Church, if you need someone to host a 2nd room let me know. I have a good connection and can understand simple directions to setup the gametype. Unless you had planned on having me in the 1st room. Let me know.

I'm only looking at running one room...

But if there is more than 16 of us on the night I will split the room in 2 and need a back up host.

Well done Cooter you have the job smiley

I hope we can get driveby in the room. Max and myself are rather outnumbered when in reference to team mates in the race. We'll see.

Driveby, you should still practice. The 3 of us should get together one night and race together in these fine automobiles. See where we stand time wise. Also take some badass pics (i kinda want to make a new sig for myself anyway)

I've been running laps. Clocking some pretty good times. Got a solid setup. Feeling pretty good about the race.

No worries cooter.

Its fun trying to have a room as full as possible but not leave anyone out. 

Oh the joys of hosting.

I've been fortunate enough to run some practice races with a few guys (Grim, Max, Pap..others)  and it has been awesome. Some of us are running close lap times. I can only imagine what the race will be like. I hope I can make either one of the rooms. This will be epic!

My lap times. A high 4:08 in there somewhere and steady 4:09's. I think I can better that but probably not by more than a second. Maybe a low 4:08 but that would be one heck of a flyer. Over the course of 1.5 hours ..who knows.

Got a few in.

KC indecently quick as usual ;)

This one is not going to be all about pace though. Going to need to look after the car.

Just remember to give each other space and watch the walls and those little curbs that will flip you instantly and finish your race for you.

 

Its going to be interesting to see how many people start to how many finish :-)

Looking forward to this, I hope it goes better than the last endurance race with sim damage I did here. It was only the second lap and I was following Surf, he hit the brakes much earlier than I expected comming into the first chicane and I slammed into the back of him. Race over for both of us, I still feel bad about it.  The lesson is just to be careful out there.

And don't follow directly behind a car your unsure of. Just stay a bit to the left or right so if they do hit the brakes you have an exit.

Thanks Dad kind of what I was saying, but it was good of you to explain it to us as if we are 5 year olds.

Well Fitzy, you know how we all act rather immature right? I'm sure Church just kind of thought of himself as a parental figure over a number of children. Actually, alot of children.

Tis race day, my car is full of gas, new tires, and the weather is beautiful. Might have to stop by McDonalds prior to race just to get a feel for that first chicane a few times.

Switched to the wheel. At least 10 seconds slower..sad.  Should still be good fun.

Are we using handicaps for this race?  If so, what are the target times you would like everyone to run?  I know the fast drivers can pull 4:04-4:12's, and the rest are anywhere between 4:12-4:30's.
