drag racer. it makes sense to ask for a picture too, but in reality it can't be done so easily. if i had an iphone for example, i'd have to unlock it, open up the camera app, and chances are by that time the countdown would be at 2 seconds left and i wouldn't have time to line up a clear shot and save a replay.

I take the picture and write my time down before saving the replay.

I guess we have some super human camera operators here. I think only 1 or 2 people have not submitted a picture of their time after a lag out and finish.

But in the end just do the best you can to provide adequate proof.

guess drive and open the camera on the last straight then take it as quick as you can and save the replay after is the sequence

Race Room Recap and Incident Report


A Room

GT Rolling Start was very nicely done. A good single file line and a clean start.
GTC Rolling Start was good. Good single file no one jumped the start

Great racing with no contact at all for nearly the whole first half of the race. Considering how close the racing was this speaks to the level of drivers in the field.

Lap 25 Turn 16 (Casino Triangle) - Blahzay xxl (GT) attempting to make a pass or possible double pass creates avoidable contact as he rear ends the #94 Chevrolet Corvette Racing ZR1 of OldFenderBender (GT) causing significant damage and loss of control. There was also a secondary contact that occurred as a result as the #35 Mosler MT900S of Blahzayxxl (GT) bounced from the Corvette of OldFenderBender (GT) into the #65 Chevrolet Corvette Racing ZR1 of METAL C6R (GT) causing damage and loss of control.
Penalty - Due to the lap 25 DNF the Penalty Assessed will be 10 points and a two race probation.


Lap 31 Turn 16 (Casino Triangle) - RAFT No Brakes (GT) in the #24 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera causes avoidable contact as he rear ends the #79 Acura NSX of jpnVR4 (GTC) causing significant damage and loss of control sending the Acura into the sand trap.
Penalty Assessed - 30 Second time penalty.

Great racing in both classes and the results show that every second and every lap can count!

B Room

GT Rolling Start was very nicely done. A good single file line and a clean start.
GTC Rolling Start was good. Good single file line and a clean start.

Lap 2 - Minor contact in the esses (into turn 5), between the #91 RUF RGT-8 of THF dvsSublime and #70 McLaren GT MP4-12C GT3 of Luongo27 no damage, race incident.

Lap 2 - Light contact in the S Curves between the #37 McLaren MP4-12C driven by Th3 NaPsTeR 15 {R} and the #53 Ferrari 458 Italia driven by LUKEMAD9999 {R}. The #37 car was directly behind the #53 car when the #53 Ferrari got the two left tires in the grass and checked up causing the closely following McLaren MP4-12C to lightly tap the rear bumper.
No Penalty Race Incident.

Lap 2 - Avoidable Contact in turn 15 heading to Casino Triangle between the #37 McLaren MP4-12C driven by Th3 NaPsTeR 15 {R} and the #53 Ferrari 458 Italia driven by LUKEMAD9999 {R}. Th3 NaPsTeR 15 {R} went out very very wide on the sweeping left turn 15 and while entering the track did not make any attempt to slow down or avoid the #53 Ferrari 458 of LUKEMAD9999 {R} thus creating avoidable contact while re-entering the racing surface unsafely and without regard for the racers on the track.
Penalty Assessed - 2nd Offense - 15 point Penalty along with 45 second time Penalty. Probation continues. Due to the DNF of Th3 NaPsTeR at Suzuka the time penalty cannot be assessed. The next race at Sedona Th3 NaPsTer will be required to pit on lap 2 AND MUST STILL DO THE REQUIRED PIT BETWEEN LAP 15 - 30.

Lap 3 - Minor contact in Dunlop Curve between the #57 Pontiac G8 GXP of TheManNowDog777 and the #807 Team Gunnar Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport(C6) of jack diss {R}. No damage race incident. Just a lil close racing.
