sears

[fireman79]

hey all, we are running sears with normal right? also, what kind of times would be good. i think it is a 28 lapper so are the runs gonna be 9,9,10 ? or 7,7,7,7 ? i know some of this may be top secret info but thought i would ask. thanks,
this points battle is heating up! i think lepage will win the league but it is sure fun making a run at it. i had a good lead til i took a week off and somebody named firewoman had a rough night for me. anyway, i have enjoyed the competition.

ROAD COURSE FRED will be pitting every other lap to repair damage.

I will be doing lap times of 1:11, Lepage will be doing laps of about 1:18, ( or do I have that backwards? )

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!

Let's just put it this way..."Front Row Fred" does not include "Road Course Fred."

[fireman79]

with all running the same setup, what is the secret to going faster on these road courses? corners? Line?

[lepage71]

I really have no idea about these road course races on normal. Just stay on the track with all 4 wheels and do the wide swings into the turns to get a lot of speed on the exits.

WHAT??????? i thought we only had to keep 3 wheels on the track!!!!!!!!

[scrooluice]

crap...I thought it was two!!! now I have to change my whole driving driving style (and I should actually make this race!!!)

[fireman79]

i think he means TO GO Faster you need to keep all 4 on track. the rules are Keep 2 on track minimum though

looks like last year, N2TONY20 put a spanking on the field at sears in my 20 car. was that a good race?

what kinda times do we need to get here? how fast is everyone? im getting 1:11's and 12's since we arent allowed to cut the course, lol.

last year was a good race, i was gaining on Tony UNTIL i hit the wall right before the sharp right-hander turn 4 head-on ..i limped to that 2nd-place

yes the rules are to keep 2 tires on the pavement, i was just generalizing about not losing your car to the sand or something, lol

just to avoid confusion: the definition of a "Cut" is when three wheels leave the driving surface...we PREFER that you keep all 4 tires on the track at all times, however, if 2 tires touch the dirt we won't worry about it

the rumble strips are considered part of the track / pavement

we won't be penalizing guys the instant that all 3 or 4 tires go off of the track, like some auto-slap clown machine ...we try to look for blatant cuts or if the driver's line causes them to do this lap after lap
