NOTES:  Biggest difference from regular events is NO ABS!  Please don't let this scare anyone away, it might take a little bit of getting used to but with Racing tires and the relative low speed cars it's surprisingly manageable but adds a bit of spice to the races (and they're supposed to be like Touring Cars ).  Changing gears while braking can help recover from / limit the lockups as can reducing brake bias, in testing I'd been comfortably running 3 Front / 2 rear on both FF and FR cars without too much problem.

I've had the flu for over a week, but I might try to make this one.

Was looking forward to this after getting a sneak preview the other night. But never could find it running before i had to shut it down for the night.

I didn't get on til later than I'd wanted to myself, finally got my spiffy new rig built (pictures should be up tomorrow ) and by the time it was set up and I could get online it was about 9.30pm EST I think.  Not sure if anything happened earlier on or not, I found Charlie in HostTuna by his lonesome and shortly after I joined a few others dropped in too, a gaggle of goos times ensued though the crowd was thin.

I definitely want to run this again though, maybe another Thursday or just on an odd day when not much is going on.  Heck I even wouldn't mind seeing it run as a points series sometime (with some minor spec adjustments if there was enough interest.
