RACE NOTES:

- Thanks to everyone for driving a (mostly) clean race; few scrapes and bumps along the way but nothing like last week. That being said...

- I drove like a jackass this week (sorry Robo and Corey) so I took a few points off my total, which is what we'll be doing for anyone who repeatedly causes wrecks or contact throughout the race (and I mean like knocking people off track or spinning them, one or two accidental bumps is inevitable).

- The 'use rewind during your tuning sessions' thing worked really well (most people were within a second of each other laptime-wise) so that's what we'll be doing from here on out.

- For the rest of you who were still slower keep adding PI, as long as you match the time we don't really care what your numbers are like.

CURRENT ORLOVE TROPHY STANDINGS:

Tohru spent most of the race Orloving so...yeah...

Tohru (Tohru Rokuno) - 5

AutoFixation (Parlock3) - 1

Kampfmesser - 1

HyundaiBroNowHasAMiata - 1

Corey CC97 - 1

Thanks to TheVancen for the photos:

Pretty soon we'll have full videos of our races captured and posted on the YouTube, we're basically just waiting for someone to get some computer parts and finish building their PC.

This was easily the best race of this series so far. So much close racing. I had to fight my way back from 8th to get up there with you guys in the front. I'm also glad I retired THE SHRIMP. The Firebird is so much more fun.

02/16/2015 at 18:20

My count is off - I had 2 before, and picked up 5 Orlove's this race.

I need to get a video of my epic 360 spin from when somebody got a little...handsy...with my rear bumper. >.>

SVTyler > Tohru
02/16/2015 at 18:32

How many of those were unintentional? We gotta keep it fair for everyone else man.

Tohru > SVTyler
02/16/2015 at 18:43

Okay, that's a fair point. If we count only unintentionals, then my series to date count is four.

Yeah this one was awesome with all five people running up front... except for me running into you all every other turn. Sorry about that. Good to get some variety up in these lobbies too, this was the first race without a Camaro.

Wrath and RoboRed saved the video so I bet it's up on one of their storefronts. Remember who it was that spun you?

i can put it up there later if you like.

Sadly, no. I need to go back and check. It was on the first lap, though.

There was a lot of variety, even the first AMC. I was originally planning to keep racing THE SHRIMP just to keep our Mustang vs. Camaro rivalry going, but the Firebird and variety are way more fun. I have a feeling I might end up being the only one to use a Firebird.

Which is weird because both Firebirds are actually really good cars but everyone sleeps on them. It is cool to have a bunch of different cars in the series, I looked back and found that 19 different cars have been used so far. Really makes for interesting racing.

;n; wish I could of been there....

I think I've got my router fixed, I only had 3 of the 4 port the 360 needs open. We'll hop on Friday night and try and sort it out, and if that doesn't work out Corey said he could host for next race and we've never had a problem when he's hosted. Then again we never had any problems when I hosted...

New Connection bro. also why not Thursday night?

SVTyler > Cherry_man1
02/17/2015 at 17:05

Could do that too, we always get on on Fridays for practice so I dunno. I'll put in an edit next time I repost the pre-race thread and see what time everyone can do.

Cherry_man1 > SVTyler
02/17/2015 at 17:28

I mean Friday can work as well but that's like my total I have nothing to so both days can work

SVTyler > Cherry_man1
02/17/2015 at 18:17

We'll try Thursday and if anything's fucky and we can't figure it out we can try and fix it on Friday.

Great race. The Nova was sweet through the bends, but couldn't gain any ground on the Boss and Falcon in the straights. I'm happy with 3rd, though I spent 8-10 laps in 2nd place behind the lag-warping Javelin which was terrifying, and ended up getting put into a wall by someone lagging again.. all in all, great competitive race. Everyone's cars were pretty equal, and that one guy doing donuts managed to not wreck anyone :p

Happy you're liking it so far, I'm pretty content with everything we've got going on too apart from Internet connections. It's a Sophie's Choice, do we get everyone into the lobby and have some of them lag or do we pick a better host and leave a few people out. For the record we've never had lag like there was last week (probably because I wasn't the host) but I've messed around with my Internet settings and we shouldn't have any problems like last week. Shouldn't being the operative word...

TopSirloin > SVTyler
02/18/2015 at 17:14

Yeah I understand the dilemma. It was mostly lag-free, but the spots that did lag were pretty extreme examples. Hopefully the adjustments solve the problems. I'm supposed to work in the morning on Saturday, so I'm sort of up in the air whether or not I'll be able to go, but I'm hoping so. Do you have a target time for Road Atlanta's B450 race?

SVTyler > TopSirloin
02/18/2015 at 17:27

Hopefully, we'll have to Friday when we do our little practice sessions. Time this week is 1:40, hopefully that's not too fast.

TopSirloin > SVTyler
02/18/2015 at 23:18

I've gotten just under 1:40 in my Cortina on a few perfect laps. 1:40 is just right. I've got a ridiculous, seizure-inducing BMW M3 GT3 art car livery ready to go if I can race. 500+ layers on each side of the car.

SVTyler > TopSirloin
02/19/2015 at 12:15

Lol that should be fun to see in the post-race pics, a bunch of old-school classic liveries then some batshit rainbow Cortina amongst it all. And yeah we were running 1:40's all day long when we did a practice session Monday, should be good to go for the race.
