just a single race ... one that should separate the men from the boys

[slowDan]

I'll try and persuade the wife that its important!

Although the late start might do me in anyway.

22 UTC is midnight here. too late here in italy to start a 40 minutes race.

[leoantix]

judging by the responses seems 22:00 may be too late ... would 20:00 be a better balance between the new and old worlds

[theSnail .@y]

would 20:00 be a better balance between the new and old worlds

20:00 utc is a time that suits me - but you know that already
More seriously, that would be nice

2200UTC would be better for me, cuz ill get home late.

maybe i could do 2100 UTC

[leoantix]

i'd never make a good dictator ... ahh decisions, decisions, decisions ... ill just let the poll take care of it

please visit the first post and vote your time choice ... voting ends sept. 3rd @ 04:00 UTC

... to start a 40 minutes race.

[See Flat]

I was impressed to see that 100% of voters had chosen 20:00UTC until I saw there were 3 votes!

I think the first RLRC race was the same combo played at 3 a.m. European time. And I was there. It only takes some dedication (and that the girlfriend isn't home )

[pEsT]

if its 2000utc i will be there too - only to be a boy


....
maybe later - if i can't sleep

[leoantix]

keep those votes coming, less than 24 hours away

and to not lose too much sleep over this wednesday's race, after speaking with a few people lately, there may be a repeat this weekend

side note to jw barto: DON"T FIGHT THE PASS!!!

Ha ha! That's the only way I know how to not get lapped! I guess I am just not as much of a racing geek as the rest of you. I don't know what the rules are - clearly. In my mind winning is ending in front... and if that means keeping people in back, then so be it. Now I see the error of my ways. Apologies to Val and anyone else who may have had trouble LAPPING ME MORE THAN 4 TIMES!! :-)

I know I'm not very good... but when I was following Harpo there was an instance on the last turn into the long straight that he completely left me in the dust - even though we entered the turn and the straight at the same speed. What is up with that? Am I missing the secret nitrous button or something? I just don't get it.

Anyway - suppose that's why I like the ARSE races. Hell, I invented them.

Good game anyway... glad I could take part. The daughters were occupied and the wife was still at work.

Thanks for letting me hang with the Big Boys... er, Men. Hey, at least Maxwell sucks almost as bad as me! No offense Max!

[leoantix]

no worries at all ... really made no difference to my placement, yet im sure a few others may differ. all in all, still a fun race ... perhaps next time you'll let the boys pass when they honk

as far as the turn you speak of, i've learned tcc cars are very sensitive with entries into a turn ... makes all the difference imho

[DonaemouS]

was a nice race. Unfortunately, the race start was different from first try, moving my car on left row. This didn't allow me to use the faster Volvo acceleration, cause my car was just on wrong lane to make the first right corner. Also, as soon I was closing the turn, I saw the Harpo's 190 going understeer and hitting me, allowing to Alphonse and Max Damage to pass from the inside.

Fortunately, just after the first turn, Harpo did an error, and his car went oversteering, with Alphonse hitting him and allowing me to pass both without troubles. Max Damage did an error too in a couple of turns, and here I was able to pass without time loss, also.

But, unfortunately, the entire race was ruined on first lap, cause for my 1,5 seconds slower Volvo, the unique chance was stay in front from first turns.

Nothing, nor the 54,64 seconds World record allowed me to push in 53/54 seconds as average. At least, looking at the end, a 29 seconds from the faster Mercedes is really a good time.
