Man I so wanted to join you guys tonight but alas (as usual) things seem to have gotten in the way yet again. If I can somehow manage to get wired up and get an XBL subscription before you guys get going I let you know.

BTW what time do you guys normally get started??

Greg

We usually start around 9 PM and things start kicking really well around 10 PM.

So far I have given out 7 cars to:

(Using Xbox Gamertags)


CKRanger
Guuts
Joph
LiveSpidey07
NSAFreak
OneSinneeJ
superjohnyo


I have 3 in the garage awaiting an owner to claim them. I can make more if needed but will need to be able to leave/come back into the room.

 
I'll probably be on sometime between 9 and 10. Trying to get some stuff done for work tonight but I will take break for an hour or so.
 
Thanks.

I would take one of the cars but believe it or not I don't have a Gamertag ... never been online with any of the 360s I own 😱

Sad I know but I am working to rectify it.

Yeah, good racing tonight. Having a set car to race worked out really well, I think.

Waldo, if you don't want to spend all the cash every week, I know that I for one would be willing to buy my car and then just upgrade and tune to whatever settings you deem fit. Don't know how everyone else feels about that option.

Ok, I'll post a car and setup and see how that goes. I'll still make an extra car or two just incase someone doesn't have time to make their own though.

Good racing last night guys! The CRX worked out fairly well. The front wheel drive had some understeer getting out of corners but other than that I think it was balanced. For next week we're going up to B class so should have some better handling and speed. Probably going with front engine/rear wheel drive cars so we can get a good mixture of race cars going. I'll will try to find a good balance so overtseer doesn't kill everyone exiting corners.
 
Maybe I don't have a clue what I'm doing - or what the terms oversteer and understeer really mean - but I actually thought the CRX handled nicely. I never really had any problems with it. Well, I take that back, I had a major problem on that last lap at Nissan Speedway. I think that was just a momentary lack of concentration/judgment on my part, though, since I'd been okay through that bit on the first 3 laps. That last lap would have been a fun one. I was fighting a war of attrition there with you, Waldo.

As for the car each week, I like the idea a lot. Really makes for some good racing where it's about skill and not just who can buy the best parts and tune it the best. I had a great time, except on the Ring where I stunk it up something fierce.
 
I had a terrible time keeping my car to myself for the first hour last night. I have an entire collection of Honda bumpers stacked in my career garage. I'll give them back next week.

I don't know what my problem was, but I'll "warm up" a little before we start our races next Wednesday.
 
Sorry I missed you guys last night. I got home late and hustled to get set up and find you guys.

Sadly I am kinda new to the XBOX Live deal anyway and was having a hard time trying to figure out where you guys were anyway LOL. (Still clueless at this point)

I just did some of my own career racing instead for about an hour, no worries cause I need the practice!!

I am down for next Wed for sure though so add me to the list please.

Thanks

I sent you a friend request last night when we were done - I'm CKRanger. Just add all the names in the first post to your friend list and someone will see you and send an invite next week.

Why? You never use your brakes anyway. 😉
 
Hey sorry I missed last night guys. I couldn't keep my eyes opened and ended up knocked out before it was time to get together.

I'm sure Guuts didn't miss me knocking him off the course. 🙂

Yea, we missed you last night Queasy. Would've filled up the room at one point I believe if we had one more attend.
 
What the? Why didn't I see this thread before?!
I'm down for getting in on this action if there's room for one more.
Add my tag if you want, Ol Redrooster.
Every Wednesday night?
 
All I remember is CK and I running 1 & 2 on the last lap of that wide open track with the wide open sweeping right hand turn. With a SIZEABLE lead over everybody. We were racing really well and hanging really close. All we had to do was finish and keep a good pace and waldo wasn't going to catch us.

But NO! I misjudged some braking and nudged him on the inside rear wiping out both of us. sorry CK. 😱

Ha, no problem. I don't remember the specific incident, but the way I was driving, it was probably as much my fault.

I enjoyed running on the Sunset Peninsula Infield with NSAFreak and hearing (what I believe was) him impaling his car on the pit wall as we went around the oval portion.
