just a heads up, you haven't updated the team listing for the team points on the main page. Like fattymicpatty and a few others

and your Idea to subtract or add time is not going to happen. I am not about to re calculate 30 - 40 racers times each race. NOPE!

If each room conducts itself accordingly this becomes a non issue. It takes teamwork to make the dreamwork!

all you have to do is set it up in excel and it would automatically subtract the times...

No matter how you try to figure it out there is going to be a variable. The out lap, the first lap, the go command, etc. If the room host does a decent job of getting the room ready and giving some instruction things go smoother and less time is wasted on the outlap. If not the room host another veteran can help out or even a rookie who has taken the time to really understand the series and rules and how things work.

I feel that some things that are left open work themselves out a bit. If B or C or D room want to have a better outlap all it takes is a bit of talk and explanation. I have been in B room and C room before and each time I explain the procedure and what each racer needs to do and it was never a problem. I think I like the variable because its one that can be minimized through cooperation and a bit of initiative.

That doesnt always work when you got some retards in the room Pred, they don't listen. One of them has even admitted that he hasn't read the rules.

Well, when things like that happen let myself or the other Race Director know and it will get handled. I have no problem booting a racer if he has no intention of following the rules or race procedures of this series. NONE WHAT SO EVER.

I told you this after last weeks race when the same person kept causing problems.

Ok all of the complaining is great but can we get a look at the replay again for B room. Napster dove on me and T boned me in a corner his seconded wreck of that race! hello that's a problem then he hits guide and there are still cars racing naming me seeing that I finished behind GTC because of the damage from him and fattie hitting me in a straight with no warning.

There is a problem that needs to be addressed. This league is about racing and gentlemen driving.If I get lapped or the leaders come behind me I pull off Even for GTC. That's what this league was about in the Two races I have been back this race was the worst and I have not seen this. It upsets me in a way because I was excited to return now I'm questioning if I want to continue.

I hit you because 1.) you went way wide,practically off track and cut back in front of me, with virtually no chance of me being able to stop in time. 2.) Pulling the bs card right now. I already lapped you once. In no way shape or form did you pull off to the side to let me pass. Same could be said with the big accident involving you, me and science. There was virtually no attempt to move over on your end, and it could have easily been avoided.

Uh-oh

Good race

Nice insult, stay classy. If you moved over to the side like you say you did when people are lapping you, than that accident wouldn't have happened. There was no attempt to move over on your end. You were a lap down and still werent letting me by.

I was classy till you decide to be an idiot. Did you say any thing about beeing behind me. (For example) heckle I'm behind you on your right. NO you did not. Other people let me know they were coming or they were there. Even then I saw a blob coming I moved out of the way. And the was not a five year old comment that woul be me calling you a dumb dumb.


So again pay attention other wise I will slam into your car you do it again

So why didn't you move out of the way then when I was coming? You said that you did for others even when they didn't say anything. Anyways I'm trying to have a civilized discussion but I guess that's too much to ask for when you respond saying, "what you said

Your not paying attention. I the person driving the car did not no that you were behind me at that particular time. Again if you would of opened your mouth and said somthing I would of moved how ever if you have not raced with a RUF if you have rear end damage on a track like that I have to pay attention to what I'm doing in front of me. When I could I would check to see who was coming seeing that my review was black at the time I could not see any thing.

How ever it is your job to also make it around me safely there has been several times that I had to wait out the pass on a lapped car I did not just take them out. But I also talk and let them know I was there. Last week race I moved out of your way when u lapped me so don't make this as I was trying to block you.

CLOSE YOUR MOUTHS, GO TAKE A SHOWER, COOL YOUR HEAD OFF AND STOP DWINDLING ON THE PAST ISSUE AND MOVE THE F*** ON.

Give me the replay and I'll take a look at it (if it's viewable), let me know what lap it was on (in a PM).

Replay had already cut out by then. Believe me I really could care less about this issue, what happened happened. The damage is done. I'll just leave it at that

My problem was with Napster. Our issue was just the icing on tha cake

Well I have this fabulous poster that I just adore, gist of it is that $h!t happens (I might just post a picture of it)

The rule of thumb is the car in front HOLDS HIS RACING LINE, The passing car finds a safe way to pass. The car being passed is not expected or even desirable to alter his racing line for a passing racer. THIS IN ITSELF creates the incident because it is an unexpected maneuver. It's late and I am tired. Hope that maybe explains what I am trying to say.

Would it be too much to ask to remind the guys that they cant alter their builds? last night in practice some people were messing with their builds and i dont want to find myself at a disadvantage for not cheating. (and i will admit that i completely forgot that if you dont get an adjustment you cant fool with the build)

In my opinion, the clear for Road Atlanta should be given once the person in the clear position has exited from under the bridge after the chicane at 10a & 10b. Since the finish line is just after the apex of the last corner. THAT way there is a more controlled way of giving the Go command.

Just like at Suzuka later in the season I believe the clear should be given when the clear position driver exits the Casino chicane and not have to wait until they are through the slight right hander past where pit entry is. And Sedona the clear should be given when the last person gets ONTO the banking

Just an opinion

wtf where is the :beers: ?

Thats grounds for being DQ'ed and have points taken away

I must chime in with two things.

1. Intentional crashing into someone will have you removed from the series for the rest of the season without hesitation or recourse.

2. There are NO PIRS Adjustments for Le Mans for a reason. If you are caught changing the build of your car You will GET DISQUALIFIED, lose all points for the race and deducted 10 PI for the next 3 racers.

I have everyones HP and Torque ratings on my spreadsheet so it will be easy to catch. There will be only two people who have the ability to change their PI once I update them on the website.

Test to see if you get caught at your own risk.

Edit in: I have this Friday pretty much off and not much to do save fiddle with my new iPhone. So I wll be going through previous replays and PIRS adjustment sheets to see can I catch any cheaters. If there is one of a few things I truly dislike is dishonest people/racers or cheaters. Cheating hurts all involved. But I will be sure to make it hurts who I catch MORE.
