Ha! Remember where you're at...

All of this talk about sigs has got me thinking again of changing mine.

I am possibly available to give this a go.

Sounds like fun. I like 4 teams of 3 though.

Wow Charlie,

That wasn't actually what I had in mind but upon closer inspection I Like It!

It would be pretty hard to get rid of the babe.

[LooneyTuna]

I really hope there are going to be sum orunge carts in this series.

Sun nights work great for me, and i would be interested in this! i'm not the best in karts, but i do enjoy driving them and i like being part of a team...sooo i'll be a "hired gun"  wherever i fit is cool with me, lol.

Ex, sounds like a well thought out concept and should make for some great entertainment.  However I'm buying a house this summer and between the move, buying shit, the occasional enduro and a few trips I have planned I just don't see myself being to commit to something like this with the kind of preparation I like to do.

Enjoy! 

[EX_stream_tuna]

thanks peeps.

I'm taking note of which day is more popular sun or mon, and will see how it shapes up.

Looney, to answer the question about kart colors...

teams may pick any identical color they choose of any shade except yellows and greens.  If the yellow or green is drastically different than the chips being used as official colors of the tour, then I may allow it.  So yea, orange would be fine!

paint chips that will be destributed to all participants, in case they want to repaint karts upon leading one of the classifications, are:

Jaune Genet (appears to be exact yellow used in TDF, and has a french name)
Lime Green

There are three official suits to be worn when leading those classifications too, but that will be posted shortly with the official rules and detailed format.

PS> if anyone wants to see where they stack up competiveness-wise, I set what I think is a really good lap at Eiger Nordwand Short-track last night.  A 1:13.6xx. (100cc kart)

updated event thread at PSN w/ detailed event format and regs.

don't be intimidated by the extreme level of detail.  most of it is there to help deal with certain scenarios that may come up along the way.

i'm going to schedule a "get to know the tour format" night sometime soon, where we'll go through some different stage types and display some of the team tactics such as "lead-out trains".

[EX_stream_tuna]

Hey y'all, I've created a host account for this event named "Tour-de-Kart" that anyone interested can add.  You don't have to commit to anything at this point, but add if interested in learning more and seeing some things in action.

If anyone is interested in stopping by that lounge tonight for some introduction to the format, please do!

If anyone is available another time, please note so here and I will try to accomodate.

[EX_stream_tuna]

DO YOU BLEED YELLOW?

things are starting to pick up w/ this event.  some teams are getting organized and the slots could start to fill up.

me - team organizer
crowlftofdmurder - team organizer

I say "organizer" because I think we both believe we could win the tour if we don't recruit someone considerably better onto our teams.  As of now we're talking about each of us having a team and seeing where that goes.  If no one considerably faster and more consistent at karts joins our teams,  then it may very well be a battle between Crow and I, which is always a nice close race.  He's the person I probably practice with the most.

SeeTheAir.com has announced the formation of a team.  I'm not sure how good these guys a re, but they seem to be creating a new club including posting their events at PSN forum's Event section.  But I think it's best to assume they will hold their own and possibly have some aces up their collective sleeve.

Will there be a tuna-based team or at least some of you interested?

I think Wiz, Metal, Leaf and Looney were somewhat interested.  What say you?

Any of you want to be on my team?  (If it's wiz, then we'd have to do some runs together and see if you'd be a better pick to win)

IF the three team organizers are successful, that means just one more team spot.

TEAMS WILL BE 3 RACERS EACH WITH 1 ALTERNATE.

CHECK THE EVENT THREAD (MY SIG) FOR MORE DETAILS AND CHATTER!

[LastLeafFan]

I'm definitely still interested. Can't do Sunday's though. Any testing going on?

[EX_stream_tuna]

unfortunately, I'd say it's shaping up to look more like the race days will be Sundays after 7pm EST

Maybe you could be an alternate? or do Sundays never work?

Fried/Brindle and I are on a team so far, and we need one more and one alternate.  I may dip into my friends list of people who are not on this site, but also want to see if anyone here is down.  If my team fills up, there's Crow over at PSN still looking to form one and one additional team spot yet to be spoken for.

A few "lone wolf" types have expressed interest with no teams.  If you post over at PSN I'm sure another team would form out of that.


TEAM NAMES:  Does anyone have an idea for my team name?  I don't want it to be something as obvious as "Team Tuna".

Team Long Line?

Team Goos Times?

any suggestions welcome  

[Wiz]

I'm still interested but Sundays are going to be hit or miss for me.  Perhaps I would be better utilized as an alternate?
