Hope everything turned out OK for you Jason ???

We farted around with the muscles cars and then anything we could find in the garage and finally decided to take out the 125 Karts on the race track and have some fun.
They are slow to get going ( can drink your coffee off the line ) but do they ever scoot when they get up in the power band and the rule is WFO all around the track !!! :D :D :P


...forgot to mention...in these Karts we all "weigh" the same!! 8O :orglaugh:

Looks like there will be no GT5 tonight......

3 posts in a row.... seeing as how the GT5 racing seems to have hit a bit of a dead spot (I haven't had a series race since the 27th!!)
Are we racing with full damage for the endurance race? My vote would be yes!

So if my math is correct, we'll do 82 laps of the Nürburgring GP/F tonight.

Ok...so which is it the GP/D or the GP/F track that we are going to run tonight ??? :?

Looks like I will be using the clutch and gated shifter for this race...need to get the brake and downshift points set up for this one.

Lets do a 2hr Nürburgring GP/D race on Sunday.
The enduro will be 4x the regular points, so 64pts for 1st, 60pts for 2nd, 56pts for 3rd, etc

To allow for a prompt start time lets use tonight as a practice session for the enduro, maybe even do a fun/non-points 25 lap race.


I've been practicing GP/D based on this quote, I hope I haven't spent all that time on the wrong track...

F I believe.... the Grand Prix track, not the short track.
That was my plan anyways.....

If I typed D before it was a typo.... but we can run it if that's what everyone wants.
