I don't think I will be racing tomorrow as I have work to do for school until this project is over a week from Friday. After that I'll be back in it.
I made and tested an S7, C6 ZO6, new Z28 SS, Saturn Sky, Dodge Stealth, Infiniti G35, Regal GNX, 720Hp CTS-V, and an 886HP 1970 Boss Mustang. The Saleen S7 is pretty nice. I did a 1:20.780on MV. The Camaro did a 1:18.111 at Road Atlanta but I didn't like it anywhere else. The Infiniti I did a 1:17.3xx at Road Atlanta. They're all pretty quick really. Oh well. I'll just have to wait a few weeks.

p.s. my gamertag is Arby08

I slapped together a VIS Integra S998 tonight. I don't know how competitive I will be. Didn't have time to do a paint job either.

I'll still try to catch the beginning or ending races depending on what time we actually practice.

Well that sucks but I sure can understand it. If I could hook up with another team around here I would jump at the chance. I used to play with my church and really enjoyed playing (didn't enjoy the politics though). Since they stopped having a team I have been unable to hook up with another .

Bummer. Well I guess we will see you back in a few weeks.

No worries Queasy, good to have you back.

I plan on driving in reverse tonight.

 

[ajskydiver]

I've got a family situation going on tonight that prevents me from being available until at least 10:30...so you guys will probably be done before I can get online.

I had an S7 all ready too...

Hope all is well with your fam Skydiver. See ya next week!

 

[Queasy]

That sucks skydiver. Hope all is well.

 

[ajskydiver]

Thanks, guys. If anything changes, I'll let you all know!

 

[alpineranger]

I want to play! But I definitely need practice because I never use S class (don't have any s class cars). If anyone wants to before the official round commences, let me know and I'll fire up the xbox.

If you want to join in just let me know. I can gift you an S class car for the evening.

Definitely join in. The more the merrier. If we've got a full field of 8, it's fantastic fun. This is the first time I've ever raced S class, as well.

 

[alpineranger]

alright, are you guys on yet?

I am invaliddata01

 

[GCS]

We usually start at 9pm EST. I'll make sure someone sends you an invite.


BTW who is hosting tonight??

Greg

 

[spidey07]

Whoever's got a good connection, start 'er up.

BRING IT!

 

[Abel007]

Next week's car will be a

2000 Honda Prelude SiR - C550
Note: The drivetrain CANNOT be changed. It MUST remain a FWD vehicle.

 

[Supermercado]

So the idea is that we're allowed to do whatever we want to the car, as long as it's that model, that max PI, and FWD, correct?

Sounds good. This could be interesting. I have no clue about that car.

On a different note, last night was a blast. Coming in during cat and mouse really helped me warm up a little and then when we busted out the big boy races again my little Ford Focus (lol still funny to say) was driving like a champ. We had some very good races and for the most part clean. Sorry Spidey and Arby for attempting to get my car to phase through yours a couple of times, it was in the name of science, I swear! Unfortunately it looks like my time will be taken up during the first half of Forza 2 night from now on but I will show up and race as soon as I possibly can!

 

[GCS]

What class is the base car we are buying (ie is there much room for upgrades or just tuning)??

I felt like my night was a little hit or miss. It was fun but I struggled pretty badly after cat and mouse. I guess I get in a rhythm before C&M because I did pretty well then and afterwards, I'm nowhere near as consistent. The first race back is one of the times I took spidey out (again, sorry about those two times, buddy) and Sebring was a complete disaster. I wound up running a fast lap, first time under 2 minutes, but got caught up in some stuff at the start and had no shot at finishing well after that. *sigh*

I think it is a low D class car stock.

Yea, you were running good laps but got caught up in the junk. Happens to all of us. You got your revenge on Maple Valley though! My car couldn't navigate very quickly through Maple Valley so I got thoroughly owned. FWD with that much power is just too much. I think I really got lucky running Sebring and Suzuka because they are more wide open and allowed that car to really shine.

Would also like to thank the new guys for racing with us last night. Welcome aboard! Hope you had some fun. The S Class is a little rough for beginners but next week I am slowing it down for all of us. Should make for some good racing and will help out any who were struggling last night. As always if you need any help with anything just ask. I or anyone else here will be glad to help you out.

Yeah, that's the gist of it. I saved a few replays to try to figure out where I went wrong. I'm pretty sure the mayhem at the start of Sebring was caused by CK and I trying to shoot the same gap. I think Queasy was the most unfortunate participant in that incident. I'm not completely sure on what happened since I use the nose cam view and have limited side visibility. Maybe I'll work on driving third person at the starts.

I'm looking forward to C class. I'll be on tonight working on my car.
