September 25, 2007 Online Race
« on: September 23, 2007, 04:26:26 PM »
OK, drivers. Here are the tracks for the next Muscle, Inc. Online Race set for next Tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. Central US (-6 GMT).

Laguna Seca, 10 laps
Road Atlanta, 10 laps
Suzuka, 10 laps

There will be an optional FCT race following the three Muscle, Inc. races. I will let Hoplee identify the track...possibly a pair of 10 lappers on two different short tracks.

From this point on we will run 10 lap races.

Remember to check your cars to see that they are spec. I can't check for tires so you're on your honor. BTW, the '70 Challenger is now on the list!

Post in this thread to sign up.

We need a solid count to know if we need more than one room.

I'll be there again (someone has to be last right!!)  I don't have any FCT cars but if I get a chance I'll throw one together.  I will definately run the MI races.  I had a blast last time with all the wrecking and tire issues.  I need to work on running consistant times and not just hotlaps, usually difficult with my tire choices.  Either Stardust or GeeTO Tiger will be on tap for race duty as they are MI spec without using the low durability tires.  Unfortunately they are severe compromise builds and aren't really good for anything but average duty.  I'll give it a go again.
Go sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

I thought about building a missile for the Road Atlanta race, but I don't think the tires will last ten laps!  :D

How many are running the Challenger?

I was going to really get into the paint job, but then I chose the factory Alpine White when I had a "Vanishing Point" flashback. Now if I could just find a radio station with "Super Soul" as the DJ...

fairly small list here.

I will send invites to those who signed up. I don't reckon I will  plan anymore of these.

I don't know what the hell that is supposed to mean. I spent a week getting up before 3 a.m. to get this place up and running and another damned week promoting your projects so you could get off to a solid start here. And now you want to screw with me?

I really don't have the patience for this tonight. You all run your own damned races.

I'll see you around.

I apologize for anything my statement may have implied.

I had hoped to communicate that they were going to be great.

Instead, something else came across.

Once again, I apologize.

pm sent.

Well, we'll let them sort that out...  :-[

***

You know, I do believe that racing on line an entirely different skill set than hotlapping or racing the computer generated dummies.  You might be thinking, "well no Duh Blooze, welcome to the party..."   Well gimme a minute here.  It isn't just the driving and adjusting to opponents that are somewhat flighty, not only due to being a people instead of a pile of on and offs, but becuase there is a bit of lag on the best of situations, and occassionaly, there's a lot of lag - (I got slapped plumb across the road, the ditch, and a small hay field into some tires last night by something I never seen last night...  :-\)  - it is that environment that takes getting aquainted with.  The whole thing, the conversations, everything can take a while to get used to.

I'm really not very good at it.  I get to watching the car's jitterbug in front of me and drive right through my braking points (are they different on line?  It seems so) I think I hear my name, I try to concentrate on hearing, "Huh? - uh - oh!  Crap!"

I need to more practice, but I will need to sneak up on it...  like learning to drink scotch and think it is good... ;)

It was fun racing with ya'll last night - I hope I wasn't too much in the way.
