Well that was a hoot tonight guys, so glad to be back on track with all of you again, and I missed those of you who couldn’t make it!
Glad Mike came up with a plan that could get me out there on a controller that would make it fun for me, and you guys as well. It was hard not to say anything all week, but we thought the surprise twist would just add to the night.
At the very least I will join the room each week, now that I have the PS4 in the house, if only just to shoot the crap and hop from car to car doing some commentary. At this point I’d be too much of a road block trying to race with the controller, but we shall see.

And again, my condolences Sgeti, Denise and I will be thinking of you.

Well that must have been a great surprise. Glad to hear you were there with the guys Aero. Sorry I couldn't be there with you guys. Would've been great to hear your voice. Cheers.
 
Since the subject of Katherine Legge came up, I had to pull up a pic. Wheras Danica is your chiseled supermodel, KL is your girl-next -door racing driver. I'll take the latter....

Sorry I had to cut my night short. Wife was studying next door and all the laughter was not working for her... buhhhh

It sure was working for me!! Had a blast while it lasted!! Thanks for the fun boys. I do appreciate nights like this every once in a while. That Bentley was like a great white swimming from the bottom, would bite you out of nowhere!!

Steve, great to have you back!!

Sgeti, my condolences my friend.

One big friendly hug to Sgeti.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

About last night, I don't remember such a violent first lap like last night. It's not the snail way but I'm sure it will be much better next time.

Condolences to @SGETI

Schmiggz, last night was a special night of chaos and mayhem. Not the usual way of doing things. The goal for last night was met. Look at my post above. "Serious racing" will return next week. Usual Shenanigans happens on the sidelines and from the mouths of the drivers, not their cars.

Oh. Was wondering if the intension was a wreckfest type event. Sure was funny to watch.
 
Condolences @SGETI. :( And very sorry I missed last night, work is brutal during the holiday season. :ouch: Sounded and looked like a lot of fun!! Glad @aerolite has some sort of jimmy-rig going on!

Katherine is awesome, got to meet her at Laguna Seca earlier this year. Super sweet, and super fast!! :eek:👍 Here's one of my favorite lady-racers. Shea Holbrook. She's been moving up the ranks from touring cars to Super Trofeo Lambos. And c'mon, her main sponsor is Bubba Burgers!

Thanks for posting that Red, Denise sat with me this afternoon and watched most of those and got a good laugh. I tried to give her a running commentary and blamed most of the crudeness on Gutter and Lobban!

And Schmiggz, I did ask you if you understood what was happening last night and you said yes. Every once in awhile we will have some sort of hooligan night just to mix it up. Like Red said, the racing is usually clean and fair, but you best have a thick skin and not be easily offended. The nutty banter and warped humour is what sets us apart.

I had some good news from my follow up appointment this morning with the surgeon. The X-rays showed all is healing well this time, and that after another week I can start putting as much weight as I can tolerate on the leg. That also means I can start getting back to some more serious exercising so I can get back to rehab asap. And of course, try getting in my rig again soon.

I watched a really good and inspiring documentary this afternoon that was just released this month. Any of you that follow F1 have most likely heard of Billy Monger. It's called "Driven: The Billy Monger Story". Watching him go through his recovery hit home pretty good.

That's awesome news Aero. Cheers.
 
If anyone needs a new wheel, B&H are starting to have their Christmas sales. It’ll really ramp up in the next couple of weeks. They usually have great deals on Thrustmaster sim gear.

Wish I had seen this before. Just ordered a Fanatec CSL Elite for PS4 (Starter Kit) bundle about a one or so hours ago. Awaiting confirmation from them that they've received card payment before shipping.
Might have considered this being much cheaper with the discount.
My G29 wheel gave up last Saturday (started jumping to Quick Menu and Share screens erratically like the one before).

Oh damn! My bad then...
In this case I'm totally looking for the next "serious racing night" and hopefully next time there's a mayhem night I'm correctly informed to be the worst on track :lol:

Info: I'm finally equipping myself with Fanatec gear so all my stuff will be for sale if anyone's interested.
 
I guess some of us are just luckier than others. I have what I consider one of the best wives a guy could have. Will be 30 years married on April 7th. And I never forget our anniversary as that is also the date of Jim Clark’s death.

Have fun tonight.
Just catching up on the posts, gotta quit relying on email for this.
I count myself in as one of the luckier ones, 42 years for us. Mama bear watches me race for 1/2 hr every night while she sits in the massage chair. Camel has made some face tube videos of wed league racing( condensed, and comments inserted) mama bear enjoys watching those with me on the big screen.
Oh and I committed our anniversary date to memory by forgetting it...ONCE!!!...
No really, it's the day after my brothers, so we remind each other.

I got my 'S' driver rating last night. I feel my life has changed drastically.

Janice has her moments, but we are very good together. She is actually very knowledgable about cars and is pretty mechanically inclined - she knows more about muscle cars and I know more about the European stuff. She watches and enjoys F1 with me and she actually used to roundy-round race too.
She's pretty good about giving me my space, but we also do so much together because we share the same interests. And what we don't share we're good at putting up with.

So, @Mike Lobban, it's Thursday. What will it be - tick tock....Ferrari GTOs at twenty paces?

C7's are dope. Wish they had 63 split windows and 70 split bumpers camaros available for pc2. If rednose is correct about the track being fuji this should be a fun combo regardless of class.

As of now I don’t want to dedicate my self to a league but i would love to fill in if needed and run some fun nights with you guys from time to time. So when you guys are running and Have an open spot please message me. I hope all is well and I’m looking forward to racing with u guys again
