Whose Eleanor BK?

Good news-negative on pneumonia. Bad news-they don't know what it is. Let's just load up the patient on more antibiotics, ughhh.
Anyway, I should hopefully be back next week.

Challenger's with no tuning sounds fun. That thang got a Hemi in it?

One of these cars is lame, The other is my Audi

Having driven a real GT500 with 427 cobra jet I can say they're fun cars, but I'd take the Audi any day.

Glad to hear no pneumonia NCR, we missed you on track last night.

RR, I'll be there for Challenger TC testing.

Anyone rooting for the Viper against the old Corvette and the old Aston Martin?

I haven't driven on it yet. Can't wait to find out how bumpy it is! It should be a handful, that is for sure.

Yea turn 17 can be a handful. It's a fast track with a very technical back section. Lots of fun

Clean my windshield!

Man that was a lot of race action in the past 3 days, between F1 practice, qualifying, watching Sebring on my iPad (no speed channel but ALMS came through with a mistake in their web page, it said US had to watch Speed, but I clicked the International stream and it worked fine), just finishing up the F1 opener - thanks to NBC for showing everything live. Long day of cooking and drinking for St. Patrick's day.

Plus Bristol later today!

I grew up in Georgia and was shocked to see Lanier Raceway. A track that is similar to Langley. I've spent plenty of weekend nights watching races there with my dad. Lanier is directly across the street from Road Atlanta. Just a short 5 minute walk between the two. They probably figured they should scan it while capturing Road Atlanta. Pretty cool though.

Yeah, I've been to Langley Speedway many times too. We're about 20 minutes across the Peninsula. Even spent a HOT day there doing autocross. Half the course used the banked turns. Was in my old 2003 S2K.

Does iRacing have Sunshine Speedway in Clearwater Florida? We used to go there a lot when we lived in St. Pete. A favorite event was School Bus Figure 8 racing!

I want to school bus 8 race so bad. More than race in a real race. I think I could do well.

No, they do not have Sunshine Speedway. They have all the NASCAR tracks used in the Sprint Cup. Along with some shorter ovals used by the Legends, Street Stocks and Late Models (Langley, Lanier, Oxford Plains, USA International, South Boston, Thompson International, New Smyrna Speedway).

There is talk of iRacing possibly appearing on the PS4. It isn't their top priority and not really in their plans as of now. But it may be possible with the new consoles.

I work Sundays so my wife takes the kids to my moms to hang out. Look at my son. He's not 2 yet but knows what's up.

He knows what's up! Man, that 24 is having a bad year :indiff:

For all you High Culture fans. Tonight at 9PM EST on Speed the intellectual program "Are You Faster Than A RedNeck" features a white Audi station wagon vs. the 'Murican muscle cars.

awr117 · Mar 18, 2013

I've seen a few episodes of "Are You Faster Than A Redneck". It's a bit entertaining. Some nice street cars to be seen, import or muscle.

I heard some of you like Miata's, more to come soon.

awr117 · Mar 18, 2013

Awesome bk! Perfect weather for the race. Must have been a nice change from the PA winter.

Very nice! Were you standing near a bees nest?

sounded that way.

Been testing with uploading game play to youtube. Think the picture quality has gotten better. Learning that my upload speeds are horrible. This 30 second clip took me over an hour to upload to youtube. Anyone with experience have pointers for quicker upload speeds?

That's bad. My phone uploads 7 minute clips in 2.

awr117 · Mar 18, 2013

I think my internet provider cripples upload speeds as they want you to upgrade to the business plan. They can stick it!

So how are everyone's times this week around Suzuka East?
