I can't always make Thursday practices. They haven't been a great experience when I do. However, I race with Xrad, Gouletzky, msgt-sd, Hydromatos, and R-rated quite often during the week. I know it's not an "organized" practice, but it is practice. Sometimes we have a pretty good mix of all divisions. Another positive, is how clean it is compared to Thursday practices. Just my "mandatory practice" take.

I agree with FloptaStr8. I work Monday-Friday 4pm-12, and with a family, just have enough time to do the Sunday races. On that note, I do get some practice in during the week, and I to have found them unofficial practices to be more productive than the few Thursday practices I have attended. Just a thought, maybe an extra room or two for practice nights.
Red/Blue/Green/Yellow rooms
D1/2. D3/4. D5/6. D7/8.
This would allow practices to be more in line with the parity achieved on Sundays. Just my thoughts on it.

Nail, it is a real shame you were having connection issues, this is your series and you had to miss it. It was so much fun tonight!

I raced the following series on Saturday... WGTC....two hours... WRS a one hour raceand SNAIL ENDURO two hours....not a hint of a dc...while others occasionally did.
What the h is going on. Is it that I am allergic to someone in the room who has a bad connection. I was really POd to miss last night.

I spent the time trying the Rocket at the ring. Almost made it...was 2d three times against various AIs. Then I broke out my favorite "giant killer" the NUR version of the Skyline and beat the baestards . Very satisfying.

As we are coming up on the quieter part of the week on this forum, I thought I would share 4 pics from last night's SNAIL PACK RACING Monday Night Miata's at Apricot Hill. Maybe entice some of you to try it out! You'll have a huge grin on the whole time!
I hope it's ok to post these here!



@Mike Lobban @TEX36 @APIOQM into turn 10 three wide. The pack is never further apart than what you see in this pic.

Last lap crossing the line after 20 minutes of racing. @TEX36, @aerolite, @Mike Lobban, @APIOQM @racingchamp30
I beat lobban by .031 sec!

Where else can a D7 guy hold off two D6, two D1 and one D2 driver for four laps! (and the D8 guy coming into the pic)
@aerolite, @joe_diben, @nobbymcnobberson, @Kgffy, @APIOQM, @Hydromatos22, @mike_lobban

After 12 laps in the touring car @Kgffy takes @joe_diben by a fraction of a sec!

Monday night miata's is a great place to get some experience going wheel to wheel with multiple drivers. I probably learn more in one night of racing than I do in an entire month of SNAIL Sundays.

[Mike Lobban]

any body who wants to practice during the day i usually have a room open after lunch for an hour or 2 and practice the combos when they are announced

Hey Birdy, i might look for you. Around noon is a good time for me.

For Prize A I choose the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 @ Cape Ring - Periphery

Dealer Specs: 500pp/443hp
After Oil Change: 507pp/465hp
Tires: Sports Soft
Price: 220,000 Cr.

Mid Div Lap: My average was 1:41-42 in my first go around.

Thanks to @Vegasracer and @IceManFan_7 for testing with me!

They complained when I chose that track too.
But, I love it! It makes me feel like a Duke of Hazard, yeee haa

 

[IceManFan_7]

Scores and votes are entered in the Directors Doc for D5. Congrats to @IceManFan_7 for your overall win again.

Thanks!

 

[IceManFan_7]

Sorry guys. Didn't know I won the prize until I got a PM. I'm so glad that @fzappa chose to freeze the car and not the track. Finally, we can get a track that allows some passing! So, I bring you a deceptively simple track with at least 3 genuine passing opportunities.

For my selection, I choose the Red Bull Ring.

Love it or hate it, get your "wings" out boys and girls, 'cause that's where we're racin'! Let the verbal vitriol commence, or do your talking on the track.

Cape Ring Periphery.

A little confused. The pictures (which are great) of a practice season show the cars going in the opposite direction than what the course states. I was unable to find a reverse for this course. I show we will be racing in a clockwise manner. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Those pics, I think, are when we ran that car at a different Cape Ring variant.
