None of the above, I'm a Christian

 

[FlipJ]

Another tip I've discovered is keep your BD len and disc clean.
For the most part. The cache and rebooting the system seems to help.
In fact if you look at other online races. It is a requirement before entrying the track.

I'm going to try to do that tonight, hopefully it helps.

Just curious, though, being a requirement probably works on the honor system, right? I imagine there's no way to really check that.

 

[MRTeam]

From what I've read. It helps reduce your chances of being booted or kicked.
As far as a requirement. If you want to stay on track I would suggest it. Any tip during this mess is helpful.

I don't see a problem with his wishes. Is it possible you could make some exceptions?

Theoretically I'd say yes if the context of the listed items were altered.

 

[MRTeam]

Explain a little more so everyone understands.

Is this directed towards me? I don't think I make much sense via the forums.
I could do this all night long.

I was mostly thinking about booze in the champagne spraying type.
I was baptised and took communion, so I'm not a complete heretic, but the women bit is in the context everyone thought off, so I don't think that would be approved by all my jesuit teachers.....

/22 years of studying under the jesuits and still making jokes like that

Life long change I suppose. I'm not attacking you, I merely stated my stance.
Champagne spraying ratio should be discussed: how much is too much to pour down the drivers back???

 

[FlipJ]

I didn't feel attacked, don't worry.
I'm a firm believer in to which its own and, after 22 years studying under the jesuits and a few more years meeting people from all over the world, I've learned about religions a lot and I have the utmost respect for the believers (I'm not one, regrettably).

And I think it depends on the driver's budget. If it's going to be a problem, either stop winning, get better sponsors, buy a dry cleaning joint or just get used to sticky gear...

Ha ha you have a quick whit.

 

[MRTeam]

I'm just asking the question. You stated None of the above.

 

[PaulGrey]

I'm just asking the question. You stated None of the above.

As far as I know, most of our drivers are drinking during the race as it is, so I don't think that Booze at the podium would be a problem. As far as women at the races go, I'm all for it. We should be embracing the fact that any woman wants to be near us after 35 laps of Spa in a racing suit. P-u-stinky.

See you all tonight. This means you too Tjger

 

[MRTeam]

Right now my blood is boiling.
I'm at Angels 25 trying to at least watch tonight's race. I know I won't make it.

Now I find out that women should not be part of the pit crew.
I've had girls working my car since Gran Turismo 1
So on behave of Sheryl, Jules, Angelina, Elizabeth, Kate, and my Team Owner Jenny.

Texaco 5 this tjger....
Go ahead tjger....
Yeah standby...I maybe heading back.
Copy... any problem....
No... just ......not in the mood.
Roger, we'll inform Hog Pen you won't be spending the night.
THANKS Grand Valley this is tjger....
Go ahead we're listening.....Any problems?
No I'm coming home....code 1. Everything's fine.
Copy, Jules says the # 91 Viper is fixed and we have the Mustangs ready.
You girls always make it happen....Thanks Don't tell Jenny, I'll surprise her.

As usual, as usual.

I need a beer now.
tjger this Texaco.....
Go ahead.....
Crack the canopy and we'll try......
Yeah Baby, a beer, any kind.


In closing. I've always learned to never mix an individual's belief with what he is doing.
It makes for a bad combination.

I'm also going to apologize for my quite serious childish behavior.
Unfortunately my blood pressure is still above unacceptable limits.
My mouth does get me in trouble so.....The decision stands.
I will not race or even show up tonight to watch.

Congrates to the winner(s).

I'm so confused right now that I don't know what to make of this^^^^^^^^^^^^
and your right, you don't talk politics or religion as your always bound to offend someone.

Great racing last night guys and even though my performance in the "event" was sub-par, I still had a good time. Good to have some new guys in too for some of the races but we sure could have used Tjger there. If nothing else, at least for the colorful commentating.

Looking forward to hearing what the organizing team comes up with for the next series. Early word on the street is that it has something to do with speed boats, olive oil and cotton candy but I may have just heard that wrong. Damn these old ears of mine!!!!!!!!

I want to log another protest against the heavens and tarkus' special kick out button, with special feature: syphoning gas out of the leader. STILL NOT AMUSED!!!

