Salute one and all, I posted this early as Ill be gone all weekend and wont be home til Monday.
If you cant make any of the scheduled Coop times, drop me a PM and we'll figure out a time that works well for you so you can have recorded a run....

Practice server should be up no later than Sunday evening, many thanks to Tiger.

Im off to go kill some fish.

time to get me some racing skins (adds horsepower)

Yes, stripping off all that old repair paint and having a clean and thin paint job makes a huge diffence. A pin stripe or 2, while extra paint weight is easlily off set by the speed gained.

This is a full to the floor race on a huge and gentle track. All told, this is a 28 minute race so the best engine manager at the far edge of the overheat envelope and who picks the best overall lines will win for sure.

Smokin wants to mke a few track recordings for some promotional material.... so........................... if you are on tonight around 11pm eastern and we havent found you first, come join us. Smokin will make you famous.

Gashed open the top of my stick hand!! Went to the emergency room and had it stitched up but I really can't grip anything right now so I may not make it for the recordings tonight in Burma cup. will try but not sure how I will do. Wish it would have been my throttle hand. it would not have been as bad of a deal. We will see how it's feeling by later tonight guys. sorry

[Decker]

Do we have times for 7/30/2010 yet? By the way BigO that was a hell of a race and major fun.

[Warren]

They are posted, great race to stat the series off!! BigO flew a fantasic course and took every corner tight holding Decker at bay.

[ScrewBall]

congrats, BigO! Looking forward to the next course.....*grins evilly*

[Decker]

Will be there again this evening for another shot.

Will have my buttons fixed this time. Last race I had duel buttons set up for prop pitch and dropped my prop pitch multiple times to under 45%. DOH!!!
not making excuses. just pointing out my own faults.

Its all about the fine print.
