Welcome to Div. 2 @OMG_mang ,@RacingOtaku86 ,@rprphoto ,@Oshawa-Joe ,@whatbadgerseat

Gentleman,

For those of you who covered duties last season,please state if you can assume the same responsibilities this season. We need a backup scorekeeper.

 

[MajorBlixem]

Good to be back "home". See you on the track tonight!

 

[BradESPN]

Yep, I can still handle scores and data.

 

[TVV0_]

No longer can guarantee my participation full time but if im there I will handle my duties

 

[Rob Brown]

I plan to host.

 

[Raw10_2u]

@MajorBlixem Do you want to do backup scorekeeper duties?

 

[MajorBlixem]

I currently don’t have a laptop. So unfortunately I can’t

 

[Freeryd503]

Hey guys sorry I’ve been MIA. Been trying to deal with my connection issues and it seems to be day by day. I’ll try and race but if my connection is causing issues let me know and I’ll back out of the races. I don’t want to infringe on anyone else’s fun.

 

[Rob Brown]

Have to ask wife if she’s ok with me racing. She’s not my mother but she can make my life rough like my mother could.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Gentleman,please state your intentions for tonight's event's.

 

[Freeryd503]

I plan on racing. Please let me know if my connection creates any problems. I’m hoping all is well now.

 

[BradESPN]

I'll be there and I'll handle scores and data.

 

[Freeryd503]

Well, tried to practice but sounds as if I’m still lagging. I’m at a loss guys. Not quite sure what’s happening on my end down here. I’ll try a race and if it’s too bad I’ll bounce as to not impede on anyone else’s fun.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Are you running wireless?

 

[SAMHAIN85]

@Freeryd503 make sure to clear your cache and double check that no other devices are using Wi-Fi. If your ps4 is using Wi-Fi and is not hardwired into your modem that might be the problem. Hope that helps

 

[Freeryd503]

Are you running wireless?

No I’m hard wired in, that’s the confusing part. I live in BFE and as of late there have been some internet issues on the island I live on. Had the ISP replace my router and everything and it still seems to have issues.

 

[Raw10_2u]

whats your speed test like?

 

[Freeryd503]

I pay for 100Mbs and I’m only getting 56.8

 

[BradESPN]

I pay for 100Mbs and I’m only getting 56.8

What about upload speed? Apparently that's what really matters.

 

[Freeryd503]

Not good 500-800kbs

 

[Dragonwhisky]

That looks suspiciously like a satellite down / up ratio. If there's not a satellite up link somewhere early in your data path, you might hound your ISP about not getting the rates you're paying for. Can you get a PC directly connected to your modem and test from there?

 

[Rednose58]

Who was the pole sitter for round 2? The bonus point is missing

@MajorBlixem @Raw10_2u @BradESPN

 

[Rednose58]

@MajorBlixem @Raw10_2u @BradESPN

Nevermind - it looks like it was @BradESPN . I entered the point. That makes it a tie for first and the tie breaker goes to brad.

 

[Rednose58]

I have also noted another few items (fixed):
- vsfit finished 8th in both Round 2 races
- TVVO finished 3rd and 10th in Round 3 (he was missing in the scores)
- Starting positions in Rnd 3 was not right.

Thanks for helping out with the scoring. Things are happening fast on race nights. Take your time.

 

[BradESPN]

Sorry for the confusion with scores last night everyone - I was using a friend's laptop and it kept disconnecting from my wifi. Next week, I'll use my own laptop and everything will be back to normal.

 

[Sander 001]

Thanks for the nice racing and hosting! Really appreciated the warm welcome from everybody too.
The tire choice was interesting too, much better than I thought they'd be.

Hope I can make it to some practice rooms and the next race. Also, if I can't make it, who should I inform?

It was great having you, Sander! I was following close behind/beside you for a few laps at the end of the last race, and I was quite impressed. Very nice racecraft.

If you can't make it to a Sunday night, you can simply reply here. If you're going to be out for more than a week it's probably best to update the main thread.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Sorry about the confusion with scoring( thanks @Rednose58 for correcting that),I am not very fast at it and was a bit overwhelmed with everything.Thanks @TomMang_68 for taking care of the replays.

 

[Sander 001]

Sorry everybody, I won’t be able to race this Sunday, I have work.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Thanks for giving us a heads up.Hope you have a safe one.
