[scottiedawg66]

practice server is UP with the new user password for 2020

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Edit: Senior Moment. I was so out of it, I didn't even look at the date

 

[scottiedawg66]

bummer man, you have until the 8th so if you get your energy back let me know.

Please see my original post above yours I'm in as long as I don't have days like I've been having. Yesterday and today are ok so fingers crossed. This will be a roller coaster ride Great combo We did it in the old Porsche 911 2.7 and it was a hoot.

Hi Scott, I keep getting kicked out. I installed v1.1.2 of the track

Anybody else has the same behavior ?

P.S. Meanwhile, I'll practice offline...

 

[Jivesauce]

Hey Scott, I have a race on Thursday I'm preparing for, but I will try to learn this track either tonight or tomorrow and join you guys on Wednesday anyway. I'll let you know if I'm not able to get it done.

I dont recall if I had 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 for the practice server, either way we will be on 1.1.2 tonight

 

[mdupuis13]

Ok good, although I might skip this one. I have kind of a bad case of left-foot-braking-itis !

I changed my pedal setup to be 2 inches higher on Dec. 23rd and since about Jan. 2nd, my left calf is in a constant state of half-cramp... it's been better today, so I'll see how it goes this evening.

Have fun tonight

@scottiedawg66 It looks like there are only 2 of us, or maybe 3 if Bobby is able to run. What do you think? Maybe push it to next week and re-tag everyone to try to get some more signups? It's a super fun car/track setup and very unconventional track layout, I can't imagine people wouldn't enjoy it.

 

[Bobby Pennington]

I'm with you @Jivesauce . Because I don't practice anymore, I'm very um-competitive and which would leave you two to battle it out and I know you really need 4-5 guys around the same pace to really race.

Btw Colin, that was a good ballgame between our teams.

See you guys next week. Thanks again @scottiedawg66 for setting things up and hosting

 

[scottiedawg66]

ok we will cancel this tonight due to low sign ups. lets chat about the future soon, I am going back to drifting IRL on wednesday nights in 2020 we perhaps a new night will help attendance and facilitate that.

 

[Jivesauce]

I'm with you @Jivesauce .

Ahhhh yeah it was so close! Ending in heartbreak for the Hoosiers, as is tradition

You guys had it. Seems like UT and UI are the same team......heartbreak express.

Sonds good Scott. Irl stuff is always better, but not necessarily cheaper.

 

[Keith_G]

Oh crap, I thought I was signed up but guess I had a senior moment. Oh well, sitting here with Team speak on and no one to talk to I even practiced but I was terrible anyway! Let's talk about what we can do for the rest of the year. Always fun to run around with you guys, maybe change of day or just a series of the same type of cars so practice isn't so necessary. Just installed Sol 1.4 and it is quite incredible. I vote for Riverside and some hard to drive Group C cars for the whole year Thanks Scott for trying

You can't have everything boy!!! Got your health and loosing your mind. I still have a chance Hope to talk to you soon.
