BustedFoSho
Shuffle racing tomorrow at 10pm EST in Ph1sher's lounge is that right? I'll be there unless we have an earthquake, fire or riot or w/e. I'm from LosAngeles :nervous: we plan for these kind of things LOL.

Gonna be a public lobby. He'll post room # about 15 mins before race time.
 
The '65 Shelby GT350, has anyone been able to tame this beast? I can't keep mine on the track (comfort softs). I guess I screwed up when I did the stage 3 chassis weight reduction :(

Phish, are you still running wireless? I can host if needed. I'm running wired at 30 down over 10-15 up...

Yes. Can you host if your going to show up?
 
I did it. I hadn't been on GTA in about a week and i thought what the hell, I'll give it a quick shot. I had a moment if clarity while driving. I wasn't in the moment, but I was thinking while driving about what I need to do. Bam. Broke into the 18's. 2'18.861. I surprised myself. Ranked 141st in America. I actually feel accomplished!!

I basically gave up on gta this year. I figure I've done hours of gta this year and was in the top 300. So for myself being 16.. yes 16, I feel accomplished.

Awesome lap wins!! 👍 nice job man
 
A 2:18.xxx lap time? Faster than me, that's for sure. Yeah, I know you're going to say that myself, being one of the "fastest DS3 drivers in the league" (looking at you, Phish), should be a little faster, but I really gave that qualifying lap all I had, and its not very outstanding. Good job to all who tried, and got their laps; mine, while poor, is good enough for me.

What was your time? I heard it was pretty hard to get the car to slide right using a ds3 and that's pretty important on village and the loop. I was stuck in the 2'20's forever until I got the slide working. Then I kept having problems at Copse with the car want to slide. Last night I left it in gear longer and it kept it from sliding find I really accelerated past my ghost and I got a 1'19.070. Then I thought, what happens if I leave it in gear longer for brooklands? I did that and ended up with my lap time. I really nailed sector 1 that lap too. I had a personal best 37.8 at the split and couldn't come close to that.

The demo has ruined me. I can't even play gt5 now. It just feels lackluster. Maybe due to the newness of 6 or maybe it's better. Who knows. But soon as I put in gt5 I don't even feel like racing.
 
Good Morning Turtles!

I am working this morning and will be home tonight. As you all know, I'm hosting (well scarecrow will host) for better connection. Join us at 10 p.m eastern time for some clean shuffle racing, and for some fun of stock racing! Hope to see a lot of you turtles there!

Mbobb- will do the 2 car track combos tonight. I got home last night at midnight and went straight to bed, since I work this morning shift. Thanks!
 
I will setup a public shuffle room at 9:30 and post the room number in this thread. You may also send a friend request to Scarecrow937 if you want to follow me in that way. The room will be titled "Turtle RL Shuffle". All are welcome, however Turtle members will have priority in case the room fills up. Even with the shorter races, we will be following the typical Turtle Racing League rules. I hope to see everyone on the track tonight. We will discuss shuffle ratio once folks start arriving. ( I'm thinking 3 since we'll be running several races)

Thanks scarecrow I'm really looking forward to tonight.
I have a question tho, to put in a room # you click on the circle that has what looks like a grid on it? I'd check but I'm at work and I won't have the ps3 on till around 9:30.
And could you clue me in on what shuffle ratio is.

You are right ... circle with the grid! Shuffle ratio decides how much better/worse the car you get next round. Higher the ratio, the bigger the change. Think of it as a handicap...

Ahh, the ratio decides how much chance I have of getting mics '70 challenger that tops out at 112 mph.
 
If anyone wants a good tune for a RUF BTR I put mine on share. Its tuned for 550pp on sport softs. You won't set any records with it but it makes for a good drive.
 
Hello gentlemen
I think I will be there tonight for shuffle racing.
Lets have a good turnout if we can. Shuffle racing is pretty fun.

How'd it go last night?

Wins it was a blast!! Missed you. No time to elaborate rite now but I haven't had that much fun in a long time and on the flip side I've never been molested that much by strangers either. Some of the guys there that weren't turtles owe me dinner and drinks. I don't believe in freebies.
Oh and MBOBB sorry for knocking you off track at trail mountain.
We need to do this every week.
Oh wins, 16 people in the room

Having trouble sitting down?
 
