Prize A & B are cleared. There's an issue discovered for Prize C. More info when Prize C is final.
Sorry for the oversight. This week was a super rare occurrence where the Prize B and Price C winner came from the same division. @DublDee actually had more adjusted points than @Oshawa-Joe, which means that @DublDee gets Prize C

Niagara's Weekly What I saw Column
20240915 Edition:

@radliffracing & @Mac1032763 - Hope you enjoyed your first race night with us. Welcome to Snail.

Participation was up this past Sunday. The scoresheets show 8 drivers in D1 and another 9 in D2.

Combo #1:
I saw the lower powered Nissan Silvia Q's make for a tighter grid in D1, at least for a little longer than usual.

The car and track combination still made for a few tricky corners. The grass did pull @Xradkins 's Pontiac Grand Prix off the track. (I didn't know that car was in the game)

...and sent him into the wall on the far side of the track.

I believe I got touched up a little on this corner but my fellow D1 drivers did help straighten me out so I can continue without too much of a time loss.

Combo #2:
@A_Higher_Place ended up in a spin as a few cars were approaching him. Thankfully, he ghosted just prior to contact.

I had a pretty long battle with @DublDee and @Kgffy in C2R1. They both passed me on the final lap. I managed to take @Kgffy 's position back briefly but he got a much better exit out of the chicane than I did. So it was all-out drag race to the finish line where @Kgffy edged me out by 0.004 seconds to claim 4th place.

The tunnel sequence on this track required one to be delicate with the car. @DublDee and I took it 2-wide with a slight touch. This did open the door for @Smoove_cuda to make it 3-wide. Although I had a heart attack in this sequence, I caught my car and we were able to continue on with the race.

Combo #3:
A rare appearance by a Gr.2 car. I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, he had some accidents on lap 1 at the esses. Cold tires played a role.

To manage a group shot of this combo, I had to go to turn #1 of the race.

As was previously mentioned in this thread, the battle between @A_Higher_Place and @Worst_Driver in C3R1 represents what I believe Snail is all about. They kept their lines and left space for each other. Plenty of pressure being applied but no overly aggressive maneuvers. These two are likely to remember the journey of the battle they had over several laps much longer than they'll recall who actually finished ahead.

That's how I saw it last Sunday. See you at the Car-Show.
Thanks for your patience.
 
I've got a lobby opened up for practice at Yamigawa for the next hour or so if anyone wants to join. I won't be available for practice on Thursday, got to get it in when I can.

I want to start off by saying I had a blast last Sunday. That was the funnest racing I've had anywhere that I can think of. Big thank you racingchamp30 for teaching me how to host last minute. I like the whole car show idea so here's my set up for this weekend. Y'all might recognize the Bowser face from Mario Bros on the hood of each car. It's not because I'm a villain but because we had a dog by that name and I tend to put that sticker on all my toys. Had a busy week and not much time to practice, but I'll be on later tonight. See ya in the lobby.

Today has been a pretty good day.

My son came out to give me a hand changing the brake pads on my car and stayed to watch the Singapore GP with the 'rents. Just got done dining on pork tenderloin, rice and corn. Only drip in this otherwise bright day is, didn't get my pre-race nap in. Gonna' blame the son on that one. If he hadn't been here for that snoozer of a GP, I'd got that nap in for sure. Got the G29 swapped into position for tonight.

Warmup room will be open at or a little before the usual time.

That’s awesome! Nothing better than spending time with family.
I can’t believe how boring that F1 race was today, and no VSC or SC. Pretty unusual for Singapore
