Weird tonight.
Ok, there are three options. 1. It was a rain out. We run Phoenix again next week. 2. It was a rain out. We skip Phoenix and move forward in the schedule. 3. We accept the finish order in the email EA sent me which is Fazeo, Web, Kevin, Ted, Jason. It shows Kevin DNF, but also above me and Jason which it lists as 4 and 5 so Kevin had 3rd. |

Not much to say for that race other than Argh! :(
I enjoyed that track, though, so I'd be up for a replay there. Grambo, if you are using any assists at all, you should really consider ditching them. Nothing has made more difference for me, PPs and tweaked setups included! I don't believe you need to spend much time at all on setups, though. Tonight, for instance, was the first time I put any laps in at all at Phoenix, and I only hit the track at ten minutes to 10. In that time I ran maybe a dozen laps, and made some very basic tweaks to the setup slider bars. (I think I moved a total of three notches combined.) I qualified first, and was running some really quick laps. You certainly don't need to put in much time, and my setups tweaks usually only give me time differences of right around a second. Anyway, I hope you stay involved. I really don't think anyone here NEEDS to win, and I really don't think it's as hardcore as you think it is. |

Did the email send you points, Ted?

I wouldn't mind running it again next week - Phoenix was much more fun than I expected it to be.

It does not, but it does show laps completed and laps led. We could easily construct the points. I'm glad you pointed out that you are tweaking with the slider bars. When we qualified I had my fastest lap ever at Phoenix at 28.808 and you still out did me with that 28.7xx. Goes to show how easy setting up the cars can be. I only get into the detail setup because I find it fascinating. |

I WANT TO KEEP THE RESULTS! I MAY NEVER SEE 3RD AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW IT HAPPENED!
You guys know me - I don't care whatever you decide. I'm just in this for the fun. I'd better be, since I'm ALWAYS the worst driver out there!

3rd and 4th for my team? Missed the finishing order - too busy putting my umbrella up. No? Worth a try.

If Grambo wants to return to the league I'm happy to have us rerun Phoenix on 8/20. If he doesn't then I would like to create the points for last nights finish and consider it a kind of "race called after 50 laps due to rain."
Grambo, what say you? |

Sounds like a good idea, Ted. I'll enjoy racing again, or actually get a 'glitch points' night that doesn't place me last! :)

The essence of this post is why I am pissed off. First, "it's not going to happen" ..... nice attitude. For the record, you WERE four seconds ahead of me, and guess what, I had a tweaked car as well. I reiterate that when I joined this league, I thought it was about "racing", not spending hours in the shop setting all frickin' parameters. Also when I joined, we had AI cars, and that was a drawing point for me - having a nice experience closing matching a real NASCAR race, not a frickin' 4-6 car Mario Kart experience. You don't want to bend and be open minded? Then I won't either. |
