Thanks,I'm not sure if I'll keep doing it for the winter. Especially with 2 series at the same time.

Those write ups are hard work. Certainly a lot harder than what I have to do with setting up the races and keeping up the the race results and standings.
Aight bitches. I put in a run early as promised.
Not as fast as I was in practice. The track does not feel the same and I spent a lot of time trying to get around a grey AI. He took care of the situation and punted me and I flipped. Had to get marshaled which sucked. My first pit was taken with every AI car. If this has ever happened to you, you know how !@$#ed up that can be. When I made my way to the "spot" and started fueling. An AI hit my car and turned me towards the wall. Had to marshal out of that as well when I was set down.

Nice run Rob. I'm gonna practice some in a bit and maybe make my 2nd run.
Thanks.
Overall I think it was a decent run.
I do believe the fast lap will need to be in the 19's though. That is what I was getting in practice on occasion.

a 19 second lap will be crazy! IMO a 21 second lap is damn near perfect but I see you are barely above 20!
Maybe I'll practice a few laps and try run tonight. That looks like a good run to me,Rob.
Not 19 seconds flat. In the 19's. My fastest lap is 19.6 in practice so far. I have a handful of 19.8's and 19.9s.
I just could not get the line just right going around the last 3 turns during my run. That is the make it or break it section of the track for me. The rest of the track is just about automatic to get around.

I'm thinking about turning off the smoke and the sound, then it will be like a brushless setup 
I ran my second. Same as always, I hear "2 minutes" and I forget how to drive lol.

Nope,I ain't running tonight. I can't drive for crap or I don't have a decent set up for this track.

I like the looks of next weeks speedway, 4 minutes!
It's a sprint for sure.
The big question is whether you pit.
Some of us can do 4 minutes without a pit and some of us can't.
Those that have to pit will loose at least a lap doing so IF there are no issues. If there is an issue, the race is done for that racer. There is no margin for error in a 4 minute race.
I can't make 4 minutes unless I slow my car down.
Strategy will be playing a big part next week.

4min is a waste IMO.

Damn! I come up about 20 seconds shy of making it with no pit in four minutes. Guess I better start seeing what I can do to get a little more mileage out of my fuel.
What's the grip level? I think I can run 4min without a stop now.
It's a nice break at the tail end of the season leading up to the 30 minute finale. It's not by accident that it's where it is.

Since next weeks race is only 4 minutes, do you guys want me to increase the allowed tries from 3 to 5?

As a side note in regards to the Winter Season races. During Thanksgiving and XMas I plan on allowing 2 weeks to get the runs in. In those instances there will be 5 allowed tries to keep us occupied.
