SupaTuna GT Presents:    The Twenty-fours Tires of Daytona (Road Course)



Pick your choice of :
'05 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX  GSR (Race Modified)
'05 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi  spec C Type RA (Race Modified)

Any and all tuning is allowed but may not exceed 579pp. Then slap on some Racing Soft tires and you're ready.  

Racing will be held in an OPEN Lobby and will start promptly at 3pm EDT.  The lobby will open at 2:30pm and Qualifying will begin at 2:45pm.  After qualifying do not leave the pit area or you will be placed in the back of the pack instead of your qualifying position.  

You can plan on pitting at least 5 times in the race; maybe more based on your driving style, but definitely at least five times.  All driving aids will be disabled.  False Starts engaged.  "Race for Real" mode.  Heavy Damage.  Heavy penalties.

Still you can expect some very goos times as we race around Daytona Road Course for fifty laps (178 miles).  Also also, there will be prizes for the podium finishers.  

So grab some faulken tires, or any other kind of tires you choose and let's race!




This event is brought to you by upChuck Enterprises (what's upChuck?) and the great folks at PRDC-GB HQ.

There will be no CAUTIONS or race restarts.  

And with Heavy Damage and Heavy Penalties in play, Charlie's recommendation is take it easy on lap 1 - especially on turn 1.




Normal TUNA Wrules and Wrinkles:

Race Fast!  Race Hard!!  Race Clean!!!  Have FUN!!!!

Our event participation guidelines are very simple. We ask that all drivers race hard, fast and clean. Participants should control their cars as if they owned them and avoid in-race contact with others. If your actions disturb the forward progress of another driver we ask that you pull over or slow down and allow the other driver to regain his position ahead of you. Have fun!!!

My Subi will sport Kum-ho tires!


 

Also, is it racing soft only or any racing tire?

Figured folks might ask...

Any tires work. But trust me on this; you will still need to pit at least five times.  :mwahhaha

Falken, ay!  I hear you, Dude.




Kum-ho tires are very nice...  Though I had no idea of that when I first saw them on my RX8.  I thought they were a knock up, er, uh, off or something...




Even tooling around in a set Toyos is acceptable.  They look like they would heat up just fine.

Endurance Racing is part of our original Tuna heritage.   It has been part of Tuna genetics since the very beginning.  I hope you can join us for what promises to be some really goos times.

I would really really really really like to do this but I don't think I can make it happen.  I have a rental house that I've been working on updating since my last tenant moved out.  She was a fucking slob so I'm replacing pretty much everything, new paint throughout, new floors in every room but the kitchen and bathrooms, carpet in the three bedrooms, new kitchen cabinets, and cleaning throughout, not to mention fixing the broken window and everything else that doesn't seem to work quite like it used to.  

My stepdad is helping me, so I'm working on the house at both times when I'm free and when he's free.  I'm currently into my fourth week of dealing with poison oak, that set me back three weeks on the damned house because I couldn't do anything then, so I'm really really really really behind where I want to be and my stepdad wants to get the thing finished.  

So, I have a busy 4-day weekend ahead of me.  I'll be at the rental house each day, but I don't know when I'll be available...and last night was the second time I logged on in two months.  I'm rusty.

To make a long story short, I would like to and I will try to and I'm looking forward to it, but I can't actually commit til the last minute.  And, if I do show up, I'll suck and hit people and run out of gas and miscalculate pit stops and do all kinds of shit that would prevent a good finish.

Spoiler for Hiden:
Thanks, Feldynn!!!

BTW, y'all...  Feldynn was my original inspiration for this event with his recent "The 2.24 Miles of LeMons".  However, it is worth noting that y'all inspire me with attendance at evnets I put together.  It's why I try thinking of imaginative ways to keep interest going...

This is a truly limited-edition TUNA Evnet.  There will only be 16 slots available for this single race, open lobby event.  So be there promptly or your spot may be inhabited by some 'loper...



I apologize in advance to any folks who miss this event because someone else had taken their falken spot...

The wife and I canceled our beach trip, so I'm going try and make this. I must admit, no ABS is going to suck, I'm not very smooth with the buttons.  :-[
