Prize A announcement!!

It’s 11:30 on this fine weather day and a battle for 350,000cr.
In the red corner weighing in at 1213lbs known to have 246hp with a shoe size of sport mediums.
(Mexican tongue roll)
Red Bull X2014 junior

Be very careful. This car is a lot of fun to drive and is also on a fine line of out of control. With high downforce and on sport mediums this will test our abilities.

You're mama's singin' with the angels
(Let her go, let her go)
Ya got no need to feel so guilty
(Let her go, let her go)

Yes, everyone comes and goes
White in the head before you know
Set things right before you go
Let the people you love know

You wake up feeling she's still with you
(Let her go, let her go)
But all you see's an empty room
(Let her go, let her go)

Yes, everyone comes and goes
White in the head before you know
Set things right before you go
Let the people you love know

You pressed your face against her headstone
Offered up a prayer for others like her
The trees were bare when mama left us
Now there's fruit in bloom
On Sunday morning when the church bells ring
And the laundry's flappin' in the southern breeze
The choir's howlin' and your mama sings...

Don't take it so hard
Don't take it so bad
Think of the good times
That we had

And now you follow in her footsteps
Walk the same steps that she walked in
Begged of gods both low and mighty
That she might return
You offer up the words
But they just burn your tongue

Yes, everyone comes and goes
White in the head before you know
Set things right before you go
Let the people you love know

Yes, everyone comes and goes
White in the head before you know
Make amends before it gets worse
If the heartache don't get you first
If the heartache don't get you first
If the heartache don't get you first
If the heartache don't get you first
If the heartache don't get you first

I used to show up to official practice every week. Then it was moved to Thursday. It's even worse in the summer as it's still light outside when practice is over. Too many things to do outside.

His first version of the post did not specify a reverse direction or a specific layout. The only clue to which layout was being selected was the distance that he gave for the track which matched the distance of the East configuration. Editing the post for clarification of a prize selection is acceptable so the designation of East as the layout is fine as it changes nothing because the length of the track was already given. When a track is selected and the reverse designation is not specified, the forward version is assumed by default. Editing the post to change from forward to reverse is, in effect, changing the track selection and is not allowed once it's posted.

Based on this information and series of events, the official Prize A selection is the original selection that was posted:

Red Bull x2014 Junior
Autodrome Lago Maggiore East
11:30 fine weather

Edit: The original post to announce Prize A has been returned to it's original, pre-edit, version.

May 2018 Season - League Night #2​


1. TOYOTA SUPRA RZ 1997 on SM Tires @ Suzuka Circuit - 18:45 Clear - (4 Laps)
2. GRAN TURISMO RED BULL X2014 Jr. on SM Tires @ Autodrome Lago Maggiore - East - 11:30 Fine Weather - (8 Laps)
3. ALFA ROMEO 4C GR.4 on SS Tires @ Dragon Trail - Gardens - 08:00 Fine Weather - (6 Laps)

Detail settings here

For those who may wonder about the tire choice of the Red Bull junior....

Tire choices are fixed for the N... Road Cars and Gr.1 - Gr.4 and Gr.B. For the Gr.X cars we use a formula base on power and weight plus a factor and try to balance it out with the majority of the N and Gr cars. This week the Red Bull Junior has a higher Performance Factor than the Alfa Romeo, but the tire choice is one step down. It turns out that it was so close to the transition point that if the Red Bull had 1 more horse or were 3 pounds lighter, the performance factor would have given it the SS tires and then it would have been Round 3.

Enjoy this weeks Combos. It looks like voting is going to be all over the map.

This lists it in the east 2

I was very careful and spent a long time typing that whole deal out making sure I made no mistakes. It’s suppose to be east 2 not east. If it’s east 1 the combo won’t be fun.

I don’t know how I made that mistake.

That does not state East 2 or East reverse. It reads as part of you stylized announcement. You were not clear about the reverse layout so the default forward layout is assumed when the person making the selection is not clear.

Aside from that, when you summarized your selection, you did not mention the reverse layout.

You didn't select East 2 or II or reverse. Your original post states what is quoted above. I snipped out the introduction and got to the summary. You also didn't state that it was the east layout but you did give the length of the track in your introduction so that part was specific and obvious. You left that post the way it was for four hours.

If you get to select again, I would suggest that when you summarize your pick, you include all the information as is suggested in the results post.

Thanks JL for keeping the rules and being strict with it. I made the mistake this time and I won’t make it again. Haha. I guess I’ll learn the hard way. Lol. I was pissed at first but it’s my mistake. On to bigger and better things my wife and I just had our first sonogram and last year we had a miscarriage but this year our baby is looking healthy. Lil neutty will be here on December 11th.

Thanks for understanding and, more importantly, congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family. I have one daughter. She is 17 and will be graduating from high school in a month. Enjoy the ride, it goes fast.
 
Has anyone ever had an idea for a race that they would want to run?
How about a series that you have an idea for but just don't know where to test it?

Check out the new Friday Night Racing thread.

This is meant to be a place where SNAILs can create events and / or test a potential series. Take a look and if anyone has any questions, direct them to me and I'll get you an answer ASAP.
