Can I suggest that at lest the rookie league race be shortened this race is a 600 mile race for NASCAR and its going to take 100 mins for the main league and about 70 mins for the rookie

lol, I predict the race not lasting half a lap with the state of that track.

This is going to be a interesting race.

WAAAAHOOOO

A rare occurrence in season 8,

A race with some tyre wear

And after a number of laps you even have to lift off the throttle in the turns.

Another dimension added to the occasion.
Thou probably too much dimension considering the strife I got myself into when I first started practising this track.

As Wide say's "This is going to be a interesting race"

Murphy's Law · Post by **Murphy's Law** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:40 pm

I say 5 restarts.

WhatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s your bet?

Mind you we have been very good of late at the start last week there were no dings before the 1st pit stop.

Murphy's Law · Post by **Murphy's Law** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 2:15 pm

Everyone will need at least the full hour to practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pit exit it tough, the pit entry is a b***h, If you touch the apron you will spin almost every time and the truck moves around allot. Even with the best setups itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s almost imposable to hold the low line and this is a dam good setup. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a hard track to get around by yourself let a lone 25+ other trucks. You will not want to be on the outside because the truck on the inside will more then likely move up the track. Its not the setup that will do that itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the track there is not a lot of grip.

Yep - this track will test all drivers.....especially when 'three wide' and the end of a tire/fuel run....

Sorry to all the guys who got up in my dingfest with about 10 to go (it seemed like half the field

). I went high to let wide through and got stuck on the wall and came down in front of the train

What happened to Team Redline???? None of them turned up.

Viking · Post by **Viking** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 12:02 am

Awefully quiet in here after alot of rippage

Pleased with my 8th spot. Managed to miss most of the dings untill the last fuel run, when I got caught up in a couple.

Thanks to BCingU for the help he gave me on Tuesday night when I was practicing. It helped me to qualify 4th, and improved the line I was running in the race.

My abscence was weather related, got called away to move stock away from flooding and missed the race. Don't know about the others.

Lots of spins in the rookie race.. qualified in 9th and moved into 4th or 5th after 20 or so laps due to most of the leaders getting taken out earlier on. Was going ok until i hear ts "your connection to the server has been lost" but i can still see dudes in front so kept on driving... 1 minute later i lost connection

was able to get it all sorted and get back into TS but couldn't get into the proper channel and only mattly could hear me.. got back into the race with 22 laps down...BUt still finished the RACE! Mattly and i both ran out of gas on the white flag

To all those who raced in the Rookie race...... THANKS for the FUN

Righto then. The weather has been shite....
Are you the man to talk to about the analysis/points from the VR league race?

Prometheus · Post by **Prometheus** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 11:19 am

Good race, I think.

Thought the first few laps was odd with a very slow race pace happening on the racing line

Missed a couple of dings by only just scraping thru with my bumper. Had one bad ding by suddenly catching an extra draft in the corner turn 2, and I lost control. As I was rolling down the backstraight, Ian I think hit me and right me up and pointed me back in the correct direction, and I was off again

But alas I paid him back horribly later by not looking in my rear mirror and pulling out in front of him on the front straight - apologies Ian, or Angus, or whoever it was.

Murph, another disco huh ?
