I had fun in the two races I was around for, but when I signed off to perform weight reduction on my NSX I couldn't get back into the room b/c of PSN network issues.  My PS3 took FOREVER to go from one screen to another, and then ultimately kicked me off the PSN.  I tried for 20 minutes to get back on, all to no avail.

Sucks >:(

Sorry that happened. But we did get in a few good races. Reminder to everyone that we'll be taking next week off to support Phreak's event. And then we'll be back on the following week.

There was some discussion of changing the track next time. I'm thinking Trial Mountain. Any other suggestions?

First off I'd like to apologise to Baked, I didn't realise until I was watching the replay this morning that I had accidentally put you up on the guard rail.  I felt a few gentle knocks as we went into that first turn off the line which I thought was just cars jostling for position since we were 3 or 4 wide but I didn't realise that I'd drifted up the bank slightly and knocked you onto the rumble strip / guard rail, so I am very sorry for putting you out of the race at the very first corner :(.

Track wise I think Trial Mountain could be interesting, possibly the Cape Ring Periphery too, heck there's quite a few tracks that would work well with these cars.  As I'd mentioned last night I even ran one of my cars at this spec around Rome (reverse) and it was interesting and quite fun having the tighter corners instead of mostly long sweeping ones of HSRR.  With the week off next week for Phreak's event there's a bit of time to run some laps on a few different ones and see what's good.

All the tracks mentioned sound like good candidates for a future venue.

Regarding my internet issues, it would appear that upon further investigation my roommate was streaming an episode of Game of Thrones over the internet from HBO.GO.  Dammit, no wonder I had connection problems  :(
