Title: The final 100 brought to you by SpazzStick lip balms
Post by: RoninTuna on November 01, 2013, 05:51:16 PM: With GT 6 scheduled to be released on December 6th I think a night before warmup session/send off party could be time well spent. That said, Lets break out our little itty bitty low budget race cars and be off to a time honored race track considering that soon, you will be starting fresh on GT6. No 20 million cred budgets and no Mr. Sulu to grant you warp velocity on command. We'll take our race modified Cappuccinos out to the Gran Turismo mainstay Raceway at Grand Valley for a final hundred miles of GTfivelieness

Post by: dlrws6 on November 02, 2013, 09:32:59 AM: Sitting Duck #27 still in basic white I think.

Fitting that the first race I hosted in GT 5 used the rm crappi and the last race I'm in, being the same. I'll use the same car for this, bought in the first few weeks of GT5.

I plan on taking that Friday off, just so I can fly into GT6 hard, right off the bat.

Post by: dlrws6 on November 04, 2013, 12:16:48 PM: I may have one little hiccup. I forgot that I have to attend a seminar on the 5th. It's a 100 mile drive oddly enough. I should be home in time but there is a tiny chance that I'd miss qualifying.

Post by: Wolfpack987 on December 04, 2013, 12:14:22 PM: I was looking forward to this event but, and I hate to say it, I have to withdraw my entry. Just realized that the race coincides with a good friend's birthday dinner party.

My apologies.
