It was fun because I'm not taking things too seriously.  Just a chance to get out for some friendly racing with a beer or two.  There was some rough stuff that I would equate to people having too much to drink but there was also a fair bit of argy bargy.  Quite a few people were just barging their way through to make a pass.

I either was too drunk and forgot I saw you there 11 or you dropped in after. I am hoping for the latter. I would concur with your description though. It is very fun, but it can get a bit frustrating at times. It seems the more shots I have the less I give a shit about any of it and just roll at the rear though. I will add that I can back you up on tires if you chose to run below the max of racing soft. It is fun to go limbo. Sports soft cool, comfort soft. Wow holy cow, lets go.

Sorry guys.

We really do try to keep things civil, clean and respectable.

Some of the newer guys just don't know what we expect out of them.  I can't see all the infractions that occur on track.  I depend on the racers to police themselves.  If however, you guys have a problem with someone, call them out on it or send me a PM.  I WILL DEAL WITH IT, I promise.

Many, many guys have said that they love this room and enjoy coming back week after week.  That is the goal, but not at the expense of the good guys wanting to leave because of someone's error.

Also, all our buzz levels are different.  By the end of the night I'm shitty compared to the guy who just joined.  Just sumpin' to think about.

My hope is, that as time goes by we will have a dedicated group that can enjoy these Saturday drunk races.  We do have full rooms.  It's just a matter of getting the right people in them.

Anyway, I am sorry you didn't have a good time.  I hope it won't spoil it for you in the future.

Don't get me wrong Boston.  It is fun.  I've spent more time in your event over the last couple of weeks than I have spent in any sim over the past few months (sad I know).  I'm just saying there were a few people who weren't driving all that cleanly.  I expect people to misjudge braking and corners after drinking but there were some who were consistently barging into corners and pushing other cars out of the way.  Just something to keep in mind.  I wasn't concerned enough to mention anything while racing but at least one other of the racers was.

DD will be held a little later tonight.

FFKowalski won't be on until about 9:00pm.   I may or not make it.  I'm feeling really shitty.

June and I get the fucking flu. >:(

That sucks about the flu.

I probably won't make it anyway.  It's my Dad's birthday party tonight and then I have to pick my sister and brother in law up from the airport.

Thanks for coming out last night gents!

Beer is the cure.  Still quite sick, but felt great last night for the first time in 14 days.

Anyway, hope to see you next week.

I should be able to make it out tonight. Provided I can get drunk enough before hand. I'll see you around 7:30 or 8. :)

Funny thing. I received an Ipad Air today from my folks. There is no way I would have purchased this for myself, it is way too expensive and I did not feel I had any need for such a device. I have only had this useless thing for a few hours and I can see how useful it can be. That is a funny thing.

This racing is exciting and fun, though sometimes I strive for more flintstone tires. Lets have some fun.

Thanks for coming out Dude.  Been a while since we have had the pleasure of you in the room.

We now have a pretty solid group who know what the one damn rule is.  Trendy, J-balls, MoreNorthThanYou are a solid group that have made DD a ritual.

Glad to have them and very happy to see you again.

As far as the tire grades go, well, I want people to stay on the track.  I have found that grippier tires make for happier racers.  I leave it up to you guys to choose what you want to run.

Just have fun!

Soks, we all miss you at DD. 

I have thought about how I can help on my end, room wise.  Sadly the room adjustments have not helped.

I hope that the upgrade helps you out, if you do indeed get it.  Like I said, we miss having you out with us.

We skipped last week for the first time since we started this 6 months ago. 
I had the annual TT with my friends at my house.  By the end of the night, my G27 clamps were completly sheared off by one of my drunk friends.  Thankfully we had completed the TT and were just effing around in a truck in the dirt.
FFKowalski is machining a set of clamps out of aluminum for the repair.  That should secure the base.  Now they can yank the wheel off. :D

We, I, really do hope to see you Soks!
