Since I've put so many miles in this round, I've experienced the same thing..

I've had 2 identical laptimes in a row, during practise.

Still haven't found the perfect 3 laps, but as for now (with my own settings and a little help here and there) I'm not going to run any more, will submit time asap..

I don't want to dissapoint my team mate, but the pace just isn't there.. still a second behind.

Can't wait to cick some ass on the dirt track!

 

[phattboy]

I'm like you... I've run around so many times that I am doubling up times on the entire race. Not even so sure I might just have created habits that limit me to the pace I'm keeping. Those guys who get up to speed really quickly have an advantage in that department.

Time submitted.

Going on a small spring vacation with my family tomorrow, and won't return till Thursday. I tried to convince my wife, that we needed to bring the PS2, cause I'm in a very important tournament. She rejected and said that we supposed to spent some time together.

I've only positive things to say about women, but sometimes I really don't understand their priorities.

See you next week.

Well it didn't happen to me but I may be running solo because my team mate doesn't have any time to try and get a clean run. This is why I hate rules changes mid race...

When I put the ("fun" ) in that post it was aimed at you as a joke. Lighten up dude! Damn, I sure hope getting older isn't gonna make me grumpy!

On another note, got me an ok race time today, and will be submitting it. Alot of time left to go get, but the motivation is simply not there anymore.

Damn !! ... sorry to hear that cant find time to rerun a sub 4 minute race in the remaining 39hours until deadline

whatever guys ... I guess everytime i post from now on I'll just be making the hole deeper

For those that I have apparently scuppered! .. I apologise! it was not intentional.

If you want to pull out then I will understand.

too bad this round has deteriorated so badly. maybe we'll have some people care to continue in the face of this terrible, horrible, end all be all catastrophy. i know it's been right up there with my getting smashed over the head with a 40oz bottle and a compound fracture of my tibia and fibula fresh out of the hospital having to babysit a 2 month old baby while my wife was the only able to work. but thank god i've been blessed with the strength to continue and finish the round. guess we all are'nt built to deal with this sort of dire, extreme hardship.

 

[phattboy]

Oh Shoot... "sub-4 minutes" and here I thought I was doing so good

Guess I'll have to try again

sorry man. unavoidable

 

[GT3mich]

I'm not bailing out. I will run solo if I have too.

 

[Max E.]

well we were looking to see you and LDM make a strong showing together, ashame he can't put a clean run together between now and monday morning :'(

i just hope that if he has to drop out it's just because he does'nt have time to make a clean run and not that he does'nt want to compete anymore or something like that on account of what's gone on here. all that happened is the admin made an unwise descision that got unfortunately blown completely out of proportion and he's sorry for it. nothing can undo it but i'll guarantee you, LDM, and anybody else possibly feeling this way that nothing like it will happen again.

LDM can submit his unclean time for this race and I will accept it as it was my error in decision that caused his run to be unclean.

... so be sure its only the T2 section that has the 4 on dirt and not bend 1 or final bend 👍

 

[Gt3Emperor]

So....the rules are normal OLR...2 wheels on road etc?

 

[Kelly]

Hey Emperor good to see you over here 👍

Yes 2 wheels on track/dirt is good

Nope !!! Probably safe to say I'm Older than anyone here by quite a margin & gettin' that way hasn't made ME "Grumpy" (Hard of Hearing, Half Blind, full of Aches & Pains...YES: "Grumpy"...NO!!!) ...UB57

So this only applies to him or everyone? What's this section you are talking about? Is it the right curve after T2 ( part of the left-right sequence )? Or the left curve which leads to T2?

As far as I knew this only applied to LDM as he was unlucky enough to overwrite his ghost in the couple of hours that i posted the rule change.

This situation is starting to get tedious now and I'm wondering if we shouldn't just scrap the whole thing???

.... from my originally trying to help out ... and eventually turning into this ongoing debate

I've nearly had my fill

Can someone suggest to me another solution to the problem at hand? ... as now it seems to please one person is to upset another catch 22

 

[GT3mich]

I would be surprised if LDM submitted a run that didn't conform to the rules. If he runs, it will be clean. Its up to him to find the time. Can we move on now....

Ron, I went to try out the rule change you proposed, and I find that the gain from cutting that one curve is minimal. ( About 200 milliseconds ) So its all good with me to allow LDM's run. 👍

Can't wait til the next race so that we can put this week behind us all!

Later.

Edit: After re-reading my post I was afraid that somehow what I said might come out as being sarcastic, but it isn't. Sorry, but sometimes I just don't find the right words, and things come out in a bad way, or in a way that someone can misinterpret
