Sweet!!   I think

Trying to get a confirmation from Trevor, but he's moving pretty soon. So not sure he'll be there.

I don't know but I don't think that there were these killers stacks on the tracks in irl.

Well if they are, the US will solve the jobless people's problem soon enough, there will be lots of empty seats in motor racing   

Riverside Canam REVISED version

Those buried tires were there by the mid 60's. Look for Can Am videos of that time.

I placed some of these on a track once (Montlhery HSO), and invisible planes need to be placed in front of each tire, so the car touches those planes (and fly    ) instead of crashing into a wall.

Yessir, pick a car!


Edit: I will not be changing the track. It is too close to race day to do so. Unless there is a major emergency we always want people to have time to learn the track at least a week in advance.

I believe I can make this one

Thanks, I believe it's a good idea for the reasons you explained   

And I seem to have gotten the hang of it, the Cuda works marvelously there   With Tiago attending, seems like a very probable Plymouth victory   

The 92 Pontiac reports weighing in an extra 84 pounds this week. In a separate note, two fully loaded frame mounted 30 caliber machine guns weigh 84 pounds. Barracuda steaks for everyone!!  

Its funny because every track hso runs ends up being one of my favorite tracks    That is a good lap time jason, i was haulin the mail on that one to beat you. I was wondering in races with diffrent classes do you get a win if you win the race overall or just your class?

It is like two separate races. For example, in race 1 I got a win for my manly DNF with 2x DQs victory.

Oh ok thanks mike, just wasent shure because thats how it it is in modern scca, thought it was different back in the day.

I found the tires   

Tires? What tires? Didn't you see the sign at the entrance of the track?

Steel and Titanium belted radials! Rated for 10 billion miles. Just put a new car on them when it wears out.

Seems to be the style of the week.   

The time is down to the new front end, I see Pontiac are trying to copy it    Will be interesting to see what Plymouth come up with!   

Don't worry, I might get black flagged again   

Richard what HUD is that? Thats not the dynhud is it? We gotta be careful during the race threw the mined esses!!   

It's called the XD HUD I believe.

Yes, well there IS an admin command for just such a purpose. Richard comes to lap Mike...ohhhhhhh dammmmn...where did that drive through come from       (mapped to button 12)  

Speed limit in pits is 132MPH or 200KPH. You CAN hit that but no hankies/tissues for anyone that does.

LOL at the front ends
