In reply to racerfink:
Oh, OK. Thanks. I haven't been uploading my "tuned" cars to the garage. I've got so many credits that I just buy a car offline, throw on the legal parts, and upload it untuned.
Aside to GLIGTO: I haven't uploaded any for Honda Challenge--with a couple of days before the race, I still think you'd do better just following the build on p1 and tuning it out yourself.

Got it, no problem. I followed the guidelines on page 1 and my Prerude is ready to go :)
Been playing around with the del Sol, and have to say it's a bit the opposite of the '99 Civic, it's fast on the straights, but it don't turn too well. I think I may go with one of the Civics for tomorrow's race; it looks like I'm around a half second quicker with those two than with the RSX, and around a full second quicker than with the Prelude or Integra. del Sol for me is about the same speed as the RSX around Infineon.
Okay, I am signing up.
179, 99 Civic for me.
Edit: Dammit, I am broke until friday and my xbox live expired today.
There is a system update for XBox live when you sign on. It takes about five minutes, so you might want to sign in early tonight.

I hear ya on the broke until Friday part, luckily my XBL Gold status is good until December.
Week 2 Results
1st - racerfink (from pole)
2nd - mutantracing1 (started in last place!)
3rd - LainfordExpress
4th - Griffin729
5th - SHODOGG 54 (1st timer)
6th - Deluxe (1st timer)
7th - Switchblade (he's keeping the body shop in business)
8th - Jrose29 (rolled before Turn 11 and had to retire)
9th - Krank00t (rolled on the uphill to on Turn 3, forced to retire)
10th - SPDEN (also rolled?)
Quite a bit of attrition this week; the battle for second/third was a real dogfight with four cars mixing it up at different times until mutantracing1 ran away and hid, securing third. Jrose29 balled his car up in the wall and eventually LainfordExpress was able to chase down Griffin729 to take third with a pretty cynical overtake in 11 with one lap to go.
Posted the remainder of the schedule. Please note I added a sixth race and we are going to pass on pit stops for the rest of the series.
Sebring Short? Ugh... Why not the full track?
Cynical? I don't know, but there was good use of lag and lapped traffic.
Sunset Club? I have to say I prefer the full track. Forward or reverse.
The full track for those makes for a short race laps wise, and is a lot of space for people to go and hide. I just thought the shorter tracks might box us in together a little better. Plus, I've noticed we tend to use the same tracks over and over.
Maybe replace one with Motegi West (or is East the longer of the variant tracks?) and the other with Maple Valley?
Or just keep what we have?

I dunno, I just felt I could've pulled it off a little cleaner by being patient, I tagged you a little bit a little before the apex and nose my way in. I was a little desperate because a couple laps before I'd been right on your bumper and then let you open the gap back up and I didn't want to waste what I thought was probably my last chance at the position.
Yeah Motegi East is the longer one there. Maple Valley does sound fun though.

I LOVE Maple Valley so I def. vote for that one :)
So, my series of tubes had a little too much email and videos dumped into it this week apparently (its not a big truck you can just dump things on guys, c'mon). So I may or may not be able to host or even be online tonight. You can procede without me at your leisure.
Not sure when I'll be on. MS has been downloading for the last 15

I saved the race replay. Not sure what to do with that other than hang on to it. For posterity.
Lainford, we missed you dearly. FGC thanks for hosting!
You can put it on your storefront, or even gift it to Fried. He was looking for the replay.
Just realized I may miss Sebring due to the fact that Assassin's Creed III comes out that day.
So, are we on? Sebring Short?

Man, an evening Pre Cal class has been taking up my racing time with you all, ah well, school first. Thank you all for paying the taxes and I am doing my best to give you all your money's worth! Thank You for my VA Voc Rehab Program that is getting me a good degree!
Gonna be almost impossible for me to be on tomorrow night. Basketball season is starting up, and we've got the late game.

You won't be missing much. I strongly dislike this track.
