I haven't touched VRC since Weds.

 

[NCNitro]

I have but I probably shouldn't have, lol. I'm gonna get my batteries all charged up today for my blistering run tonight. I upgraded my car with a lawnmower blade, since I spend so much time in the grass figured I would help keep the track groomed, lol.

 

[Lessen]

maybe you could rig up a line painter on that rig as well..

 

[NCNitro]

The lines would look like a bowl a spaghetti

lmaotg!

I love this racetrack. It just seems to have such a nice flow to it. I don't know how well I fair as far as times go but I'm comfortable after only one 10 minute test.

 

[Lessen]

Welp... I got my QLap down. I totally blew the first turn waaay wide but managed to keep the rest of my lap within my line. Not a bad lap but I've ran that laptime with 3% less grip in practice.

 

[NCNitro]

I was just trying to see if I could improve any, I managed to pull off a 21.5 with the dog engine. Maybe with a little more tweaking before tonight I won't completely embarass myself, lol.

I do like this track better than cinci though.

----edit---

I stand corrected, after seeing Josh's qual lap time, I will still embarass myself tonight.

 

[Racer 1966]

So will I if he can consistantly run that! My best lap is 19.2 one time,a few 19.4's but no where near consistant in the 19's.

 

[Lessen]

Well, the Quals grip was 3% higher than the race grip is so you won't see many 18 second laps from me. I can run consistant 19's in zero traffic but I didn't practice with any cars.

 

[robmob]

LMAO

I took the last corner heading up towards the start finish line a little tight and nicked the barrier which sent me shooting across the track over the wall. Awesome qualifying first lap!

 

[Lessen]

The site isn't showing your time Rob.

 

[robmob]

??? It is showing that I am finished on my end.

Don't know what's up.

 

[NCNitro]

I just checked too. Shows three entries, but only shows info for Jeff and Josh.

 

[robmob]

Scratch that...I do know what happened. I hit esc after the 2nd completed lap without thinking since I saw you only ran 2 laps. I didn't realize you just let the time run out. It should show me as a DNF though.

My bad. It will not happen again for the quals.

The first lap was in the 30's though.

 

[NCNitro]

Still not showing you Rob. Did you make one of your runs in the race yet? The race is showing as two entered, but only has results for Jeff.

 

[robmob]

Haven't run the actual race yet. More than likely somebody is in the middle of racing which is why it is showing 2 entered..

 

[NCNitro]

Well that was terrible! I just could not stay away from the AI cars, one actually ran me over from behind.

 

[Racer 1966]

Joe, for your first road race, that ain't bad bro! You'll be up to speed soon, I know you will!

Now if Josh will just stay off-line the rest of tonight.................

EDIT: Joe, if I'm see'n right your last run was a DNF, GO MAKE ANOTHER RUN! The last run is what counts!

 

[robmob]

Yikes.

What can go wrong did go wrong.

In practice I was easily making it to my 6 minute fuel stops. In my first attempt tonight, I could not. I was clearly driving harder with the AI's and ran out of fuel just as it told me to refuel. Not acceptable so I dumped the run.

In my second attempt after adjusting my fuel stop to 5.5 minutes, my Lipo batt dumped at the 10 minute mark. I have a 3PKS and if you don't know this, it will beep constantly and flash when the voltage gets low. I was having a great run and just ignored the whole thing and hoped my Lipo didn't go poof before the end of my run. I lucked out.

Great job on your first run Joe. Run again since your 2nd is a DNF.
