I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.
Me 2 we tested it last night for a arl series and it works really well. Unfortunately with all the data that needs to be collected it doesnt look like it would be good for snail or arl gr.3 series. But I will say it was really nice to practice for 5 mins, quali. And jump straight into the race from a host stand point
 
Is there a way after the race to find out everyone's qualifying time or does it just sort the grid and get started right away and the end results are the same as they've been?
 
July Standings updated

Time Trials Rd. 15


I've already mentioned this to you a few of you, but the July season will be my last season in SNAIL and simracing for quite a while. I'm not necessarily quitting, I just dont know when I'll be returning. I've dedicated a lot of my time to SNAIL and this hobby of mine for quite awhile now, and have decided to focus on other things for now at this stage in my life. Thats not to say others dont put in the same amount of time, if not more to this. Which is what makes SNAIL so great and why its so successful - the countless amount of hours that go into it week in and week out from the board and stewards to league night volunteers and practice hosts. SNAIL will always be hands down the greatest simracing organization/league on the planet in my book. All thanks to everyone here in 2019, and all of the past contributors that have since moved on.

With that said, I cant be relied on to continue my responsibilities here. Standings, Time Trials (working with @JamCar0ne), Thursday Prac host are all up for grabs. PM me if you are interested in taking on any of these duties and I'll help you get setup if you have any questions.

However, I will keep the 2019 Total Points sheet updated since I have offered prizes for the winner(s), and will keep my word on that.

I also had every intention on running the 2nd annual SNAIL FF League, but I wont be available to commish again this season. With preseason right around the corner its a good time to start setting it up.








Prize A:


As a thanks for the 3+ years here its only fitting I let SNAIL decide. Lets get a nomination/voting process started using all divisions.

D4 Drivers (anyone on the D4 drivers list): @Phlano099 @TTTtothetop @Nick Cannella @gulfvet67 @Drifter1171 @JamCar0ne @Skills @diehard racer @VetteVillain @Tex_Scribble @JLBowler @TexasJDC @Robudda @Jacob Falcon @BooBooNite @Diggypow @itsNova366

You may suggest 1 track. Specify time of day, otherwise it will be set to default.
Post your suggestion before 3PM EST tomorrow (Wed 7/31)

D3 drivers pay attention to the thread around 3PM EST tomorrow. You will all have the opportunity to vote from the track suggestions. @Fudman420 @GTP_Guido @NASCARNATE91 @stelephant @TomMang_68 @USERID_77a23 @Raw10_2u @IDreamInGT3 @racingchamp30 @WildOne1976 @o8_jedi @CrespoJr83 @Rogue Clone @MajorBlixem @Bud__Greene @Notorious 22 @Alexrider007 @Turdburgerlar @Akzl298 @ae86kurt

After a track is decided, the same process will be used to decide the car using D1 and D2 drivers.

The combo will be finalized before Thursday official practice begins.


Amigo, te deseo lo mejor en tus proyectos, espero que volver a correr contigo, muchas gracias por tu apoyo y consejos, te vamos a extrañar....

@SAMHAIN85

Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) 1990
24,800 N200 SH 2:12 mid division lap time

Here’s a car apparently never done before: Lamborghini Diablo GT 2000


@Rednose58 is out of the office so I will take care of getting the combo sheet generated once the votes are in. I will also take care of hosting official practice tonight one final time (someone else should be ready to open a 2nd lobby if we need it)
 
Voting for the RX-7, would be cool to have that last race with Chris in one of the cars I started with in SNAIL.

Spending a couple more days at Virginia Beach (I let the guys in the D1 party know, apologies for not posting here) so I won't be able to make the practice night but I should be home by Saturday.

Note: Round 3 combo info is incomplete. I will fix it once I figure out what default time of day is and mid div lap times.
Official practice lobby open in 10mins

We ran the beetle there on Jan 21, 2018. The lap time was 1:40 for 7 laps

Interesting outcome. This combo was selected by voting by all of snail and we got a repeat combo - something that rarely happens. Just shows, when you design by committee....

Thanks again for the kind words guys. Its humbling to know I've made an impact here. I never imagined I'd be so involved with this when I first joined. I consider you all my friends, almost family (well, a very dysfunctional family :cheers:) and if when I decide to come back to simracing, you know I'll be here.


I leave behind a few feathers in my cap:

#1 Pole Positions (130)

#1 Night Wins (51)

#1 Season Wins (17 once July Season Data is archived)

I look forward to seeing these records broken. @socalnatv and @Nicktune are within striking distance already.

My job here is done for now. Time to ween myself out of the habit of checking GTP 100 times a day. But I'll keep you guys updated and will check back here periodically. Dont forget SNAIL'S 2019 MVP (most points scored) will be winning a $50 Amazon card. Get after it!

Have fun guys
