We could do the Mustang at VIR. Its this weeks track.
I have never raced on it yet. Could make for some good laughs.

How about a single car model on a small track to keep the racing kinda close even if we have a small turn out.

MX-5 Cup or Advanced Legends at one of the short tracks like VIR South Course or Patriot, or Barber Short B. The Barber track looks pretty easy to learn and has a nice straight, so I have somewhere to pass you slower drivers. :lol:

I will figure out something different. I hate driving some of the slower cars, It chances my reflexes from the DP car. Maybe the F-1 at VIR.... HMMM

I bet Bob can't keep that on the track. But the S's in the F-1 would be fun.

i tried the f1 at vir. Your right can't keep the car on the track.

So where are we at tonight? I have been racing the street stock on the short track. It is a fixed setup and lots of fun. Way better then the legend car.

I pull off a 4th place finish last night. That Oval stuff is tricky for just turning left.

Rodger

So where are we at? I raced the MX5 at Sebring last night and it was fun. Or lime rock grand am practice

I just found something interesting.

MX5 cup car race at Limerock.

Rodger 1:01.005
Lino 1:00.253

ME 1:00.019

You guys need to step up your game, cause now I have nothing to shoot for.

Alright MX 5 at Limerock. You will have to report back about the beat you will get.

I'm going start early.

Rodger

Lino is fast. He got in the 59.9 second range.
Rodger needs more time in the Mazda, he was in the 1:00.750 range.
I tried as hard as I could, the best I could do was a 1:00.033.

I wish we had more lat-g guys involved, its a blast.

Driving that Mazda develops bad habits in my Prototype racing. But last night was fun. That car is completely the opposite of what I usually run. Power, speed, braking, Sex appeal.

As soon as I get my next license, I'll race grand am with you and Lino.
Im only .5 away on my SR. But I was so close a couple weeks ago with only needing .05. I did find out in the forums that when your that close you should just do time trials and qualifying sessions to get what you need.
Cause as I've learned if some one hits you, your score takes a hit.

Nice drivin' last night Bob. But, I'm starting to think you had a ringer run laps while you chatted. :D

You can tell the laps when I was talking. I don't think I talked that lap. I tried to talk only on the straights, cause i always ran into trouble in the corners while talking.
Where do you have your chat button? Mine is the lower right hand button on the g27 wheel.

Mine's mapped to the left steering wheel button on my G25. I have trouble hitting my marks if people are chatting during a race, let alone trying to talk myself.

Promotions are coming up in a few weeks. Did you get your safety rating up high enough yet?

I'm trying but I run into a bit of bad luck every other race.
Last night before racing I had an sr of 2.49. I get in a race (MX5 at Laguna)without qualifiy.
Started 12th last place, by lap 3 im in 7th coming into turn one guy hits me and flips me over, he apologizes says he lost his brakes and its cause his g25 is having connection problems. so I lose .06 on my sr.
I get in a qualifing session and get my .06 back.
Then I get in another race, I qualify 1st. Finish 1st. my sr went up to 2.63.
Im almost at a 3.0 just need to keep it above that for my next promotion. I don't see me getting a 4.0sr in races with alot of rookies.

I just ordered my new supery dupery Win 7 - 1 terra byte - dual HD video card - 8.1 surround sound - 3 X 26" HD video monitors TODAY....

However, like Rodger said to me this AM ------ Skill is optional... or NOT included!


:rofl: :rofl:


It's going to take me weeks of driving 8 hours a day to catch up to you guys!

But I'm willing and ABLE to do that! :lateral: :cheers: :woot:

Nah won't take u long. I'm already faster than Rodger!!
LOL

Damn I'm jealous of the 3 screen deal.
Alot of the online guys say it's a must

Really? In what the mazda? Let's race my car anytime buddy.

Okay, Greg has got me a little nervous with his level of committment. I guess I'm going to have to start driving with two hands. :lol:


It's Monday again gentlemen. Any suggestions for car/track combo?

Bob's display of skill in the MX-5 made last week pretty interesting. So, I'm voting we stick with the MX-5 but maybe a track that none of us are familiar with? Or, maybe a wierd car at one of the rookie tracks, like Street Stocks or Advance Legends at Laguna.

Sebring....

I did bump my sr rating to a 3.48 so I'm now good for a promotion in a couple weeks.
I still have a rookie license in oval racing. I hate the legends car!!
Im down for whatever.

I wonder if I have sebring?

I've been super busy at work and missed the last couple of weeks. Are we on for tonight?

Sure where would you like to race? I have doing alot of oval racing. The street stock at Richmond was fun yesterday. I came back from 2 laps down to come in 7th.

Talladega is fun with those cars also.

Did you race the 2.4 hours of daytona? I was at the GNRS.

I missed the 2.4 Daytona race. My daughter had a cheerleading competition on Saturday. That was going to be a tough/fun race too. I think they fell just short of 1,000 racers. 150 Mustangs qualified and I'm pretty certain my personal best wasn't even going to get me into the top split.

Are you guys planning on running a full season? I ended up finishing 16th overall in the Grand Am Mustang class, so I'll probably be shooting for a top 10 this season. I just hope the car counts are a bit higher this go round. I might also run a D-class series in the MX-5 or at least something that runs everyday, so I can catch a race whenever.

Oval or road works for me. I'll see you online later.

Lets get to racing Boys!!
I'm running consistant 1:44.1 at laguna with the MX5 cup and best is 1:43.9
Come on Rodger your slacking!!

Lino and I were racing tonight and he started in 3rd, me in 5th. We both did horrible, he finished in 8th and me in 9th. It was fun though.

I just got rid of my Rookie statis . Have to get a Stang though .
Hosted races wont afect your rating , so for me thats good .

Whats your name on iracing?

I have been practicing the C6R. I'm not much of an MX-5 guy. Last week at Watkins Glen. I do better in the bigger HP cars.

Last week one of the few times i have had time to practice, I ran at WG and they did not use the bus stop. That was a fast track. No bus stop but they ran the boot. I did pretty well. Maybe we should run that tonight.... We have run that girl car Mx5 enough.... Or maybe a superspeedway race again

c6 where?

does everyone have c6r?
I'm good, but not sure about the rookies and Lino.

Greg can buy the C6. I know Lino has it. We raced it at DEGA before. We can run the fixed set up.

Dude!


What time? Where? Hosted race?

I can buy the car if they'll let me drive it!

LOL
:woot:

Okay... Those C6R's are a hoot and a half! Just putting the power down coming out of a corner makes 'em a handful... and the brakes! Wow!

I really liked WG track too!

New nickname.... "Crash".


:thumbsup: :D

Yeah last night was alot of fun. You need to get your mic and head set working. Last nights race was going well until Bob just hit me from behind and he continues to brake way to late. I got my personal best down to a 142.5, I think.

I brake late?
How about you brake too early? You got them fancy pedals that take you deeper in the turn. I got a 143.9 which I don't think was bad concidering I don't drive that car and that was the first time at that track with that configuration.

Lino spun out infront of me about half way into the race. I hit him and my steering was screwed up, but I still stayed and finished the race. 2 laps to finish and I got a flat tire, due to the one tire pushing. First time I have ever gotten a flat tire, it was the funniest thing I have ever seen, it felt and sounded so real. So I finished in 2nd place with a flat tire.

My Mommy made me come in from "the shed" early.... :D

Yeah I bet she did. Hopefully she gave you a hard time about having a purple vette.
