Then see if QuikWgn will ship it to you and you can ship it back. All you need to do is install it.

You and me can be "teamies" hopeless, you game? If so we can coordinate and such, be all "stealthy."

I think he made a comment in at one point that his cat did something and the bonus disk got scratched up.

I'm up for if no one else has a problem with it.

How'd it go last night? Sorry I didn't make it, you'll laugh but I was in bed around 8:20 Central last night.

It was pretty fun, we ran 25 laps on MAPLE VALLEY

Quik decided to test what happens when you run out of gas, and you get to coast for a little than your dead where ever you make it.

So, I dunno what I'm doing wrong but I'm not even close to keeping up with everyone times-wise. I built an Audi S5 4 different ways (full WR/race tires/stock engine, full WR/Sport tires/more power, mid WR/race tires/more power, mid WR/sport tires/lots of power) and I think the best I could muster was a 1:28 at RA...I have had no luck with the Maserati GS or CTS-V either.

The other night I threw some parts on one just to see how it would do and without running it through the calc for tuning and leaving the final drive at 3.3 I was getting 1:26's solo and last night with others on the track it went to 1:28's. It just seemed real sluggish accelerating and a bit loose, but that might get better after tuning it some.

There are a few others I was looking at, but I just haven't had a chance to try them yet.
 
Reminder.

Qualifying is Sunday night. You can pop on anytime between 9pm and 10pm to Qualify.

Best of 3 Laps (1st one being a throw away of course).

If you CANNOT make it Sunday just make sure to grab a fellow racer at anytime and have them Witness your lap. Then either message me here or message me on XBLIVE with that time so I can set the Starting Order.

Once I have that we will run ONE lap at Tsukuba to get in proper order and finish the lap so we can be in the right order for the main Enduro Race. Points for Tsukuba of course WILL NOT count in the series!!

That is all my friends.


**EDIT -- Just so there is no confusion I have changed my # from 09 to 14 (I wussed out and got an AH Paint Job as I do not have time to do it 😱)

 
I will re-gift the Jag and the Supra to you after work tonight Greg. I may not make Sunday qualifying. If I don't will I just automatically get 8th? It's where I'm going to qualify anyway.

And yes my cat decided to jump on top of my DVR to chase cars one night when I was racing when I had my XBox vertically oriented and when he hit it it grooved my disk beyond repair. My 360 is now horizontally oriented and the cat has a headache.
 
If you can't make it to qualifying you can team up with someone and they'll witness your time. I dunno if I'll be able to make it either so we can team up if our schedules allow it.
 
Correct you can team up with anyone just to have them witness your time. If you need a set time just PM me and I can probably meet you or I am sure another racer can meet up with you.

Best of 3 laps so don't always assume you will be 8th.

Ty -- who is running on Tuesday from your team ... you or hopeless?


**FYI I will also post Sunday night to make sure everyone can race Tuesday or see if we need a different night for Race #1.

Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about that. Umm, RA is my single favorite track so if I can make it I'd like to, but we'll have to talk it over (as it very well may be his favorite track too).

Also, if anyone wants a new # plate just PM me with your last name and your # and I'll get it to ya. If you wanna gift me a cheap car to put it on and save me some $$ that'd be nice too 😛
 
Are you making special Anandtech Enduro series plates? If so I'll have ya hook me up otherwise I'll prob make my own.
 
My paint job is locked as I wussed out and got it off the AH so I have to stick with the itty bitty one that is on the car.

I like the paint on this car a lot and don't want to erase ... plus I don't have the time to paint one any way.

Rd At and MV are my two favorites. With Rd At being you top fav if you can make it go ahead and run that I'd just like to run MV when it comes up.
