I'm considering dropping the road course from this set of races, The car is a train wreck there. What do yall think, Run both the Super Speedway and the Road Course or just the Super Speedway?

Tony comes from    Columbus, Indiana so Indianapolis is his home track, He ran both configurations with frequency between IRL and Nascar. That is where I came up with Indianapolis for these races.

Just giving my opinion. If the road course is going to suck, no sense in running there. You know Daytuna would be fun.

Yeah, I can't deny Daytona would be fun but not fitting with my original race concept. During my testing this afternoon running the car full out and then again at 75% power it was yielding about the same laptimes, and the car is much more managable.

Daytona is coming though....June's race is 200 laps of fun at Daytona, so....nuttin to worry about there  8)

It starts tonight at seven eastern time in my lounge. I've decided to go a head and drop the road course, This will give us several races running approximately forty to fortyfive min a pop. Keep in mind we are running the #14 Office Depot Chevrolet Impala if you don't already have it.

Not to mention he is one of the few that have done both in the same day.  Indy 500 and Coke 600.  I'll try and make this. I'm almost always in the mood to run cup cars.

Yes very true, that also played into the thought process.

Lounge is open for practice.


dlrws6, You'll have to shoot me a FR to get in.
