GREAT race tonight!! Fell behind the leaders by quite a bit, but had my hands full keeping Rokko at bay. Definitely a good time both racing and the lobby chat.

FYI im running 1:30.697 at Road Am. Let me know where you all stand after you tune your cars so Turtle can figure out what reductions to take from the civic.
Fast lap 1:30.697 average lap 1:31.200

I don't think I'll do restrictions maybe invert field but all cars should be close just some drivers got it figurrd out better than others.

There's no way your running 1:30's in a B class car!! I'm guessing you mean 2:30's, LOL.

Also, handicaps should only ever be used to balance the performance of the cars themselves when we want to include a variety of cars that may not be competitive in their native state.
You are an extremely skilled racer Bush, and I will never agree to handicap anyone simply because they are faster. If I can't keep up, that's on me, and it only drives me to try and improve myself. I personally don't get upset by such things. I try my best and enjoy racing with you guys regardless of the outcome.
Without making excuses, I had little time to adequately prepare for last weeks race. Given the time to test/tune/practice this week, I'm confident my Cobalt will give your Civic a run for it's money!

I know that race one is done, but is it too late to take part in this series. I'm pretty green but would really like to take part.

Very nice video, Mako. Thanks for all your effort to help promote. That was a real smoke show first couple laps. In another thought would anybody want penalties added to fastest racers? Another thought would add group with start delayed 3-5 seconds with inverted field. Just thinking outside box but don't want to add penalties as I feel cars are very close just some drivers are better than others. What you guys think?

Well after a little tuning got Focus to 2:32.0, Cobalt 2:30.2, and a vey unhappy 2:32.4 in FR-S. Focus needs more front grip and FR-S needs to calm rear slide.

Sign me up. Going to decide which car I am going to be in now.
BTW I noticed a couple of things:
That Hyundai Veloster Turbo is '13, not '11 in your first post.
Not sure if you meant to post this photo or got the wrong name, but...
This is a 2008 BMW M3.
This is the 2009 BMW 135i Coupe.
Just trying to help is all, bud!

Im cool with that. Just ran 12 laps... times are between 2:30-2:31 (civic) on limited.
Rokko with a minor gear change the FRS ran 2:30.938 I think it can do 2:30.500 replay in stoerfront.

Race 2 is in the books and great time was had. Thanks to everyone who showed up. Many good battles was had throughout the race and again a very close finish between Mako and DB at Road America will make this memorable with .192 the difference at the line.

Thanks for letting me run with you guys last night. Had a good battle with Blooz or Bush I think it was for 3rd (sorry my memory sucks). Congrats to team member MAKO for taking first! At least I tried to keep up with you for the first 8 laps or so!
Look forward to next race.

Good race last night guys. Great to have you back on the track with us Blooz! Awesome battle with DB once again. Looking forward to next week. Hockenhiem should be very entertaining.
