Adding the following people to the list to remind them of the great opportunity for practice for Friday. And learning the track for Saturday night.

@aceboy127 @Rob Pardun @damonc84@Antares26

Would it be ok if we practiced the out lap as well as cautions. In the post it say slow down to 80 mph and pitting and stuff. You know a mock race of all the unknowns that may occur.
 
Parade lap, too. Fuel used, not running into each other. Not going off track during parade - and What happens then?
 
Those are excellent ideas, however a parade lap will help us with cautions and such. So YES to a parade lap. Cautions are only for 3 or more car pile ups. I don’t see that happening. I would rather not do cautions as I believe seeing one on Friday will be unlikely.

As for qualifying. It will be open track till 9:15 Est. We will start at that point no matter what for a pace lap.
 
Is this a Snail Endurance race or IRS? I mean I get the practice and all for Friday but c’mon guys. This is our SNAIL Endurance Race. With all of these exceptions and spoilers it doesn’t even feel like it. Even weeks were supposed to mimic ARL not IRS.

@Bubdub804 @GTP_Guido i am pulling the pace lap out, the start is going to be a false check start. After multiple conversations about the pace lap I feel it’s in the best interest for all involved to not waste 10 +minutes of a 90 minute race. I’m sorry for the indecisiveness but this is final decision.

My original thought behind the pace lap was to de how much fuel we burn! BUT, those that are not racing Friday will be bored and so will we. We can each do that in our free time. I need laps and I’d be willing to bet that you all do as well.

I think what Neutty is trying to do is commendable as hes trying to accomadate all of us. You've got the enduro guys, the ARL GR3 guys, and the IRS 2.4 runners all in the same race that hes trying to help prep for the upcoming events in each respectable league. It's going to be impossible to replicate this race for the upcoming events due to different tire and fuel rates, BOP, Class etc.

Not really sure what's best at this point. Personally I wouldn't mind using this race as a complete 90min mock with no points being scored. That way people can use whatever car/BOP they want with peace of mind knowing they can try out different strats and not run the risk of putting up sub-par points.

With ARL using different wear rates than IRS, maybe have 2 separate lobbies so people can practice under race conditions.

I know I'll be practicing for the IRS event as it only happens once a year and it's my first time participating. For the ARL guys that aren't running it, they can join the ARL lobby to prep for the Saturday event.

Just my 2c. Ultimately its Neuttys call as hes El Jefe here

That is actually really good idea Sam I think it is a great idea
 
Lots of great and valid points.

Tonight will be a non-points night.

I want to ask everyone if they would rather run and practice for ARL please PM ME and we can see about getting a lobby going if enough interest.

If you plan and need to race the 2.4 portion and you haven’t already posted here your confirmation please do so now.

Speak up now. If you do not speak up I will plan to have the lobby open with 2.4 settings. Like I’ve said before if 1 lobby, we will get you to the right Gr.3 BOP so you can practice the track.

If you want to race with 2.4 settings and in a GR.1 you may do so as well.
