Back on tarmac ( even though wet ) :trouble:

phattboy · Mar 30, 2004

I know I'm supposed to be "...listening to hear a pin drop." but I can't stand it any longer...

I was kinda hoping you "Tarmac Boys" (MaxE, ZerOH, T13R... where are you?) would set some kind of pace for me here by now :confused:

I am admittedly somewhat of a phatt "duck out of water" at this track but I did do some auditioning of cars here last night. It's amazing how sometimes there is that one car that "right out of the box" is so much phaster than the rest!!! I'm "waddling" around the track getting T1/T2 times in the 28.xxx/53.xxx in the various cars...

Come time for the phord Escort, I thought about it :rolleyes:

(...just for a second anyway...) NAAAAH!!! :lol:

Next car... "BOOM"!!! I'm a phattduck in Nike's!!! Dropped my time by a second and didn't even hardly have to tune it (such as I tune)... Actually saw T1/T2 times 27.xxx/52.xxx.

Now I know that probably isn't all that great to some of you who are 50/50-car/driver but I'm still 75/25-car/driver and as such, am starting to fall back so I can't aphord to leave any time out there. Since I've been swetting this track since day one this is GOOD NEWS!!! for me.

You saw T1 splits of 27.xxx ? :eek:

Then I'm still 6 seconds behind @ T1

Edit: damn, I'm running it in the wrong direction!

Time to turn around! :lol:

Did about 5 laps, best splits so far 28.0 / 51.8...

I thought I did??? I am an old guy and doing this from memory... Geez I hope I didn't remember that wrong :confused:

Maybe I'm all screwed up here... What about your T2?

Now I'm all worried :nervous:

that I've gone and made a bad time post or on the wrong track or something... :confused:

(I knew I shoulda kept my mouth shut, listen for that "pin" to drop and wait for someone else to do this...)

It happened to me before..
Imagine what it would be like running in the wrong direction for 6 days, then check the thread, and realize you have only a couple of hours left to set you record time? :eek:

It's my "destiny"...

shutting up now...phattboy

T13R · Mar 30, 2004

Sorry phattboy, I would love to get some runs in to post up T times, but with all the school work, lab reports, projects and so on... I get about 2 hours on friday, and 2 hours on saturday to get my runs in each week

Expect to see something come friday though

Venom77 · Mar 30, 2004

Any you guys and gal running with tcs??
Run a few laps cannot seem to find good setup

Laters

Mr P · Mar 30, 2004

My car has TCS on 1 but its not really needed ... I only put it on for the little section where this car actually slides 👍

I like this rally car on wet racing its very smooth and great spray sound effects in the background adds a relaxing tone to the surroundings

NielsG · Mar 30, 2004

After first session:
27.4
52.0
Not a clean one though. Need to get more familiar with this track.

Mr P · Mar 31, 2004

This combo is addictive :eek:

I want to watch Dawn of the Dead but this thing is keeping me from my flick

best save so far has 26.6/49.6

GT3mich · Mar 31, 2004

"Put that plate of 'Moose Kak' down Max.....you're starting to like that stuff a little to much!"

This is your chance to put some asphalt under your tires and regain your dignity.

I'm going to join you, if I've got the right car left.
