Man you guys ran early on this one.

See ya on Sunday.

 

[Lessen]

Good to have you back Josh.

Thanks Rob. It's good to be back in the mix.

The gauntlet has been thrown down at Oslo - come get me fellas!

That aint poop. You just wait till I'm back to my old form. I've averaged 17.0 here in the past.

Bring it buddy - you've got all week to practice. :

 

[Lessen]

I'm more concerned about the oval. I've never been to run the laptimes you guys are running now.

 

[Racer 1966]

It's easy - go fast - turn left

- and try to stay awake.

 

[Lessen]

I seem to be back to doing consistant 6.9 - 7.2 but I'm even close to the 6.7 that I've seen you guys run. I trying to fine tune it a bit and got it from 7.2/3's down to sub 7 seconds but this is as fast as I've ever really run. Needs more work but it's good enough for mid pack right now and I'm fine with that for the moment. This week should be a bit better than last at RCS.

LOL. Can you imagine if there were like 20 cars on track at once? That would be sweet!

 

[SMaxxin]

I just practiced on speedway at 85% and out of 25 laps only one went under 7 seconds! Running at this grip takes consistency and I don't have it, it's going to be a very bad week for me.

 

[robmob]

Practicing for next week? This week is at 96%.

If you really want a treat, try a few at 70% which is Week 13. It's like driving on ice. You have to go easy on the throttle or you will spin out.

 

[SMaxxin]

I read the schedule wrong, I thought 85% was this week LOL.....It really wouldn't have made a difference, I have used the same set up for every race so far except for my first run on oslo and I plan on going back to old faithfully for my 2/3 runs.

 

[slowngreen]

Crazy Pete.....lol. But yeah, I've ran it on a couple of the lower percentages and just like you said, one maybe even none were in the 7's for me. Thats gonna make it SO much more fun in my opinion cuz it might take out that hauling ass ability that the top guys have.

 

[Lessen]

I am all about the low grip races. They are diffcult but fun..

 

[alien13]

Ran my first oval, started off great, but after about halfway, it felt like my steering trim changed, and it kept pulling to the right. So for the second half of the race, I was fighting to keep the car straight. No luck for me.

 

[robmob]

It was not your steering trim.

Your right side tires wore down. You either need to change them when you pit or compensate with constant steering input.

 

[slowngreen]

I ran oval too and was doing great for a long time but my internet started acting up and got real glitchy for several laps, just enough that you can watch a few laps worth of time build up while you still going around on the same lap lol.

Figured that, I worked fine when I practiced after the race.

 

[Racer 1966]

I think I'll have to change tires this week :\ I can't wait for the lower grip runs,those will be fun :yes:

 

[Lessen]

Damn this MFing adapter. I'mma put about an ounce of solder on this POS.
:madface:

 

[slowngreen]

I just bombed my second Oslo run. Acted like a had horrible radio reception, could my new router mess up the radio frequency?

 

[robmob]

It shouldn't.

Mine is on at all times 2 feet from where I sit to race. My son is online with the XBox 360 which uses the wireless network a lot of the times I am racing.

The only time I have ever experienced what seems to be interference is because I did not have the antenna up enough.
