Testing for new series - IROC (TESTING COMPLETED)
Testing for new series - IROC (TESTING COMPLETED)
Hey Guys, I was alking with Brntguy last night and we are going to try something new this week as a test session for an upcomming series to take place on Monday nights in a few weeks and we need all the help we can get. We will run this during the Monday Night Maddness timeslot. In short, IROC Series
We are going to run laps on 6 tracks this monday with a spec car. You will need each of the three following builds for this test session. I will also provide them on my SF. Green flag drops at 6:00PM (PST)
Brntguy will be doing a promo video for this event so if you are planning on making it out this Monday (or even if your not positive), please let sign up below with your choice of preferred color (from the list below) and your car number so I can get a livery out to you. Everyone must run with the assigned livery please.
Although tunes will be provided, this is an open tune so feel free to adjust the tune as needed, however the build must remain the same.

More details as we move along. Thanks and I look forward to see you guys on Monday
Sign me up Grimm, and I'll take the dark teal. Race #717
Can I see what it would look like in the purples? Or just gift me the livery with my name on the side and I'll figure out what color I want, probably be one of the purples. I'm a bit unsure if I will be able to participate on a regular in the series but I can jump in when I get the chance. Thanks Grim! HVAC guys + Spring/Summer = $$$
I'll do up a dark purple one for you. Please let me know right away though if you change the shade so I dont use it for someone else. Im trying to keep everyone in different colors.
Wish I could do this but my son has a ball game Monday night.
No problem. If there is a chance you can run with us, feel free to stop by. I can send you a car so you can have it ready should you be able to race. Just let me know which color.
put me in the grey, at least it will match my beard
I would like to change my name that you put on the car from prebuilt to Joe Dirt..gif "15")
Is this an approved change?
@ Jimeez - I'll get that over to you shortly
@ Prebuild - If you must.
I can run the test session cause I have vacation. How about pink
Outstanding. Just sent the paint and builds to you. Feelk free to adjust the tune as needed
Hey Grim, can I get a Black n Gold?
And Grim or Stewie can I get tunes plz?
Stewie, are we representing? Did you say Pink?
I won't be able to run many if any after the test so I didn't want to pick a color someone might actually want.
Anyway it's breast cancer awareness month?
Well, I saw that paint and it instantly screamed black n gold to me, but sometimes that's just how it happens. I'm concerned with how late it might be? 10Pm starting times, 6 practice runs and then a race kills me. A 9pm or earlier would rock. And honestly, if no ones willing to runa earlier weeknight thing, I might try one myself. I know the west coasters might complain, but they've got alot they can run already so screw 'em, you know, in a non-gay way...all my love guys!
If Grimms got the car grouped up, I can swap the colors myself, vinyls and all, if that'd be easier for him?
Just curious if the base paints white on it, assuming so.
Also would like to catch him in a party chat later if I can...
Hey Oldschool
I'll send you the paint shortly. As for the timeslot, this is the same timeslot as the current Monday Night madness (6PM PST, 9PM EST and lasting for about 2 hours) to give brnt a break for a few weeks and since Im hosting it, there is no way I can run it any earlier. The other concern is if we were to split up the times, the rooms would be too thin (particularly the later shift) and to be honest, it would really suck to not be able to run in my own event because there is not enough interest given the two time slots (given that Im on the west coast and its OK to screw me, right)
That and the format is a pain for the person hosting it. In short (once the season starts) it's six 15 minute races alternating between road cources and ovals and in different PI settings. The entire race night should last around 2 hours or less (similar in length as the current monday night madness). There will be three different standings (overall, road courcse and Oval champions) based on average points earned so if you miss a few weeks/races, its no big deal. More info will be out later but that is the main concept.
I'll get the paint and builds over to you later today.
Thanks
No, I'm not into screwing the new guys, they'd just lay there...
There's been a history of "9:30"events which end up 10:30ish starts and east coasters have a rough time with it, and I'm even worse as I'm at work at 6:30am EST sooo...
I'm not looking at Monday night particularly, and probably would do maybe a Wednesday somewhere after Gizzies run, maybe, I dunno. But it wouldn't be a points run, less organized and more wandering, for an hour or so at the most. I do need to sit down and get an non-dlc list to look at though.
So is tonight a video shoot then?
gotcha, I read it as you wanting to take this series to an earlier slot on MOnday. No worries
As for this event, because there are 6 races (all at different tracks each night) and the handicap is based on how you finished in the previous races (similar to the SEAT Series) I plan to start the first race as close to 6:00pm (PST) as possible and you can bail/join at any time during the night. If I get home earliy enough, I may open the room up for a few practice laps prior to 6:00pm PST. Im working on the schedule and back story as we speak. Hope to have the official thread posted in a couple days.
Yes, tonight is the video shoot so the more the better Maybe we can get the TV Van to show up to show up.
Well, I can bring the club school bus? Or the A-team? Don't have a news van.
We actually have a 2O4F news van (ford transit) that Max did up with brnt's twitch/tv address on it (http://www.2old2play.com/forum/divisions/2old4forza/sub-forum-tuning-painting-racecraft/2old4forzaplay-news-van-504745)
Hmmm.....If im able to get on and get the news van and the car. I'll try my best. I haven't been able to get on to get either due to Mother's Day and my son wanting to play on my box with me.
Cooter - If you cant make it, I'll get the van out for a race.
All the requested paints and builds have been sent. If anyone still wants to participate tonight, I have two "guest" paints on my SF along with tunes for the event. There is a tune for the following
Tonight is simply a test session to get a feel for as many tracks as we can get in and most will be very short races (10 mins or so for ech one) for tonight only.
Hope to see you there and thanks for helping with the test session.
I will try my damndest to be there tonight Grim. I will be in the 1k hp Transit News Van.
"That shit was fun man!" -MaxPerforma
Thanks everyone for coming out to the test session. Learned a few things that will help firm up the schedule.
Also had some good times and laughs.
We will have one more shake down event next monday (5/20/13). Here are the tracks I plan to test.
I seem to remember me saying not even 2 races prior to the incident, "Wow, these things won't roll". Boy was I wrong. Anything can be rolled I guess. Anyone count how many times I went over just in that one incident? 5-6 at least, I think.
I remember saying those corners are a bit tight? I think I'll run S class...
If you still have room next Monday, I would like in. If not, that's cool. Didn't get home from baseball last night until 10:15.
whoops