Seriously, though, yesterday was a ton of fun, the Spa race was a really good time. That track is absolutely fantastic.

As a humble suggestion, how about some Le Mans action soon? I'm already getting excited for the real thing in June (cars are being tested and it looks like it's going to be a good race again this year) and was hoping to get some actual racing done there (AI sucks at that track, it's way too easy).

 

[mckeag53]

Tjiger: I was asked my reasoning and stated it. No offenses were implied or intended. I was asked a question and answered. I won't chastise nor do I expect to be so.
You guys deserve to know who you're dealing with so I'm not afraid to say it.

We were slugging it out a solid 10 laps. That was worth the last place finish.

Management has been batting around this idea for some time, it is in the cards

To continue your point I like the idea. Just not interrested in running the prototype class or what ever it's called. I'd run GTS or similar spec. Maybe we could have 2 tiers/ classes in that sort of event. ...

 

[mckeag53]

Alright team, the Thursday coming up (the 17th) is a crowd chooses night of single racing.
Please post any suggestions you may have and Management will attempt at incorporating them into next weeks lineup.

 

[MRTeam]

Right now guys I will be busy for this weekend.
If its one thing my girls do very well when they're pissed is go shopping.

Most of you know what's significant about next thursday.
Lemans is doable. The question is should it be the big boy toys or the other classes. Also who is raise the cash.

Oh fudge, here they come.

 

[tarkus1]

I'm all for a LeMans race. Maybe this coming Thursday we spread out the PP limit a bit more instead of sticking in the mid to upper 500's.
On another note and more of a reply to Flip; you guys should see my PS3 dual shock controller. I have all kinds of additional buttons on it ranging from "BTL" to "SG" and anything in between such as an Tire Air Redistributor. I can also add drag to opponents cars without them knowing. I know, I know, you're all wondering why I still manage to end up towards the back of the class in the endo races. All I can say is that I do have a conscience so we'll leave it at that. I can still sleep at night.
Oh yeah, BTL is Boot The Leader and SG is Syphon Gas.

 

[MRTeam]

Oh brother,
It's as bad as me driving around the pits with my HARDS on.


As far as spreading out the PP.
Isn't that one of my plans I presented a few weeks ago?

One Casual night is a PP night. A range of Performance Points is presented and everyone pick the tracks. It doesn't have be a set number like we used a few weeks ago.

The next Casual night is track night. A range of tracks is presented and the drivers can fill in the rest.

The next Casual night is everyone pick everything.

Then repeat the cycle or adding something new like One make night.

You guys want me back so bad that you guys can't think staright, drive straight, drink straight, and drink and drive straight.

Now I got to go. The 18 wheeler just pulled up. "Done shopping girls?"
Yeah the truck is full.

 

[tarkus1]

"As far as spreading out the PP.

That's true, but last week we seemed to be stuck in the mid to upper 500's. At least that's what I recall but I can also blame this on old memory. I think my cranium is full of DDR3.

I'd like that as well.
I actually enjoy racing the slower cars, even if the straights become veeeeeeeeeery long sometimes (Looking at you, Mulsanne!).

And as to the different categories at Le Sarthe, that could work if we have a fuller room. If we have 6 people racing with 2 categories, that could not work so well.
But it would add a pretty nifty challenge, as traffic would increase for the faster cars and possibility of being bumped for the slower ones.
I bet it would be cool.

 

[MRTeam]

Last week was suppose to be 'Track Week.'
A set of tracks were to be presented and you guys pick everything else.
The previous Casual night was Performance Points night.
Last week shouldn't have had both PP and tracks. Thats the confusion that you guys had.

Our drivers should have a voice in what is run on Casual night(s). Make it simple. If a driver's voice isn't heard, hang in there, the cycle will repeat itself.

We don't want drivers racing on Deep Forest with a broken GPS system and thinking they're running on Trial Mountain.
Oh and yes to the new guys. It's happened. The most thrilling ending to a race ever.
1st and 2nd place drivers thought they heard a tree fall so they slowed down and third place passed and won on the last corner.

Keep it simple and the fun will continue.
