I'll be creating a thread for it to make it a little more organized and to alert people when I have a lobby up. No points or anything serious though. I've met a lot of fast friendly drivers in them and have had some of best races yet.

Thought I’d share some of my “racing history” Though I’ve never raced “full size” cars, I have done some R/C racing. 1/10 scale sprint cars on dirt ovals. Highlight of my “career”. This a big end of season event in Wisconsin that lasted 3 days. Total entries across 4 different classes was around 150 I think and guys from as far as Georgia were there. My class had like 40ish.

I used to be part of a pit crew for many years for a good friend. This is as far back as I have photos of.

8 years ago. I’m back left.

6 years ago. One of the last years I was part of the crew. Finances didn’t line up for me to be able to afford to pay my way in.

And after he had his worst wreck ever. Hardest hit he ever took. Other cars wrecked coming out of turn 4 and the track was filled with thick smoke. He was the leader, and was not far behind the wreck. Caution came out and he was still at a decent speed, smoke was so thick he didn’t know where to go, ended up hitting a stopped car head on. Race was technically over before he wrecked and was awarded the win.

That's so cool.. I ran in the RC Pro Series for around 8 years traveling around to different states. I started off in Monster Truck class but quickly jumped up into the Buggy & Truggy class. I will have to dig out my photos sometime of my trailer setup, the RC cars themselves and my Trophies.
Those were some fun times and I really miss that kind of racing.

I do have two photos of my other hobby. I just don't keep much of this stuff on my phone anymore. Photos just don't do the scale of these planes any Justice.

Boys of summer. Best Henley song ever!
 
1. Ruby Soho (Rancid) - hence my daughters name
2. The Kids aren't Alright (Offspring) - pretty much sums up my 20s
3. Keasbey Nights (Catch 22) - the show where my wife and I met
4. Come on Eileen (Save Ferris) - every playlist needs a good cover song
5. Shadrach (Beastie Boys) - one of the best hip hop songs on one of the best hip hop albums by one the best hip hop groups.
6. Don't Speak (No Doubt) - everyone has a guilty pleasure and Gwen Stefani is mine
7. Anarchy in the UK (Sex Pistols) - I mean come on.
8. Same in the End (Sublime) - I'm pretty sure I wore out this cassette in high school
9. Linoleum (NOFX) - The song that got me into punk rock
10. Book of Love (Peter Gabriel) gotta have a tear jerker.


This was difficult. I don't know how you guys did yours soo quick. There are other songs I want on my list.
 
Specifically for gtsport, fanatec csl elite with csl elite Lc pedals, or thrustmaster tgt?

Currently on a t-150 with the pro pedals. Looking to upgrade, mostly because I’m not satisfied with the “feedback” I get on the t150. It’s almost nothing to me, yet when I jump on asetta corsa the feedback seems great. Feel like I could be much faster if I had better feedback, from what I understand it sounds like the tgt offers the best feedback with gts but I also hear a lot about the csl. Looking for info from those who experience with either or both.

CSL with the club sport V3 pedals is what I have. I absolutely love them an it’s just a little bit more than the tgt. To me. It’s worth that alone. The CSL is way more efficient if you were to ever us it on a PC.

I like the original catch 22 album version better. Something about the Streetlight Manifesto album just seems a little off.

I can agree with that. But live the Streetlight version is really good. I watch both bands numerous times in the past lol. Great shows.
