Giddy up! It's Thursday night and us Canadians have a Holiday tomorrow so Parcells is looking forward to staying on past my normal 11:30 departure time and pushing the drinking and driving into Friday perhaps.
Also looking forward to allowing you "so called competition" to build up a huge lead in every spec race only to have Parcells pass you on the final lap while you're wondering what happened to the grip in your tyres.

Looking forward to it guys. I will try to get on by 6pm PST, but if I am not, feel free to go ahead with the spec races without me. At the very least, I will catch the last few spec races.
I really do hope you guys enjoy the car. It was fun to build and test it.

That what you say until the light turns green!!! Tire managent is hard to do when your trying to keep up.

You're obviously 100% correct there but that just makes me more determined to try and remember but the beer is tasting pretty good now, we'll see what happens. Thanks for the reminder about the green light, no need to cook the tyres on the start either, maybe the best thing to remember for Parcells?
Parcells loved the car and did remember to conserve my tyres but unfortunately I fucked up most of the spec races on my own accord.
Me thinks a VW Golf is in order for an upcoming spec car cause we had some spectacular races earlier in the night with this beauty. Was all over Mark for 4+ laps around London but the best was Tood, Dan and me on the last 4 laps around Deep Forest reverse, neck and neck (and neck) with about 5-6 passes throughout, its what you dream for in races !!

Another great idea by Parcells. You always think about the enjoyment of the participants don't you? I did you a solid and built the Golf for April 19, it's lookin pretty sweet. I Picked an odd choice of tracks and also updated the spreadsheet.
Sorry for screwing you over last night in the spec races, you're a much better racer than that and deserve better.

The car was fun to drive and with soft tires made it more enjoyable!! If you spun out, your tires were gone and that made it very interesting. I did notice Parcells taking it easy on the earlier laps to save the tires which was pretty funny cause it looked like he wasnt even trying to race,but I have to give it to him he stayed with his gameplan.
If enough people are interested in running a second GT5 session this coming Saturday night let me know. Same time, 7:00 EST start'ish until we tire. recommended or shuffle or whatever the hell anyone wants to do.
I'll update the thread later this week with the GO/No-GO decision which is dependant on at least 4-5 other commitments.

Dan, Sheldon, Mark and Todd all confirmed Saturday night so the decision is a GO. Come on now Greg you know you want to join us.
BlowMonkey,
Please send "Parcells2" a friend request BEFORE 7:00 EST on Saturday night so I can accept it and then you can get into my room when the family chaos settles. Good chance we'll be racing until 11:00 or possibly a tad beyond that? Or if you can make it tonight for a bit send FR before 7...I always check messages before starting up the room.
7 might be early for me on Saturday night Parcells but I should definetly be on a little later if you guys are still on. 7:00 on a Saturday with 4 kids a screaming wife and a psychotic dog - my house is basically a warzone at that point lol :D
We'll do buddy. It's looking less and less likley for me tonight - but Saturday should be fine (just later in the evening like I said). Played GT5 last night with a buddy in my PS3 clan - had a blast.
how do i find schedule for these races? im in 202r with blowmonkey. im interested in racing with you guys - even tonight if its not too early. hu_ fling_du on psn.
nevermind... i found the info on p1. hope to see you all later. been sim racing for years (since nascar racing and grand prix legends.) i do have a headset and a wheel. looking forward to it!

Wow, a Colt fan that is willing to admit it. Amazing...
Welcome, this is a good, albeit small group of guys. Many of us have been racing on a weekly basis together in GT5 for over a year. Its never lost its luster.
Parcells will overlook your suspect logo Indy727 and welcome you aboard. You've found the relevant information so just make sure you send "Parcells2" a PSN freind request...I'll accept it shortly before I log in at 7. Hope to see you tonight.
Some great races again last night guys, those Minis always entertain!
The general consensus was to start our impromptu Saturday night session at 8 EST vs. 7. Parcells should be on-line shortly after 7:30.
Great to have you on board last night IndyFan, you race very well…You’ve also set the bar pretty high for BlowMonkey Will you guys continue your recruiting efforts in the 2O2R group or should Parcells pay a visit over there…we’ve probably been missing out on this for some time now?

I will try to join you guys tomorrow night, but I can make no promises. Just depends on when the Mrs. wants to have dinner and when the kiddos settle down and go to bed.
This car is really fun to drive, nice pick Zero. Definately have to agree with Parcells, tire management will be key this week.

Smoke makes everything better though.....
Good, fun racing last night guys. It sounded like everyone liked the car. Tire wear is an interesting variable when we run on soft tires????

yes sir. 5 bucks wasted.
Its not wasted $$$, its one of the best tracks in this game, if not in all of sim racing.
As part of re-discovering Shift 2 (PC version), I did this track and it was freaking awesome, almost as good as the GT5 and iRacing versions!!!
That warms my heart buddy, seriously I'm very happy for you. You let me know when you want to run it and it's a done deal, you can pick the car too.
I owe you $5.00. If I can get you guys golfing again this year (late September) you're taking 5 from me and a beer or three, no arguments.
I might not be able to make it, but I'm going to try. If anything I'll be late.
