Hehe thank you I don't drink anyways so I'll be alright for the next race

Any screenshots? Won't be at my gaming rig until Friday at the earliest, but I wanna see!

I'am requesting the use of Jim McElreaths Eagle for Milw.

Damn wanted that one since last week but obviously I'm a bit too late now.

Mid 26 seconds on the hotlaps now, I will have to find some more speed.

Are these times from 2 flyings laps ?

Does 2 flying laps mean the fastest lap of 2 or the average of 2 laps ?

Fastest of the two, same as we did at Trenton.

So my car is available, IF I can get my wheel issue sorted out, I'm still gonna run some practice laps. So I MIGHT be able to help whomever Dan hires to drive in my absence.

Well, your help would be gratly appretiated.

Which means Ill drive this race (as it looks now).

Looking for some driving/setup help. 72-Eagle-Offy I've looked through most of the posts in this forum. I believe I understand the philosophy of driving on an Oval. After a session yesterday and one today and over 100 laps I can do consistant 29-30 sec. laps and thats it no faster. I went into garage -basic and set grip to its highest setting and set balance to the understeer side. The car does not want to turn in unless I
stand on the brakes for a good three seconds. On the front straight I'm off the throttle and full on the brakes just a little past the st/fin line. I've watched a few other cars do laps and I don't see them have to brake for as long or as early.

Also how do I chat. another driver said Hi and I couldn't reply
Thanks

I am certain Jason White might be able to help you out with the setup/driving side of things Bob, he helped me quite a bit with improving at Oval driving (I'm still not fast but at least consistent).

As for chatting:

If you are on track, the default button for chatting is T on your keyboard (if it's the same as for me) and then you can write what you want.

Otherwhise it's on the main page in the "in Server" thing if that makes sense. I can't remeber what the page/tab is called but when you join the server it begins on that page every time. Make a note of that and you'll be good to go chatting
On that page the chat is in the bottom left, the gray/black rectangle, left click on that if you've clicked somewhere else and then write.


I hope this will help you

I would also ask the advice of people running similar equipment

I have a setup for the #34 Eagle for Milwaukee. I can email it to you.

I got Bob's email address...I sent three setups to him. Should be good baseline for him.

I believe the more powerful cars will have a difficult choice here, because 1000 HP is a bit too much, but using the race boost (90 inches) you are 50 HP down on the qualy boost from the 950 HP in the regular Eagle 72, McLaren etc. But I believe at least Ludo should be happy here, as this track will suit his Chevy Eagle quite well

You will know how we have felt during qualifying for the past 4 races then!

I agree, the #23 Chevy powered Eagle could fly here with its better drive ability.

Well I made my car choice very carefully considering the schedule. I hate the Parnelli chassis, but there are so many superspeedways that I wanted the extra juice in the engine Now at the short ones it's time to suffer and pay for that

Could suit also the Foyt.

Sadly I've no time until Friday at best to ride. Not sure I'll be there for the race as I've got a real trouble to train.

Well if you don't think you will be, let us know as I'm sure there is plenty of people who would like a drive for this one off race.

Will only know it on Friday. Sorry for the delay
