it

-Qualifying starts 9:35pm I will call 3 or 4 at a time to qualify

Dumb question but how is it better?

Because 2.07 running max wing gave you great df in the corners but for some weird reason it didn't really slow you down on the straights . It made it to we're max wing was always faster ( excluding Daytona)

Yep. Thus the mph change.

see everyone tonight!

Also, one more thing; there is a mandatory pit stop required in both races. Pits will be closed until after the start of lap 2. I know, I know we won't need tires but I want to run the same rules tonight as we will in the regular series. Thanks for the understanding
 
Good racing tonight everyone. Congratulations to BK and Skeletor for winning the two events. And congratulations to everyone for being in the lounge on time! Now thats a first! Next week we go back to our normal grid order for the second race, that was a little too much mayhem. See you guys on the track.
 
Good showing last night. Reverse grid order was a bit of a mess . For longer races it would probably be fun. But with the limited laps it turns into madness. Especially on the first lap. Envy caught the blunt of it with Mike, Brett and myself receiving major damage as well. Still fun though for a preseason showing.
 
That was a lot of fun. The reverse grid order and the ensuing mayhem was good times. I wish I would have saved the replay. Looks like really cool stuff happened behind me. Although I didn't make it through the 1st lap unscathed either.

A lot of really good drivers here. I'm going to have a hard time keeping up with half of you. I have reached the limitations of using a controller.

That was a fun race. This group for the most part has been racing together for quite a while and in three different series. The competition level has really grown and there are no easy wins. Most of us are using wheels and pedals. Glad to have you aboard.
 
The first race was a blast for me. I got to mix it up with Skeletor and Roadrash. The second race sucked thanks to the first lap. I thought that would have been it but almost every attempt at a race at Monza ended up with someone using my car as the "braking cushion" at turn one. I'll be repainting my car this weekend since it appears someone snuck a bulls eye sticker on the back end of my car.
 
Good race and good practise last night, I think we still got a ways to go to get the best out of this car, I'll be on late tonight for some more laps at monza.