Lots of fun, we missed you last night Wins. I was hoping to get a peep at those GTA skills kudos on that killer time. Overall it went better than expected and I didn't finish last every race YEEHAW!! Did get bumped around quite a bit though I got tossed all the way up on the big fence around the Cape. Didn't know my car could go that high :lol: . The 1st turn rule took a real beating :grumpy: I think that's a constant in shuffle racing with e1 in a diff car your gonna have everyone taking it a lil different. After we lined up it pretty much went without incident. Except Bobb got really pissed at someone for smackin into him. I don't want to name any names but their initials were Socket68. HAR HAR j/k pretty sure it was a non Turtle. Don't fault him though, they were on a str8away WTF? I'd be pissed too. Scarecrow was a beast lastnight well done man. 👍

If MBOBB was pissed at me can't blame I whacked him pretty good not being quick enough on the brakes. I felt bad. I did pull over let him back by but it was to little to late. I don't think either one of us made up more than a pos. or two.
It was great fun. I knew it would be. And hats off to the turtles that were there, I think a turtle won every race.
 
Not mad at anyone. It was great fun. Whenever you have a bunch of drivers in different cars and alot of non Turtles, I expect that to happen once in awhile. I dont remember you hitting me though Socket, no big deal though.
Thanks again to Scarecrow for hosting. I had so much fun I think that should be a regular part of our racing. It was a very nice change of pace.
Thanks to all that could make it.

Yes big thanks scarecrow.
It would be fun to figure out a way to work that in each week.
I liked the way he had little pause in between races. Finish the race. Vote. Start the next race.
I wish I would have seen that he open another room when we all left the first. I could have done that till 2 in the morning.
 
Hey Turtles,

Great fun on Saturday night. I know it got a little rough at times (that happens with randoms), but other than that it was a very enjoyable evening. I did have to boot a few individuals and one mass boot after the race on Sarthe where people were intentionally wrecking cars. I thought it was neat how a Turtle won every race and we were never the instigators of bad driving (says something about our league). I tried to keep everything fair and would help vote for tracks for people who were dying all night to do their favorite track. Someone kept voting for Sarthe, so I vetoed everyone one round and chose that and I hope you guys didn't mind. If I'm not running Turtle, but i'm racing online, I'm shuffling. Feel free to send me a friend request for those not already on my list as typically over the weekend, you'll see me in and out of shuffle rooms. We had the one weird glitch where I couldn't access the "event options" and then later where i could get into "event options" but couldn't change shuffle base (hence the last 3 races at 400PP). I've looked around this site and haven't found much about it, but I know at one point in time shuffle racing was affected by an update. If anyone has any ideas as to what happened or a possible fix, please let me know. I'm up for doing this more, so say the time and place and we'll make it happen. I play Battlefield 3 many Friday nights with a friend from work, but when i'm not doing that, maybe an unofficial Turtle Shuffle Room should be created on Fridays. Hope to see some of you at practice Wednesday (remember Isuzu 4200R Concept at SSR5) and than again on Saturday. Maybe I'll be shuffling this Friday...maybe you will too.

Edit: 2 quick points.

1. I didn't really enforce the turn one rule because I knew we all knew it and it's hard to do when shuffling. Some cars weigh three hundred kilos more than other cars and its just weird. Everyone has different braking distances. The turtles were clean and most of the non-turtles seemed to follow our lead.

2. I'm glad you like that I run shuffling fast because that's how I do it. With the races only being about 10 minutes or so if you need a break, just step away. The next race will be on by the time you get back. With the exception of the people I knew that were skipping an individual race, I would just start the race is once I saw everyone on track.

99 model with 113k miles 5 speed 2.5 4 cylinder. Not much to look at but it's good enough for me!!!
 
Holy Crap! I know what it looks like and I swear on my momma I wasn't trying to instigate or start up any chit. Honestly had know Idea that it was really Socket that hit BOBB. I was just F'n around messin with Socks who has basically become my mentor and confident since joining. I apologize to both of you and the league. Won't happen again. Pretty crazy how I hit that on the head maybe I should go buy some lottery tix :dopey:
