I got nothin yet also. I hope to get a few laps in at some point. I really like this track too. I may not try it though until Monday night. Can't wait to race again.

I'm out this week :(

I'll miss racing, but will be replacing it by drinking heavily in Colorado, where the altitude gets ya drunk faster!

sorry to hear you won't be there though.  have fun and don't get arrested. oh, and report bck if you see some white box vans full of japanese men & women taking lots of photos of Pikes Peak. ;)  (seriously, there's a guy already watching this and reporting to the PSN forum. lol)

I did some practice laps and a lonely 10 lap race. I saw lots of 1'39s and (slight guess) would not want to push tires beyond 12 laps or so. Lap 10 was getting quite weak, more than 12 may be useless.

(side notes, 30 laps should be around 50 min, 35 laps should around an hour. I don't know what the Wolfman will throw at us, but for me, those ranges result in a two stop race. There's no way I'll go 15 laps on a set of tires)

You are correct in that thinking Turbo, as I try to set up the races to be 50-60 minutes long.  I'm going camping this weekend so won't be fiddling with GT5 till Sunday afternoon.

And yes Looney I realize its not a fancy trip this time...gotta slum it every once in a while :( :P

Glad you're "keeping it real" this weekend. Don't worry though, you're secret is safe with me.  :D

wolfpack, we're doing S2000s on Saturday (GT Sats) but you may already be on your camping trip.

hopefully it will be warm enough to do some camping myself sometime soon...

(evo on unpaved gravel/dirt is always a blast.  gotta get me some mudflaps first though)

Thanks for that invite Ex but yeah I was already camping at that time.

Seems like high 1:30s are the times to aim for in this race.

I always like to err on the side of a longer race over a short one so let's set the lap count at 35 for this one.

I'm questionable for this. We're playing some ball after dinner. Hopefully we can get home by 8 or 8:30, and ready for the lounge by 9. I'll try to be there.

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm actually going out for dinner at 7pm.  But getting home by 830 shouldn't be an issue :D

hmm... turbo may be gone, and if Dawson has a few drinks with that "dinner" I may be able to win one of these again!

(ok now he won't now that I said that.... DOH!)
