I like this track, however I have a history of getting ripped in the final lap or two, and the praccy run last night confirmed it when I got caught out one lap out. q-

When it comes to the serious version tomorrow, who knows, qualify well up and sit tight for many laps and then pray at the end.

Without inner runoff areas of any substance, accidents on the banking have the nasty habit of collecting more cars than normal as cars tend to comeback up into the danger zone quicker. Add to that the slow oversteer inspired loose on the high line, which have trucks drifting into oncoming traffic rather than jammed into wall makes it even more of a lottery.

If your lucky enough to survive all that, then you just need judge your pit entrance carefully, the lines are deceptive, but probably more important hope like hell you don't collected by someelse whose got it sideways at 100mph plus after clipping the outer wall in an over-zealous pit lane approach.

The pure chance factors, noted above are some of the reasons that Wood and others hate this track. There is skill needed also, very good drafting is essential and passing can be very difficult, especially as many different lines are taken and cars tend to swing in or out of the banked curves quite markedly, so I recommend staying glued to the guy infront and let the draft to the work or stay well clear.

Well that's my read on this beastie, like the track, easy to go fast and well when you work together, but the lucky dip aspect can be a turnoff.

Go well and have fun ;)

"Baiting?"


You ain't seen nothing yet! I intend to bring my drag net later in the day, I'll scoop up the Munsters and the Marbles from the infield where they all drove to stop and cry on each others shoulders about how it's not fair that the DuDs beat them every week and then I'll gaf the SlimTV crew and break their mirrors so the poofters can't spend the whole race looking at themselves, then I'll have the booze bus parked at the end of the pits which will see then end of the race for the "Ugly Green Car" team.


Should you even consider trying to retaliate I'll open the cage door and release........................








Oh no don't do it.........................






The end of the world is coming..............................







Stand back from the cage ladies and gentlemen, lock up your daughters, we are about to release...............

I am really relaxed about tonite. It's a forgone conclusion that Team Scrumpy will come out on top :birdies:

Well well, the things you find out about your fellow competitors :D

Not that that sort of thing worries me, hey it's a free world, each to their own. But if you feel the need to dress up in women's clothes for racing, so be it !

Do the high heels get in the way of the pedals ? :p

I love these threads, they make me lol.

In all seriousness I think the team points championship could be anybodies this season.

While the DuD's may be the strong favorite after last seasons performance the loss of an experienced driver and his replacement with a rookie has put them back within the reach of the other teams.

Scrumpy's impressive display of teamwork last week and good placing despite being down one of their drivers shows they are going to be a strong contender for the title.

All joking aside with regards to MLC, If Snake hadn't had technical problems last week they could quite possibly have had the team points lead after the first week.

SimTV, the quiet team. They don't seem to talk it up much but they're some good drivers and their placing last week shows it.

I'm also keeping an eye on Team Wasp Motorsport. If they can pick up a 4th driver they are going to be another serious contender.

With one of Marvel's drivers having technical issues and some bad luck in the first race they are trailing at the start but I'm certainly not going to write them off just yet. It is very very early in the season.

Which of course brings us to the Monsters. We'll let the points speak for themselves :D ;p :cute: :p _b
