I'm x1800HowsMyDMRx! Thats a remnant of my Halo days. I'm out of the series indefinitely since my xbox decided to red ring on me for the third time yesterday.

Ferrari; the "hold my beer and watch this" of GT racing.

That seriously sucks, dude. Is it still under warranty? Depending on how long ago you sent it in the second time it might be, I think it's like a year or something.

We'll see, I haven't looked into it yet and probably won't until the fall. I'm just too busy for the next month.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU?!

It's every other Sunday at 9EST and races only last an hour or so (we got this round over with in under 40 minutes). Always welcoming more people if you'd like to join us the 17th.

Actually, its an new generation 360 I bought two years ago. This one hasn't gotten a whole lot of use other than during the summers. My original 360 took way more abuse from marathons of Halo 3, Cod4, and Cod WAW and red ringed on me twice.

Understandable, man, sounds like a lot of people are going to be starting school so we'll see what happens with everyone else, too.

Kailand09 > SVTyler
08/06/2014 at 18:08

Hm, maybe. It will depend on the weekend. Are we required to attend every race? Only problem is I am used to iRacing and a wheel, now wheel for xbox so I might suck.

I actually might! Give me tonight to go hunting, we gotta have at least one around here somewhere...

You can drop by whenever man, only like two or three people have actually raced in all four rounds so far anyways. The skill disparity is all over the board so no worries about being slow or anything, it seems like there's been close racing in all these races (finishing times have been within like five or ten seconds for most positions).

Kailand09 > SVTyler
08/06/2014 at 18:57

sounds good. what class is the race? I'll have to set up a car.

I'll try to make it Sunday, but I'll be at the TUSCC race!!

SVTyler > Kailand09

Any current R3 GT car (max PI 800, tunes allowed) excluding Porsche Cup cars (GT3 RSR's allowed), Audi R8 LMS, and BMW Z4 GT3. The Vancen's original series post for more info: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/oppo-fourza-ra…

Goal for next race: not wreck on the first turn :(

And sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you guys, my mic wasn't working

Also, I'm going to miss the next points race; I'll be on vacation

I hope my corvette is an R3, don't remember.

If it's the '11 ZR1 it's legal, I think CamaroBoy68SS used that in our Le Mans race and did pretty well up until he was disconnected. Also you also don't have to use the same car for every round so if you feel like changing cars or whatever that's cool, too.

Kailand09 > SVTyler
08/06/2014 at 20:34

Nice. I think I have a GS and a C5.R? I'll have to check. Either way I think I have the money for a ZR1.

And yeah, I may switch a bit around, though I'm a big corvette fan, usually prefer to race them when I can!

No worries on all fronts, crap happens, especially in online videogames. I assume we'll be having a "fun" race next weekend if you want to get in on that :)

Found an XBL card but it was used :( If I find another one I'll let you know man, there's gotta be another one around here.

If you want to race we're on right now! FR IXII Wrath IIXI or mackleroy45 and we'll get you in here.

Hey sorry I had to duck out, for whatever reason I couldn't understand anything said. Bed time anyway, ill be working on a better tv

It's all good man, no worries. Thanks for racing with us.

Kailand09 > SVTyler
08/18/2014 at 06:08

Thanks for inviting me out, sorry I was pretty piss poor, but I'll make sure to be more prepared next time. Do you announce which track we'll be at before hand?

SVTyler > Kailand09
08/18/2014 at 07:24

It's totally fine, dude, we're always stoked to have more people participating. Here's the full schedule of the series; Indianapolis is next and it's never too early to start practicing and tuning (FWIW I and some of the series regulars normally start practicing a few days after the previous race). If you don't tune your cars yourself check the storefront, some of those guys have ridiculously quick setups they sell cheap (sometimes even free). The GT is actually really good at Indy but if you want to use a different car you don't have and can't afford just message me, I have a ton of money and wouldn't mind sending you a car or two.

Kailand09 > SVTyler
08/18/2014 at 17:24

Thanks! I'll have to check what I would want as an R3 car. As a corvette fan, it's tough since the R3 Zr1 is a $7 DLC. Not sure what I'd want past that yet, though I could probably set something up decently. The TV is the biggest issue.
