Would like some open wheel action, see how it goes, still unsure if I'll lay down cash for it...takes a lot of patience to master.

Grim has taken to it better than me, I'm only running lime rock in consistent laps of 1.09 to 1.12 or so.

molc, you raced too early! I've only been running the practice sessions, trying to get my times up to race competitively, I reckon a 1.04 on lime rock would be well enough.  Also, it's very useful with a few on the praccie track for learning how to deal with traffic.

syco, I think "some guy" has to check his email and do all the promotion codes in a manual batch. 

Yeah I thought I was ready. Was about .5 - 1 second off the pace on the oval so thought it would be fine. Boy did I get a suprise when there was 10 other cars on the track! II just paniced and made a mess:)

Cully, got a lend of one of the xbox wheels so I have that at least.

Might take another go later i nthe week on lime rock. I prefer the car and track to the oval. Plus, I'm safer:P

knocked another 3/4 of a second off my best time at limerock  starting to sort out my corner entry speed and exit sorted now

no, you can race on the 5 cars included.  you just can't race without practice.  join  some praccy sessions on lime rock in the solstace rookie car.

Am i right in thinking apart from Tony you guys that joined up are Robert Byrne [Grim] , Paul Cockburn [Molc or Syco]  ?
I might join yas in some solstace practice later if anyone on.

Just wait till yas get promoted to Skip Barber,this is when the real fun starts in anger.
I suggest you run time trials or races so you get your SR above 4.0, that way you will be promoted to advanced rookie when its promotion time, which is pretty soon i think.

If you go with time trials just be clean with 0 incidents and your SR will improve, speed is NOT an issue while time trialing for SR.
Its only an issue if your looking for TT rating, this is not needed to climb up the classes so stick to clean laps if you can.

If you decide to race to work on SR then dont qualify and jsut join races at back of grid, take it easy and run a clean race.

SR gain/loss in a race is at a far greater rate than time trials so if you feel you can run clean without too much risk to others then i recomend some races.
Get your SR to 4.99 which is the max then you can really have a go in races as you will never lose enough SR in a rookie race to drop you back down below the magic 4.0

Aye they are small for the small cars, wait till you hit the large ones and the super speedways.
Nothing like racing 220 mph  inches apart while you wrestle with the 800 horse power Impala SS COT.

Added you to friends Colm

Yes mate run the full time trial session.
Use your F1 screen to watch how many laps you need complete for a full clean session.
Its tedious but the safest way to gain SR.
Normally there wouldnt be a need but 2 or 3 weeks back the rookies got promoted so rookies are due promotion again very soon.
The rookies get promoted every 4 weeks where as other classes is every 12 weeks.

syco would be Jerry

Aye. Will be racing again on Sunday. Busy between then and now, drinking, getting ready to drink, etc
