dlrws6 is still interested... although I'm not too sure about the whole typing in the 3rd thing. 

Any one know of a good start time?

We could try to aim for the actual RL start time.  Of course I don't know what that is...  1:30ish?   :-\

That would work for me.  That would end the race just about the right time to catch the last few hours of bump day qualifying at Indy.

OK here it is my life is still up in the air. But with everything we have learned recently I want/need to stay involved.

Cautions to put simply if more than one car is involved when a yellow is called everyone races back to the start line and then does three yellow laps at 100MPH? If just one car calls caution we race back to the line and run just ONE yellow flag lap at 100MPH?

Also other than that most details short of what time are in orignal post

Also time wise personally wouls think a start at 1 or 2 eastern would work

Also also also who said bump day? There may only be 33 car available unless the Tunas care to put together a little sponsorship package for a relatively unknown driver from SW Ohio :-)

Forgot about the cautions.  We could do a short test race before the midnight show with 1 car and 2 or more car caution.

I did a little bit of half brained solo testing last night and I think 100mph will work well. I found 1 lap cautions were producing a lap time of anywhere from 1 min 20 to 1 min 30 depending on how quack I would slow down after racing back to the start/finish.  I think that would leave adequate time for the spinner to catch up.  I don't think it would allow time for pitting with perhaps thee exception (and this may be a stretch) for a tire only stop. And although I did not test a full 3 lap caution, based on my 1 lap test data, I believe there would be enough time to do a full pit stop.

Also, I have not seen the latest news but yeah bump day may be a washout. With maybe enough cars/engines to fill the 33 car grid.  :(

I just got word that my wife's family is coming over tomorrow and I will not be able to make it to the event.

I am really bummed as I was looking forward to this and had actually done quite a bit of testing for it.

It is a long weekend up here and the weather is beautiful, the pool is at 85 and the hot tub is at 104. I will be thinking of you all and will have a toast to everyone while I'm floating on the pool.

Enjoy everyone and I will try to enter the lobby to see how it's going periodically.

Sorry about the late notice but this is kind of an impromptu gathering.
