Sweet. I guess that begs the question related to the wone I just asked @JLBowler. Since there's no prizes etc., I assume these combos will be scheduled for next week. That being the case, we should pick three other combos.

Why? Let's just make it another practice night like Thursday. People that needed extra time with these combos just got a second chance to work at it. Come back strong next week
 
GT6 back online not sure what they broke but I'm sure it will be fished out in the days to come :)

At least the Rangers made a game of this one. Pitching was their weakness. Bush was extremely impressive.
"Maybe next year".
Hope your team does well.

Did you miss your racing fix last night? Weren't too confident with those high PP combos? You're in luck! Tonight you will get a chance to "try again" for poops and giggles. No worries about points or prizes being won, just have fun. Essentially this is an extra Thursday Practice for next week. I will open a room around 9pm EST and everyone is allowed to join. Come on down and have some fun. Monday is the new Thursday!

Hey, you're that guy that voices those tv ads aren't you...
 
I got my racing fix yesterday. I took a trip out west, to the lovely city of Buffalo, or more specifically, Orchard Park at Ralph Wilson, er New Era Stadium for my final autocross event of the year. The WNY-SCCA holds an annual Champagne Run, where the class winners get a bottle of champagne. The also have a special car class, the rental car. This year's rental was the 'Manager's Special", a Nissan Versa. It was terrible :)

I had a special guest as well. My son took part in his first autocross. He got his license in July and I figured 3 months was enough time to autocross :) He did really well for his first time driving hard. WNY-SCCA scores their event as a "2-day", in which they take your best morning time and add it to your best afternoon time. Mike got faster on each run, but got a cone on each of his best morning and afternoon runs. They were still his fastest times, even with the 2 second penalty. He finished 19th out of 26 in the Novice class, but would have been 8th if not for those 2 cones.

Somehow, I had a really good run the first time out and had a .380 lead going into the afternoon. Then on my 2nd afternoon run, I found some more speed and won Street by .430. So I won by bottle of Champagne and also reinforced my season dominance to win the Street season crown as well. Now I get to move up to Pro next year. Complete results.

Here is a video of my son's runs. To show how much he improved, he went from 52.195 on his first run, to 42.993 on his last. My best was 39.689.




My best runs of the day.

Nice job Coach. What a great way to end the season. I'm sure your success in Autox pays huge dividends in the Chumpcar races. Congratulations on a summer of family filled racing. So cool you're now getting your boy involved too. I think the family element of Krueger Tuned Racing is what I'm most impressed with. You guys are making great memories doing something you love. :cheers:

Damn, getting 10 seconds off your time is impressive. Guess the fast genes run in the family, eh?

Congratulations on your win, Mark. Really really happy for you. Bet that champagne is going to taste mighty sweet.

Cheers!
 
That was a lot of fun last night. I got disconnected at the end there and we all got booted. No idea why as it was solid all night. Glad a decent amount showed up
 
Nope. I know that would have booted everyone as soon as I went. Instead people were getting disconnected before me and then I got the big boot. Disconnected from the room and the server all together.

I'm just glad it worked and people showed up. We had 11 at one point but it was mostly 8-10 the rest of the night. Not too bad for a Monday.

Mid-Field Combo is a hell of a lot of fun. Just saying. That track is one of the best out there.
