What exactly do you do? I was assuming it something with your state DOT from you talking about trucks before.

I don't know about dropping competitors out every week but I like the idea of dropping your worst race(or missed race) out of the points race. So there are 10 races and only 9 can count. I just thought that would be cool because so many people miss atleast one race. But we could always just stick to the same ol, same ol.

That's what I was thinking too. This is how our autox region does it. I wasn't talking about dropping competitors; only if we did the DRAG race thing. Just thought it could be a cool little post-race-race that would be optional and would only take a few minutes, since most folks stay on for a while after the main event anyway.

Chemical factory. I deal mainly with non-hazardous outgoing product, but there are exceptions. If you really want to know, all you have to do is ask via PM.

I'm privately contacted if that helps you understand a bit.

That's an xbox live "champagne room" membership only deal though, isn't it? I remember trying to purchase it and it wouldn't let me.

Another update, I'm actually "friedgrncorrado". Spelling out the whole thing was too many characters for a gamertag.

Sorry, I got on this thread late. I should be up for most races. October 27 I'll be home, but busy hosting big Halloween party. Bummer too because I like Road Atlanta. Since, I haven't played around with any other builds since the last series; I believe I'll be sticking with the same Mazda 2.

So:

Griffin729 #27 Mazda 2

I just hopped off. Thursday night football. I have gotta watch the mouth breather Manning, he's on my fantasy team.

I busted out a 1:47.3 so far in the 2. I think the Fit and the Fiesta are going to be the cars to beat here.

It might be "hallowed ground", but it's still a Roval. HP will rule. I'll be no threat, I haven't run the place very much.

I'd have jumped in here if I wasn't having issues with connecting to other people......

I might of missed it, but you could always add in a dump of your lowest finish into the championship.....then if anyone has major issues and can't make an event, you've got an allotment for them. Most series I've ran did this

Yeah, that's what we're talking about doing. I'll go ahead and make it official on Page 1. Fun getting my ass kicked last night by racerfink and bootsy last night (no, I'm not being sarcastic - it was fun.) Thanks for making me a little faster dudes! I am somehow consistently 6 seconds slower than racerfink regardless of the track. If I'm in front of him in the random grid, I pretty much just go ahead and get the berkeley out of the way right from the start. Sorry I held you guys up through turns 1 & 2 at Motegi last night

Scooby Dooby Doo, I got some berkeleying work to do!!!

Hahaha!!! Yeah, Bootsy is friggin' fast. He whupped me on the hill when I raced against him a little while ago. Didn't matter what car, he mopped the floor with me.

Anyone going to be online tonight practicing? I am trying to adjust to the Fiesta's right-hand drive setup, and it is making me batty. I may have to change cars just because of that.
