I have read the first post and would like to join, found out about this league through reddit.
@beefbacon

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, SAMHAIN85, llNovall & Akzl298
as participants.

The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.
4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

I would suggest sending a friend request to all active D1 and D2 drivers, check the score sheets to see who has raced recently.

Interesting you could see racingchamp, but not his lobby. Hmmm.
Not sure if he could "see" racingchamp in game or if he just knew he had opened the lobby based on his post here.

While it could be helpful to have other drivers in your division as "friends," it is not necessary as all rooms should be set to public and can be easily located by searching for the first track of the night.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth '87 (SM) at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta - S05 Afternoon (9 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Louis3986 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 - Daihatsu Copen RJ VGT (SM) at Autopolis - Full Course - S01 Afternoon (7 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Malizaghi 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 @Chiochansan 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/or 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 must not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in a 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.

Right. I was/am just too lazy to do all that typing. lol

This week's prize winners are clear to make their selections. Good racing!

We have no incidents on file.

@Louis3986 @Malizaghi @Chiochansan will be included in a conversation that will contain instructions and deadlines.

For this week only, cars from the UCD are not eligible for selection. We will be tweaking the eligibility rules and they will be available for selection again shortly.
 
I will freeze the Daihatsu.
With that selection, we have a repeat prize winner this week.

If you raced in D2, you get to make one suggestion for a track to go with the Daihatsu. You must post your suggestion in this thread and you may not edit your post to change your selection. If you don't select time of day, you get default. Deadline to make a suggestion will be 3PM ET on Wednesday. At that time, @Chiochansan is clear to make his choice from the suggestions.

How are the Mid Div lap times figured?
They are an estimate. If someone in D1 is doing the choosing, they usually add a couple of seconds. If it's someone in D2, usually what they are running works. The main purpose for it is to set the number of race laps. If the time given is way off, it can be changed to get the race to the correct length.
