Re running teams of 2 in the US Stock series:

Tooma interested
Colin interested
Joe interested
Anyone else?

Thanks Paul; reckon you need brakes on your chair too, lol.

It certainly needs a handbrake! It's a bit like a full motion rig at the moment - but not in a good way.

The mind boggles at the possibilities and I get excited thinking about it.

Increase the medication, it'll help calm you down.

 

[buybon355]

What about pairing the 1st place finisher of the current series with the last place finisher, 2nd place finisher with 2nd last etc? That should more or less even things out no?

I thought about that Colin and doing so would probably be the fair way to go about it but maybe not necessarily the best as not all drivers turned up for every race skewing the results somewhat. So it left me thinking, if it were up to me, I'd do this:

Team 1. joe / tooma
Team 2. fad / Tom A
Team 3. quentin / Venari
Team 4. buybon / suts
Team 5. richy / Derek
Team 6. Al / john

But people might want to choose themselves? Or names in a hat? The above would depend on @Sutsagrd joining the fray. I think those teams would produce an interesting side championship. However, there doesn't seem to be the interest.

If no interest is shown from the other members then we don't need to think about it any further:tup:

Tooma interested
Colin interested
Joe interested
Anyone else?

And while I'm here, anyone up for a job?

On my part I won't be a good team mate
I can't run all races
Actually for the first one I have a farewell party for my brother who's living France for long time.

 

[reefer]

Thanks Tom. We'll just run as is. It's simple that way. The votes are in and Spa is our track for the GT40:tup:

You can still be my teamm8

Joe
I thought I'd already signed up for this but obviously not!

Number 88 as usual please and I think I'll choose different colours for different cars if that's ok? My garage is looking too purple at the minute!

I know I'll miss 1 race as working...it would be the gt40 and the cougar!

 

[IfAndOr]

I think I'll choose different colours for different cars

Shock horror! Hold the front page, big news story breaking.

I expect there is a blur of purple as you scroll up and down your garage list.

Having a garage full of purple cars is a true sign of a very advanced soul..

#42 for me Joe!

 

[Venari]

I'm up for teams. Don't mind who I'm up with either. As a reminder, my car colour is Trumpet Gold, which is from the Jay Leno Toronado...

Reefer Madness is back with a Celebration of American Classics from 1948-'69. This time we'll be running cars in their stock form except for a tyre and oil change. You can also change the brake bias to suit and Improve/Restore Body Rigidity. So, not pure stock, but stock enough for some great door-to-door racing.

• Tyre change to specified grade (see above) - OK
• Mix of tyre grades - OK
• Oil change - OK
• Brake balance change - OK
• Improve/Restore Body Rigidity

Except that, please touch nothing.

No weight changes, power, drivetrain, suspension or transmission changes are allowed. All races will be on Sports Soft tyres except for the Mario Andretti which will be on Sports Hard tyres and the GT40 which will be on SH front and SM rear. However, except for the GT40, you can run any tyre grade, even a mix of tyre grades, up to and including the specified ones if you wish.

​

Are we allowed to change the oil in the GT40?

 

[buybon355]

Tom can take 77 this time around, I'll run number 13

And yes we can change the oil on all cars

 

[reefer]

I hope Tooma really isn't using #11 since I am already using that number.

Just an oversight quentin, something we didn't spot.

Are we allowed to change the oil in the GT40?

I'm guessing you're asking because the GT40 pp is out if we add in the oil change? If so, good catch. (I'll check when I get home.)

EDIT: Just checked, 529pp with oil change for the GT40, so good catch quentin. Calendar changed above to reflect the pp with oil.

A note to all: do oil change in all cars!

I'm up for teams. Don't mind who I'm up with either.

I'm not sure if I put this to bed or not but adding fad and Venari to the original list of Tooma, Colin and I means we're up to 5 members that support running teams. Another two "yes" votes would see a majority in favour of it, however, all it would take would be one strong "no thanks" and we shouldn't run it. After all, nobody signed up for this series expecting to be part of a team. (And anyway, it's only a fun suggestion and shouldn't be taken too seriously.)

Is there anyone who really doesn't want to do it?
And do we have another two "yes" votes?

Let me know:tup:

Me too. Does someone want to dance with me?

I never knew you could do the Fandango Al

 

[fadmad]

Always in here

 

[CrazyJohn]

Yes I like running teams.

 

[reefer]

Yes I like running teams.

Seven drivers have now shown an interest in running in teams and no one has posted a "no thanks". However, we need an even number to make it work, one more racer. What to do...?

 

[Sutsagrd]

I'm sitting on the fence... I have no problem with teams but I feel really bad that I'll let my team mate down either on track or by my absence!!

 

[buybon355]

Suts, get in. We can run our ususal Ecurie Ecosse livery. Don't worry about attendance, and we tend to perform about the same overall.

 

[reefer]

I have no problem with teams but I feel really bad that I'll let my team mate down either on track or by my absence!!

I don't think anyone's gonna mind Suts. It really is only for a silly bit of fun. See how you feel mate, no pressure:tup:

 

[LeoStrop]

I am on the same boat as Suts, i will definitely miss some races, so i don't wan't to prejudice anyone. But i don't mind teams and i can run with anyone who will miss some races and don't mind being on the top.

 

[Sutsagrd]

Suts, get in. We can run our ususal Ecurie Ecosse livery.

I'm in... teammates with Colin...ecurie ecosse mkII.

 

[buybon355]

Just need to nail down an exact colour we both have and we're sorted

 

[reefer]

I know some haven't replied here, and that's okay. If you don't want to run teams, you don't need to. Just express your wish to me not to do so for whatever reason. This is what I have:

Team 1. joe / tooma
Team 2. fad / Tom A
Team 3. quentin / Venari
Team 4. buybon / suts / Team Ecurie Ecosse (I want one of these transporters)
Team 5. richy / Derek
Team 6. Al / john
Team 7 Leo / tooma
Team 8 IfAndOr / Independent / Team Hit-Or-Miss

Don't worry about turning up for each race Tom_A, Suts and Leo. Your team mate isn't gonna mind as it's only for a bit of fun on the side. If it appears to be working okay then we can even run it over a 10-week series (into the '00-'09 cars) with the best 9 results counting for points.

Tooma, because of uneven numbers, you're in 2 teams! No doubt I'll be on ps3 in an hour or two and we can discuss a team name. Anything goes. Same for team colour; you can run the same colour in your cars or have both cars different.

Please pm your team mate do discuss your team name (or do it here on this thread) and let me know what you decide ASAP.

We kick off the Stock Classic series tonight, so remember to do an oil change especially in your second car as leaving the room after R1 upsets the starting order.

(open invitation to Paul for all races)

 

[IfAndOr]

Being as it's a stock series I can jump in much more easily than previously, so if/when I can make it I don't mind running as an independent or being a (very) part time team member.

Team "Hit-or-Miss" since that sums up both my attendance and driving style.

 

[Sutsagrd]

Team 4. buybon / suts / Team Ecurie Ecosse (I want one of these transporters)

Given this is still a real company, should we change it slightly to Ecurry Ecosse??

Yep...I've used that transporter before...

Shall I bring this??
