OGR VINTAGE IROC Series

Good stuff DJ. Looks like a lot of good action up front. I spent most of the time being lonely back in 6th-7th place. Battled with able for a few laps, either he left or got disco'd. Definitely not one of my better tracks.

I think able lost connection. He mentioned lag characteristics during the pace lap I believe.

Note to all. If you lag out of race 1, please reconnect and rejoin lobby. Refrain from actively texting on screen until race 1 is over. But again, please rejoin for race 2.

BK mentioned during the race that able lost power at his house.

Stewards Report
Race 1
Drivers BermudaKid and xR0ADRASHx

Stewards understand it is a race upset to have a driver go off in the manner as BermudaKid.

Stewards conclude that BermudaKid did not run off into the sand as a result of a malicious and/or intentional act.

No points deduction.

Stewards would like league members to review best practices and league guidelines.

Stewards would like league members to review the guidelines on being overtaken by faster traffic.

Thank you stewards. This matter is officially closed.

It makes running the series a hell of a lot easier when you have people willing to help out with stuff. Thanks again to everyone involved!!

What I like most is the Commodore 64 font points sheets.

With permission from dj, here are pictures from heat 2. And yes i realize i am not as good at this as dj.

Heat 2 at Monza

JT #28 takes the poll after winning the 1st heat race. Good job JT!

Lap 1
Brett #40 coming in hard and heavy to turn 1 from the back of the pack. Ends up touching BK and spinning around.

BK #31 giving a love bump to myself #17. Saved the rear and was able to hold on.

DJ #26 not braking in time for the turn and finds the sand. Brett #40 makes the pass.

Envy #46 getting pulled in hard by the draft on the final turn. Unable to hold on he goes off into the sand.

Lap 2
RoadRash #63 leading lap 2 with the pack chasing.

Envy #46 with the early pitstop.

BK #31 finds the sand. Myself #17 and skeletor #6 make the pass. BK ends up going down 18 seconds from the leader. He puts on one heck of a charge for the remainder of the race.

Lap 4
Skeletor #6 with wheel spin out of the first chicane. Nice save!

Lap 5
Tight racing taking place at the front.

Lap 6
The wonderful pit bug. JT enters first with RR and Mike following behind.

Mike leapfrogs both RR and JT.

Lap 8
Myself #17 exiting pit lane and taking the lead from Mike #33

Skeletor #6 and BK #31 with some hard fought racing.

Lap 9
Mike grabbing the lead.

Random picture

Lap 10
JT #28 finds the sand and watches his hopes of winning heat 2 fade away.

Randomness

Lap 14
Leaders hitting lapped traffic with just one more lap to go!

Final Lap
Bit of a nervous moment

DJ taking the outside line and letting the leaders pass on the inside. Nice job DJ!

BK made up the 18 second gap to create a 4 car battle.

Entering the final turn.

At the line

Great race guys!

 

[AllinWitJT]

Nice pics red. Man RR. We entered the pits all pretty and ****. Damn we got jacked.

Mike your the man for your thoughtfulness. But go for the win when the game screws up. I'm pretending I fired my pit crew after a horrible showing.

 

[xR0ADRASHx]

Nice work Red. That was an exciting race!! Especially the last few laps

 

[brettcee]

Nice pics from both DJ & red, that might work good seeing as we're running 2 heats, takes some of the pressure off from 1 guy doing both races. All the cars look good. Haven't watched the replays yet, didn't realize how close the second race was.

 

[E46Envy]

Nice pics DJ and Red!

Mr. President..... For SS Motegi we're entering and exciting the pits on the back stretch? Where the dotted yellow lines are?

Yes that is correct. Entering and exiting the pits on the front stretch is forbidden and drivers doing so will be penalized.

Also; this is more of a handling track. It is possible to run two wide in the corners, so long as the driver on the bottom can keep his car from traveling up the track and into the outside driver. Take that into consideration in setting your cars up this week.

Nice work Red! I get could used to this...

Motegi guideline for entering pit lane and exiting. The reasoning for this decision is to help reduce the risk of an accident taking place during the race. I highly recommend practicing pitting and exiting a few times before the race as it can be a little tricky.

Pitting
When you plan on pitting, work on taking the inside line off of turn 2. This will insure you have a clean line into the pits without any cars driving below you and blocking your pit attempt.

There are 2 rows of yellow dotted lines on the back stretch. Enter the bottom apron in between these 2 dotted lines.

Stay on the apron and below the solid white line all the way around turns 3 & 4.

Exiting Pit Lane
Exiting the pits is the same as entering but in reverse order. Stay on the apron and below the solid white line around turns 1 & 2.

Enter at the dotted yellow line on the back stretch. Please remember to keep an eye out for traffic as you work your way back into the racing line.

Nice job Red ! I practiced that earlier today and I can see how entering on front stretch would cause accidents.

Thanks Envy, there are multiple reasons for this strategy. But the main reason is to limit potential accidents.

Damn it! I've been practicing the "close your eyes and go technique".

Excellent work Red.

 

[AllinWitJT]

The yellow exit line to move back onto track after a pit is further down on the straight, not off the end of turn 2. So stay low on the apron, stay on the apron on the straight, then look for the yellow line and move out accordingly.

Isn't that what red's last photo shows?

It helps me by paying attention to the red signage on the outside wall. But yeah, the yellow line is nearly half way down the back stretch.

 

[mike46and2]

Will there be cautions?
