Sorry you missed it. We can run it again tomorrow night if people want to race.

Mike O. was the new guy tonight, and took the win. He raced real clean and pretty consistent. Sling had a bout of bad luck on lap one and it messed his race up early. i had a real good race til the end. i ran real consistent for the most part, with ok speed. The track was at 56 degrees, and my setup was for 78 degrees, so i just seemed off a bit. In fact, i was lucky i had another setup with a touch more downforce to deal with the low temps. Anyways, i chased Mike down for few laps, til he ran wide. i took the lead through the pit cycle, then was like 25 or so seconds back after grabbing two tires with Mike back in the lead. At first i was losing time for the first couple laps, then i started making time on him. With about ten to go, i calculated i would be able to catch his tailgate with about two to go and was looking for a nice tight race to the end, but it was not to be. i dodged a spun truck at the end and spun myself, putting me WAY back with another 25 second gap to Mike. No chance of catching him, so i just tried to stay consistent, but even doing that was tough.

Well done Mike and SLiNG!

Hey guys. I was lucky enough to get to race the other night with fx and sling. It was alot of fun and i am looking forward to meeting and racing with more of you... I do have a question though... Why no cautions? seems like if a bot takes you out.. your finished. with cautions it gives you a chance to get caught back up.. i was just curious.

Because the races are full of us nOObs.
The entire race would be run under cation.

I'm certainly up for longer races with cations.
I'd love to see a 25% race leangth with 2x tire wear and cations on. emoticon

But people would really have to be carefull and pace theirselves and realize leading the first lap isn't important enough to let a bot take you out, or yourselves

yeah, the no cautions is designed to keep the game moving. i consider us to be in a growth period and had intentioned to do things differently from one stage to the next. i am sure we are ready to start doing races with yellow flags also.

i think it would be safest to basically do the wednesday races as is, and perhaps the same track with different settings, as in yellow flags, longer, on a different night.

i'll give it a shot tonight.
