I havn't even picked up my controller yet. Tomorrow is another day.

I ain't got nothin' that'll touch that Jeff,great run! How the heck did you get a 6.6????

 

[Lessen]

6.6!

I cannot figure out how to get anymore speed out of my car. I'm not sure which angle to tackle the issue. Is it powerband? Is it entry? Is it center? I can't figure out where the improvement should be.

Josh has seen my setups. They're a bit weird. I always focus first and foremost on being able to take Turns 3 and 4 full out. I only let off the throttle on Turns 1 and 2. And I like a setup that lets me roll through them. I barely ever use brakes. I sometimes set a touch of drag brake using my tx trim. But no heavy braking into 1. Just let it roll in, power out.

 

[Lessen]

Hey, whatever works. Your setup offer good lap times but I've always thought it causes some inconsistancy because it's probably more demanding to drive.

 

[Candyman]

I've smoothed out the performance. I've taken some of the steering out which makes it easier to drive. My big problems with that run yesterday were just a few traffic issues. The setup has gotten much smoother and more forgiving. I tried one of those old setups I showed you and I couldn't believe I actually tried to race with those!

 

[Lessen]

Ouch. I just looked at my Tx and I have over 3 Hrs. on the pack. I need a recharge or else I run the risk of using all my juice in practice.

 

[robmob]

Just got a run in.

Car got really loose after the last pit stop and my transmitter hand started to go numb. Got into the wall twice after running a real consistent first 3/4 of the race.

After looking at Jeff's time, it looks like he also had handling issues after his last pit stop.

I have another run in me depending on what the rest of you guys do.

 

[NCNitro]

I guess I didn't do too bad for my first race. After my first pit stop though the video got real choppy and messed me all up, thought I was gonna have a seizure, lol. I don't know if I should stick with the run I laid down or try again.

 

[robmob]

That was a good run Joe.

Just remember that your last run is what counts if you make another run. So it you do worse or have a DNF, that is what will count.

 

[Lessen]

I just ran my race. I fiddled around with my setup for a while beforehand but couldn't find anything so I just ended up using an older setup I've had for 95% grip. I'm about to go see how I stack up now.

 

[NCNitro]

Thanks Rob. I think I am just going to stick with my first run.

I tried next weeks track, I can NOT run road courses. I really enjoyed the oval, but I think I am going to be very very very bad on the road courses. :whhooo:

 

[Racer 1966]

Geesh, the online track was way different this week. I put one run in,I'm fairlyplease with it sice I had to really fight the car for 3/4s of the race.

Only one lap Rob, it's tempting......... but you'd still have time to come back and whoop me.

EDIT : BTW JOE, I think your run is super for the time out!

 

[NCNitro]

That was a good run Joe.

Just remember that your last run is what counts if you make another run. So it you do worse or have a DNF, that is what will count.

Actually, what have I got to lose? I am in last place anyway, so I won't finish any worse than where I am already, maybe I should give it another go.

 

[robmob]

You have nothing to loose.

 

[Racer 1966]

my transmitter hand started to go numb.

Have you seen the duration for next week's race Rob?

Damn good run.

I am content unless Randy runs again and beats me.

I know I can add at least 2 more laps, but no way I can add 4.

:whhooo:

It's going to be brutal.

 

[Racer 1966]

I don't think I'll run again. I figured I'd hit 117 from what I was doing in practice, but it was way harder to drive in the race.

 

[NCNitro]

Ok, well it's official, I SUCK! I had a LOT of problems with the AI cars on these two runs, I had no wheres near the issues with them on my first run. I also had bad pulsing/ glitching of the graphics, I don't know what to do about that, maybe it's my graphics card, but that really messes me up. Guess I should have stuck with my first run, oh well, I was last anyway, so I am still last. :\

 

[Racer 1966]

You still did good for the first time Joe.

As for the glitching, I have occasional problems too. I tried lowering all of the graphics levels and it helped some but it still happens once in while. I can't say what to do to fix it,my computer is way over minimum requirements.
