Using well known saying . . . Stupid game.
Got to the ‘ready’ screen and then ‘exit’ because of a delay of up arrow press. PC can eat my shorts (tonight).

My down dpad button randomly flicks on and off, so now i have to be careful not to exit the room every time I want to go back to the pits. It was worse Thursday ; I had it set as my rear view and I’m flying down Le Mans and suddenly looking the wrong way. I had to keep bringing the in-car menu up so it would stop looking back. But actually using the in-car menu is almost impossible now.

Hope you’re dogs fine mike.

 

[Mike Lobban]

Dogs ok, guys. Whew. He swallowed a tooth and choked on it. Halfway to the vet he hacked it up. The blood was from the socket. He’s fine today. Gave myself a scare and saved a bundle on vet bills. The Uber driver was awesome....... he got a big tip.

That some good news... I do have the results from the last 2 races bad thing is they are at home on the PS4, so i wouldn't be able to get them to you guys till around 5pm EST

 

[Alex ONeill]

I sent the last 2 races to Aero last night. Glad to hear your pooch is doing well Mike!

 

[2pfspiff]

I had a great time the 1st race and a miserable existence in the second and third race. I truly was a giant bag of S@&t. Other then that I had a great time. At least I did not wreck anyone battling for position.

 

[aerolite]

I just need results for race 1 if someone has them.
Mike and I just had a great lunch with Nick, aka Drett. He said to say hi to all you misfits!

Glad to hear that Mike. Coincidence or not, this was on the front page of The Post website today. Maybe helpful if this happens again.

13th was Lobban, he retired to the pits, the wiener.

Glad to hear! I miss racing with Drett.

So I have to admit I was pretty impressed with Mike’s Fagtek wheel and pedals! Tried a variety of cars and tracks to get a feel, from old Lotus to an LMP1. Big difference from my G29. Still not ready to drop $1500 on one though.

Thanks CB, that’s basically what I was doing in the car. It worked, me squeezing and smucking at his chest and throat and with one final hack and it popped out. He’s acting like nothing happened, back to his goofy ways.

It was good to see Aeroslow walking today...with crutches of course, but wow, impressive.

Huh...I had thought new fangle cars for the b group.. and those awesome lotus super 7s for the a group... I almost agreed to trade Alex.. spent most of the qualifying mucking with the gears... handled like crap on cold tires. Mike convinced me that it would be awesome when they warmed up. 2 min. Left in qualifying and I qualified on the pole ( with no lightning bolt, hadn't figured which button yet). Won the 1st race. 2nd race what a battle!...
Gt, racefan, and myself just a big group crossing the finish line.( 4th place for me). Last race 1st place again
Funny, Alex was whining about his car, I was whining about mine. He wound up mr. Awesome, and pretty sure I was mr bawesome

This week was cancelled, because of this guy. No points for anyone. Especially Alex.

Also, isnt this a democracy? dont WE pick the cars? though that wasnt a bad choice from our fearless leaders.

Even his Fagtec couldn't win him a race last night. Although it's hard to tell since someone is dragging there feet posing results...

Gotta give you a hard tim

My God man, could you make it any more complex!

So we're running a night based on the standard open-lobby rooms.
I'll take some camembert with my whine please...

 

[GUTTERBOY3007]

Hopefully I’ll be there Monday night. Setting up the new rig, and I should have it ready to race by Monday night. Then I’ll be out of town for a few weeks and won’t be able to run. Here’s a “sneak peek” of the new rig:

 

[barryf1fan]

You stole a Ferrari monocoque?!?! or ebay?

 

[2pfspiff]

I think he got it on a forfeiture from a drug bust of his neighbor from an undisclosed caller that happens to have the same phone number as the one that is associated from Gutters address.

 

[GUTTERBOY3007]

@spiff: You didn’t really think ALL those drugs and money made it to the evidence room, now did you! Lol.

My latest creation; Ferrari #27. Still need to wrap the rear wing in carbon fiber, sort out a seat or some padding, and move my T300, pedals, button box and telemetry iPad holders to the rig. Once the paint is fully cured I’ll cut it, polish and then wax it. I also need to get some AGIP decals.

Eventually I’m going to build a platform to put it on to raise it up a bit off the floor and add 4 Aura Pro Bass Shakers/Tactile Transducers mounted to the platform.

And if anyone, especially a Canuck, doesn’t know who #27 was in 1981 you’ll be banished to playing Mario Kart with a controller and not allowed to drive a racing sim ever again!

Sorry, double (actually triple accidental) post... fish slap me!

But since I’m stuck with it, any of you guys ever ordered from Jegs Performance? They have some decent seats for a pretty good price. Not sure if I should do an actual seat or just get some cushions since the current “seat” is adjustable for rake. This might work if I go for a seat though: https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/70250/10002/-1

I would try cushions first. That seat from jegs won't give you the F1 seating position.
