Nice. Another good hour long race. I still haven't turned a lap in the S2000. It should be good.

And for anyone looking for lap times, expect Q laps to be between 2'15 (estimate) and 2'19 (witnessed GT-R). There is potential to go a bit better than that (NSX Type S '99). We'll see how we can do on Wednesday. Also, that's a big time gap, but it's a long, hard track, so not too surprising.

I saved "my best" race for last considering where it was. So many places to kill your race. I almost made it with out major error, but with about 6 laps left I swung too wide after the long straight and spun.  >:( :( My almost 2 second lead over Metal and any shot of winning went up in my smoke.  :( Still, I had many fun laps with Metal which made the race much more fun than my usual solo racing. Also, I somehow beat Turbo!  ;D

Awesome race last night. Me and my Supra were too hard on tires to run with Looney and Metal. I had some really awesome laps, but it killed my tires. You two were on fire. Too bad you had that off Looney. It would have been an awesome end for you two to finish together.

Thanks for the racing Dawson and company. Hopefully we can get in on another evening/night series soon. Lots of fun.

Last night was definitely one of my worse performances, lol.  It was the perfect storm of a difficult track, insufficient practice and feeling under the weather that led to me sucking ass, haha.  I had a great time running in the front for 4-5 laps till I put a tire astray...and then spun again b/c of slick tires :-X  Either way it was fun trying to claw back to mid-field but with multiple spins hurting my tires the pit strategy of 8,9,9 just couldn't be done.  I tried to stretch the last stint out to 10 and just before starting lap 25 I knew it would be impossible.  Thus with fresh tires I laid down a best lap of 2:13.538 on the very last lap of the race  :laugh

Now, without further ado, here are the results from last night's race:

1 Metal - 1.00:11.969
2 LooneyTuna - + 9.476
3 TurboTuna -   +23.265
4 Feldynn -    +1:03.074
5 TunaPhreak + 1:16.924
6 dawson864 + 1:24.511
7 cecollazo   + 2:19.618


CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER....ME!  :-X

:dingding :dingding :dingding

I didn't intend to win, and without Ex missing the last 2 events it would have been a pipe dream!  But congrats to all the podium finishers!

1st - dawson864 - 640 pts
2nd - LooneyTuna - 635 pts
3nd - ExXboxFan - 620 pts


The entire final points standings are located in the OP.  I'll send out some "goodies" to the podium finishers.

Thanks guys for your participation; it was a lot of fun for me and I hope everyone else too (sounds like it was based on feedback).  I do plan to host another series but it won't be soon.  More likely towards the 2nd half (or end) of summer.  Lots of summer fun to be had, and I'll need to figure out what kind of fun series to churn out next!  I learned a lot of stuff from this series and will be applying it to future events, hopefully to the benefit of all.

PROLOGUE:  if everyone involved in this series would like to do a bonus race entirely composed of '91 NSXs let me know.  I'm sure something could be arranged :D
