Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


We'll Obviously Spending Time with Family is always important. Would I like to be spending time with Family on Saturday Nights or Friends? UMM YES? But My Dad Works on nights, and I havent seen my mom since I was 8 and my 2 best friends don't live around here so its pretty much Me and My Uncle Todd and this is what we love to do any of the days your racing.

Like you say, If you wanna work things out cool, if not oh well.

I might be at Dega. Im thinking about taking a break from online racing for a few weeks, but I'm sure Uncle Todd will still be here and I hope you all have a blast, and wish y'all all good luck in the races ahead if I ain't here to race them.

Jeremy

So is IRC a Chat Room, or is it simular to like Teamspeak where you have to have a mic?




I've never done teamspeak before, but I can tell you that IRC does not have any voice or video chat capabilities. IRC is probably one of the (if not THE) oldest chat/IM programs on the internet. It's VERY basic. Because of it's age, it can be a little less user-friendly than most of the modern messengers out there. In fact, it was pretty confusing when I first started using it a few years ago. Hell, some of it's STILL pretty confusing to me now. Dunno how helpful I could be in helping you get it set up and as automated as possible, but I could try. I've pretty much got mine to where all I gotta do is click to open it, tell it to connect to ETG, then pick which one of my saved favorite channels I wanna connect to. When I first installed it, I took about 5 minutes going through and deleting all the preset favorite channels on the favorites menu so that I wouldn't have to search through them to find the only 4 or 5 channels I ever connect to. That was a little tedious, but pretty simple.

So if you're serious about using IRC, let me know and I'll link you to an old cracked version of MIRC I have stashed on my homepage. I also think there's a pretty easy to use browser based irc for EnterTheGame also, but I can't seem to find the site URL for it at the moment. I'll keep looking and see if I can find it for you, that might be an easier option if you can't get MIRC to work properly.

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


Aha, found it.

http://enterthegame.com/chat.asp

Pretty simple to use if all you wanna do is "ocassionally" chat with us. If you wanna do it on a more permanent basis, I'd recommend MIRC instead.

Anyway, just go to that page. If it says you need to install Java, then install it. Once you get Java installed, you'll have to close the browser and reopen that page again for it to start properly. Once it starts loading, on the bottom line you'll wanna type "/join #btr", then it'll connect you to the BTR channel. Once you do that, you'll wanna type "/nick (whatever name you wanna use)", otherwise you'll show up as something like "WebETGUser541".

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


Yea i definatly hope to see you at dega.
As far as irc is concerened, basically its a big chat room we sometimes call a club house. Alot of times we actually have as much fun talking about the race after the race. It can even launch my nascar game for me aswell. Alot of times we get together and all decide to hit the server for some piddling around. Once you try it you'll be hooked.

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


Well it turns out I may be going on a trip with my dad Thursday Morning- Late Saturday Night so if that is the case and it does happen I probably won't be at Talladega or the Saturday Night Showdown. Todd will still be racing of course which is great so my next race would probably be the Tuesday Night Trucks at Darlington next week.

Hope you all have a nice week, and Focaler I'm sorry about the things I said, You really do seem like a hell of a guy, Uncalled for on my part and I'm ready to put this behind us and have some fun going forward. I'll try to download ISC sometime this weekend also.

Take Care,

Jeremy

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


Stats, schedule, standings, and race results updated finally.

This weekend is Citrus County. Gonna be another pretty odd track. I'd recommend anyone racing in this one get there early enough to get plenty of practice out of the way. The track itself ain't so much of a problem. From when I tested it out doing some admin things before the series started, it seemed like the pace car did it's job correctly unlike the pace car at the last paved track we did. Pit road is the odd part. It's on the OUTSIDE of the track. It's also pretty hard to see where the entrance to pit road is due to the banking of the turns. If I remember right, the entrance is located right between turn 3 and 4 and the only indicator to show where it is is a single orange cone on the front corner of it. Under green, it could prove to be a little dangerous. The track has tight enough turns that speed shouldn't be TOO much of a danger to someone slowing up to pit on that high line, but you never know. On old tires, someone taking the high side might not be able to steer it clear of a slow car. Merging back onto the track is in the middle of turns 1 and 2, so you might wanna be a little cautious there too. Other than that, not much to this track. It's super short and probably one the slowest in the series. Top speed may just barely break 100mph. Probably gonna be HELL on tires, so a good setup that doesn't drift and slide too much will be best if it stays green most of the time.

Actually, speaking of slowest track of the series... I think the final paved track of the series is Albany Raceway. THAT one should be the slowest. It's basically the same size as Citrus County, but with a lot less banking in the turns. Albany is another one with pit road on the outside portion of the track. Turns are so tight there that it doesn't even have an infield area, it's just a grass median.

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


I have Good News and Bad News:


Good News- I will be at the Talladega Cup Race. Woo-hoo.

Bad News- I will not be at the Saturday Night Showdown Race.

Me and My Dad will not be leaving now until Friday Morning, but we will be gone until sometime Tuesday but I will for sure be back in time for the Truck Series Race at Darlington. I ain't missing the Truck Race for nothing, I've had great success in trucks and Darlington is a favorite track and I enjoy the challenge of Darlington. emoticon

I have bad news and good news too.

Bad news... they just made it to where tourists are no longer allowed to buy pot at the cafes in Amsterdam.

Good news... I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.

Well, the second part ain't true. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. emoticon

Re: BTR 2012 Skoal Saturday Night Shootout Series


Well, I got me a wheel today. But so far, looks like it's about a 50 dollar hunk of crap. Thing has a very VERY noticeable dead zone around the centered position. It "works", but not anywhere NEAR well enough to make it safe to drive on a short track. It's about as reliable as Courtney Love's commitment to sobriety. So looks like I'm gonna be rockin' the keys again. Probably gonna take this piece of junk back if I can't get it figured out.
