New update coming Oct. 27th, will allow you to set PP, AND shuffle specs too.
 
Is the car selection better with spec 2.0? Last time we tried it there were only 5 cars in the 400-500pp range to choose from.
 
Much better yes

You have written "Im the Juggernaut" so I assumed you had seen the Youtube video where I pulled my quotation paraphase from. Don't you know who I am...I'm the Juggernaut, b!tch

Tonight little Cindy Lou Schumacher and I are gonna make it rain. I'm not sure when or where...could be at any moment. Just look out! Thats all I can say
 
Spec racing in my lobby...as soon as the update installs.
 
I miss racing.
I hate trying to find good public rooms

I think it's that the 450 races are kinda stale; the same cars win every time. I think we need a fundamental change.

Kick Nic....problem solved :)
 
I love my lemons, but right my now, I'm giving up on tuning. I like to find a spec room or shuffle, because the stock cars are a blast too drive, when the field is equal.
 
450 Comfort soft room up in open lobby
 
How about modifying things to a wider format, something along the lines of 450-500 pp, S1-S3, Production Stock only? That leaves hundreds of cars in the mix. Banish the NSX's and whatever other cars we think have an advantage.

I ran in a room like this the other night and it was very competitive with a wide variety of cars.
 
I miss reg. 450s. Open lobby is all racing tire and I suck i them. The worse the compound, the more above average I am. Anyone up for Anything 400-500 PP non racing tire tonight?

450 on CS?
 
Hi guys, no power in most of the Northeast after a freak October Nor'easter. It might be a week before I get power restored.

I'm all for having some "stock" nights. I think we should click that "no tuning" check box and see what cars are quick at 400, 425, 450, and 475. CS and SH tires seem to work best. SS tires provide too much grip for most stock suspensions.
 
I've had an idea that this group my be interested in. Maybe I'll host it one night for anyone who wants to test it out.

I call it Beat the Loser.

There are some games where the winner is always obvious. The old Axis and Allies game was this way. Not only was the winner obvious, but the first few turns were completely scripted. To make things more interesting, people auctioned. They would, sort of like Name that Tune, auction handicaps. I can win with only X. Well, I can win with only X-1.

The idea would be the loser of the previous race picks a car from the recommended garage (no tuning allowed). Everyone else takes the least amount of PP that they think they can win with.

Say the loser starts at 400 PP. Bob takes 390 and Joe takes 380. Bob wins, Joe gets second, and the loser, surprisingly, loses again. Bob gets 10 points. But Joe gets 20. Joe actually gets credit for winning the race.

If the loser from the previous race wins this race, then it is no big to do. One only gets points for beating someone with more performance points.

The idea could use some tweaking.
 
yes dabney, 450 on comfort soft tires. I'd run comforts all the way up to 500pp, but i dont think many would join. :(

How about 4wd on comfort hards?

I was in a 500 pp lobby past night and the MR drivetrain was turned off...everything was closer

Then again my 3400 and 4200R are mr...

Depending on how busy the street is tonight, I should be on to run a lobby if there are several interested parties.

4WD on CH tires...that'd be like me Saturday night.

I decided to go out in the freak October Nor'easter because we already paid for tickets to see the local hockey team play (Manchester Monarchs). Armed with my Mazdaspeed6 still on Pirelli P-zero Nero summer performance tires, things got interesting. The first layer of snow was wet and sloppy and that quickly froze and got covered by dry crystalline snow.

In a straight line I could do about 40 mph, maybe 50 if I pushed it. Brakes didn't work...at all. If I was turning, the car would fish tail at 25 mph with the traction control on. I turned it off so I could get a little drifting action going....but people were going like 15 mph on the roads so that didn't last long.

Needless to say, the snow tires are going on the car ASAP, but I need to get an alignment done. I've got some excessive wear on the insides of the front tires...which means I probably need a camber kit to go with the lowering springs I have installed.
 
I'll be on.

You should see what happens when it snows here.

Oh wait, you can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL_tW-MjsgE

That dude in the Corvette was the star that morning. The helicopter hovered over him for what must have been 20 minutes.

Ha, I love to watch people in RWD cars attempt snow! The 'Vette guy is a real winner.
 
I almost hit a news van in an ice storm once. Worst car to hit, I'm sure.

I was in my Impreza, so there was no excuse. I had been slowly coming down a hill toward an intersection. I had right of way, and it was an easy right hand turn. My all-wheel drive should've pulled me through just fine.

But, I had the car in neutral. :( I gassed and gassed it. :( It did nothing, save slide with in inches of the news van in super slow motion.
 
All through HS and College I drove RWD cars in the snow. Got stuck in a parking lot once...but never had problems on the roads. I used to love fishtailing turns.

That video is more ice than snow though. When you get an ice storm, you need studded tires. All seasons or even winter tires won't provide enough grip to get up any sort of incline. That guy in the Vette might have had better luck if he lowered the air pressure or something.
