This week finds my cars in Paris, France. On September 14, 1812 Napoleon entered Moscow in his attempt to conquer Russia. Napoleon’s Grand Armee of over 600,000 in June of 1812 was reduced to fewer than 100,000 by December of 1812 during his retreat. Russia had adopted a scorched earth strategy to deny the French army of supplies. One theory proposed for Napoleon’s defeat is the disintegration of the tin buttons on the French soldiers uniforms. In extreme cold tin turns into a powdery substance and the tin buttons on the uniforms fell off, forcing the French soldiers to have to hold their coats closed with their hands, hampering their ability to fight. “Napoleon’s Buttons” is a great chemistry book about 17 molecules that changed history.
Hey, my name is Travis. I found this league on reddit, trying to find ways out of lobbies where I get punted every race. I have read this post and would like to join.

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join the SNAIL [Spec] 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 progress with your entry into the league:
You start a conversation, by clicking this link, and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, llNovall, Akzl298, JamCar0ne & Dragonwhisky as "Recipients".
The conversation title should be "Request To Join".
SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join SNAIL [Spec] Racing.
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.
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
As an aside, there will be more to get done once you start the conversation and, if you want to race this coming Sunday, you'll need to get it all done by 11:59PM eastern time Saturday night.
