Just got back from a 450 mile round trip to pick up a trailer, and I'm fragged, so I'm out for tonight.  Had very little practice time, so I would have been slow anyway... cheeky

I figure you all are just finishing the second race right now but I wanted to stop in and say I got back from work late tonight and had to not participate. Hope it was a blast.

I had fun last night. That track proved to be very good with these cars.

It should make for some interesting highlights.  For such a narrow track, we had a good amount of side by side and of course, the jumping!

Some where on the first race I went full Dukes of Hazard and some how stuck the landing.  Not sure how that worked.

That's not the way to drive that track.  THIS is the way to drive that track!:

 

 

You can see pretty clearly what my issue was on that corner when I took Brick out.  Braking in the grass while the left side of car was still loaded equals, right turn!

Yesterday was our anniversary, so I thought it prudent not to try to sneak away for the races...  see y'all next week!

Someone posted this on the main board.   If there is any interest, we can fully recreate this in AC.   We, theoretically could replicate the rain, but probably won't bother with that.   

OK, yes, I guess we would have to let Colin drive the Donahue AMX....

 

I am just going to put the link to the classic (1967) Watkins Glen track as a reminder:   https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/watkins-glen-1967.25951/

In reply to aircooled :

Did we do these cars very early on in the AC series?   Or maybe a one off race?

I think we just did a one off at Riverside:

Still kicking my self for taking the Mercury. It ran out of top end on the long strait in that race. Those were lots of fun.

Yeah, the standings where pretty messed up. Updated.

Looks like a close race for 2-4, 5-6, 7-8.  

I guess I should step it up to get past Dean with his HC.  I am pretty familiar with Autumn Ring.

I hope everyone is ready for tonight!!!  Should be good racing on this track however passing will be interesting and there are some areas that you really don't want to pass.

Bah!.... watch me....

I suspect we will be down a few this week because of the challenge.
