The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - TOYOTA 86 GR.4 (RH) at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit - 20:00 Clear (10 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @JLBowler wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH 25TH ANNIVERSARY 1988 (SS) at Nürburgring GP - 12:00 Fine Weather (7 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @SAMHAIN85 gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets to decide what car or track replaces the part of the combo that is left unfrozen by the Prize C winner.

Prize C goes to @Rob Brown so he gets whichever option the Prize B winner does not select.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your prize selection until all incident reports have been filed and it has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated, so picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select should not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in the draft).

IMPORTANT: When posting your Prize A or Prize B selection, please list the complete in-game name of the car and/or track you are selecting. For example, if you want to choose the Integra Type R as your car selection, post "Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98". If you want to select Monza for your track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". Being specific helps us to update the lineup accurately and also helps avoid any confusion among the drivers. Also, please be sure to list the HP and Weight (LBS) of any car you select. For track selections, include the time of day (e.g: 09:00 Clear) or else it will be left to default.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines

Prize A this week is in honor of something I've actually done in real life.

We will be racing the Viper SRT10 Coupe '06 @ WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
It's an N500 car so sport soft will be the tire.
Time of day will be 17:00 Clear.
508 HP
3450 lbs.
I was able to run a few laps in the low 1:36's so mid division is probably 1:35.

For the real life story. When I worked for Bridgestone / Firestone, in what seems like another life, I was given the opportunity to attend a track day for dealers in advance of the Indy Car race (weekend before). Dodge was a co-sponsor of the event so we were using their vehicles, everything from a Neon to Ram trucks to the Viper Coupe with the V10. We all got to go for a ride along in the Viper early in the day to see the track. Next up was some skid pad and dirt work with the Ram. After lunch, we all got to take the Neon around the track with a passenger. All of this was done with different tires fitted to the cars so we could really feel the difference in sizes and models of tires. Toward the end of the day, the staff started pulling all the Vipers back out. The instructors that were running the whole thing made an announcement that a small group had been chosen to take the Viper on a semi-hot lap. They had based it on the applications we had to fill out before the event as there were questions about any racing experience that we may have had. As soon as they said this, I had a really good feeling that my application was going to get chosen and I was correct. I received a 45 minute session on the track in the Viper with the instructor in the passenger seat. We started out slow to get a feel for the car and the track and gradually built up pace. It is a completely different experience to be in a real car on a real track with real dirt and walls and real damage that can be done. This was even different than all the dirt track racing I have done in my life. This was not my car and it wasn't going to get fixed with a hammer, a cutting torch, and some extra sheet metal. I never did get anywhere near 100% but I was the only one of the 8 guys that were chosen to get under a 2 minute lap and my best was 1:56.

Anyway, that is the story of how I got to take a Viper around Laguna Seca and how it impacted the prize selection. Sorry to ramble on. Hopefully someone else got a grin from it.
