@socalnatv and @Alexrider007 you both need to reply in the conversation for prize winners. I reused the same one from last week as the prize winners were the same three guys. You both need to reply in that conversation before 10 AM ET on Wednesday. This week is jam packed with suggestions and voting and we need to have everyone paying attention and taking care of business in a timely fashion.

You don't have that option. If you choose to use the freeze, your division gets to vote to freeze the car or the track. This was explained in the conversation. You now need to clarify if you would like to use the freeze or keep prize B, which is choosing the replacement element after the freeze has been used. You have about 15 minutes to do this. If you don't reply within the 15 minutes, it will be assumed that you are choosing the freeze and voting from D3 will begin.

If you raced in D3 this week, you need to vote to freeze the Audi R18 Prototype or Tokyo 246 Reverse. You get one vote and it must be cast by posting in this thread. You must post your own vote from your account. Voting will close at 11 PM ET tonight or when a majority is reached. A tie will be broken by the first vote cast.

Once upon a time I was. I used to have a Logitech G25 and I know I'd piss off my neighbors cranking that thing late at night. Live For Speed and GTR2 were my favorites. And I joined iRacing when it first launched back when you needed an invite code. GT and Forza 1&2 I've only used a pad for.
What are some of your guys favorite racing games from years past? The first one I remember playing was this gem as a kid in the early 90s when arcades were still popular

I had that game on the NES and spent quite a lot of time with it. It got to a point where neither I nor the computer controlled trucks would ever lift and were spraying nitro for the entire last couple of laps of every race.

If I could have the quarters back from this game, I'd be able to fund my own real life race team. The local 7-11 had it and I'd spend hours there. I even had a bike stolen while I was playing, and my bike was leaning against a window just to the left of the game.
My parents were not video game fans and wouldn't let me have a console, but my awesome best buddy (R.I.P.) would let me borrow his NES for weekends. Super Off Road got the most play, followed by Excitebike - I loved that one! The other game I spent a ton of time on was Skate or Die. Once I turned 13ish, I got a real taste for girls, so video games took a back seat for many years. Got married, bought a house and PS2. GT3 was the latest and greatest, so that's kinda where I picked up again.

Oh man I forgot about those! And I definitely remember the days of walking into the local 7-11 and there being 3 arcade games lined up near the door. I dont know the name of it, but that cowboys and indians (errr, its 2017, I mean natives) game where you had shootouts in 3rd person and controlled the crosshair with the joystick. Those were a blast. Part of me feels bad for kids now, arcades for the most part are gone. No more playing your friends for quarters or punching in your initials for a high score.

Places like these are starting to pop up, at least around me. Talk about a stroll down memory lane! Not cheap but if you go on someone else's dime (aka a kids party) the "adults" get to play for free as well!

Ahh yes, PP at the local 7-11, I remember it well. My first taste of Suzuka. In the early nineties there was a pretty neat Formula 1 game, and also an Autocross game that seemed very accurate - more like a sim than a game physics wise, but had very basic graphics - like 'asteroids' style line drawings. I was just thinking about it the other day.
Didn't really do many arcades after 1990, but enjoyed several combat flight sims (and DOOM of course and later Quake) on my PC. Red Baron 3D was very good, as were Jane's WWII Fighters and USAF. EF2000 was really awesome - while it had slightly more basic graphis than the others it seemed much more realistic. Unfortunately when they finally made the sequel it was very boring and unplayable because you had to jump through hoops to fly. I drifted away from the games/sims due to lack of time and the fact that nobody was making any. Then I heard about GT5 and GT Academy which is what brought me back to it all.
@nmcp1 - neat. Also there's a chain called 'Dave and Busters' that has a huge arcade and a restaurant - a real one that serves beer. Great place for adults - there's aone in Denver.

Pole Position was my first racing game i played in the arcades. On the console was the NES system and it was excite bike. I turned to GT series on the Sony Playstation and been hooked to GT ever since.

Voting was 3-2 to freeze the Audi R18 Prototype. If you raced in D2, you now get to make a suggestion for the track. The deadline for suggestions will be noon ET on Thursday. I will not be available to post the suggestions so either @zer05ive @CoachMK21 @nmcp1 or one of the other BoD members will need to take care of that. Once the suggestion window closes, @socalnatv will be free to choose from the suggestions.
