Spot Race: No-ABS / Ford Falcon XR8 @ Indy?

[CodeRedR51]

So the V8 Supercars are supposed to announce the race date for the 2013 Austin Texas race sometime this week, and I thought we would celebrate by running the Falcon V8SC at Indy w/no ABS next weekend.

Would need significant interest for this to move forward. Would also like to schedule it at a time when Australian members can participate, so it may be later at night for USA racers.

I'm down for this, what time/day . If it's good time for Aussies I will ask my mate to come along and maybe his friends who he races in their "RaceOnOZ" website.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll have to look at some times come up with something tomorrow.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Ok cool 👍. (Hopefully more are interested here though )

 

[Mac K]

I'm interested for sure if the date and time is right.. Indy seems like a cool track to run these beasts on.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's what I'm looking at. Unfortunately it'll be late for the Europe guys, but not much I can do about that.

This is the time the room will open. The race will start 1 hour later:

05:00PM MST (USA) UTC -7
08:00PM EDT (USA) UTC -4
10:00AM EST (Australia - Sydney) UTC +10
08:00AM WST (Australia - Perth) UTC +8
01:00AM BST (UK - London) UTC +1

Race is on Saturday, September 29, 2012

Might be able to go back 1 hour, but that means the Western Australia guys might have to set their alarm.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I'll ask Corey if he is up for it and ask him to ask the guys from their OZ league .

 

[CodeRedR51]

Thanks, doesn't seem to be getting much attention here.

 

[paulmac2k9]

So is the Falcon prohibited tuning or tuning allowed?

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

I'm really interested, but I don't have the car

 

[CodeRedR51]

Tuning allowed.

 

[Mac K]

I've been testing this car and track combo and it's so much fun.. Come on people!

 

[Müle]

I'd do this.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Spread the word!

 

[m8h3r]

Dunno if I have the car, or if it will be suitable for England Timezone but I'll come along if I can.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What's everyone running for times?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Postponing this for a couple weeks. Need more interest than what we've got. Next weekend I'm moving and Bathurst is happening so it'll have to wait a couple weeks.

 

[Müle]

Feel free to advertise in my Nationwide thread if you want. I want to see this happen.

I did a quick test and got a 31.5 I believe.

 

[ENFORCER 98]

im down for this although i was unable to pass the message on @ RaceonOz because of technical problems with the site

 

[paulmac2k9]

No probs Corey was worth a try atleast 👍.

 

[Mac K]

Offer a free Veyron Supersport as DLC for the winner and watch the entries come flooding in..

 

[paulmac2k9]

Ok RT I understand on postponing it a couple weeks...

Me and Corey are testing it and it's very fun . My best time is a 1:30.082 but I know I have 3/4 more tenths in me based on my sector times and Coreys best lap is a 1:30.310.

So Mule you have to up your game .

Also RT what laps were you thinking of?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Think thats about what I ran, can't remember now.

Edit: not sure on laps, probably enough for ~45 minute race.

 

[paulmac2k9]

That would be around 30 laps then. Tyres barely wear out until lap 10 . (I did my PB on lap 6 or 7 of my run )

 

[SNAKEiSM]

Tempted by this lads, if all goes well I should be right to race, the wife and I are expecting our first though, so things could change quite quickly.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I would realistically need 10+ to make this worth it.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Corey did say he has one of his Aussie friends interested and they practiced a while too. (Aussieman) He's one of the older, wiser ones who race in their league .

Eh! He's the same age as me! I'm not that old And by wiser he mean's he's a bloody clown

 

[paulmac2k9]

I just call him old as he acts like Coreys (Enforcers) dad . He is like what 29, from what Corey tells me of the races etc Aussie sounds quite calm and wise .

I need to venture over to the spot races section more often, I would love to get in on this. I'm always down for a ABS'less race will keep an eye on this thread!!
