Sorry that I haven't posted the next club event guys. As of right now my gaming PC has gotten the black flag! Blue screens and restarts after restarts is all it can do now. With the help of some of the guys here on RD figured out what it could possibly be. Hoping to get my PC back up and running before the MX-5 and Skip Barber leagues start, maybe sooner. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Mark, When you have a chance check out this thread: http://www.racedepartment.com/iracing/51801-racedepartment-iracing-member-car-track-content.html

And fill out the RD iRacing Member Car/Track Content with the cars/tracks that you have. As it will make planning for future RD club events easier. Here is the link to the spreadsheet as well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...lhTEtKYU1uQ3c&hl=en_GB&authkey=CKH7zZcN#gid=0

Ok Will completed. Not much to check off other than Road Atlanta. I won't be able to make it tonight as there are purchases required that I can't make at this time. Things should free up strarting next week and I'll make more as they come. Out of curiosity how much is the full boat?

John Sydenstricker · Sep 10, 2011

I'll try to get home in time.

Eric Estes · Sep 11, 2011

I had a set, but it turns out the Basic is faster, if less stable. In any case, the following may be useful:

Approx Fuel Use: 2.86#/.46gal/2.08l per lap
Total for Race: 190#/30.4gal/138l (includes pace lap)

Approximate Fuel Window (assuming all green, with margin) Lap 26-39

Right rear to ~95% in a 20 lap run, changing rights optional. Changing lefts not needed.

Linus Broström · Sep 11, 2011

Richard Sobolewski · Sep 11, 2011

Thanks for hosting Joe, it was a violent but entertaining race. I'd hoped for better racing but after a while (I guess its always the same with super speedways) I just took it for what it was and enjoyed the pack racing as it came...some of which was awesome fun. Seems even when iR and SR are at stake super speedways are always a wild ride.

I don't know if you have any plans in the future to run any Nationwide races (maybe even a road course race?). I'd be willing to host the session if that was something that gained interest.

Thanks again Joe and RD.

Joe Hubbard · Sep 11, 2011

That was fun even though we had a "few cautions"... lol... We went to qual with 43 trucks, and the race started with 33 trucks on track. Very nice everyone, thank you for joining us!

Dazmaniac · Sep 12, 2011

I guess it's my one beef with oval racing, the number of cautions and the amount of laps spent just bumbling along behind the pace car trying to find your correct spot in the pack, whilst the service is saying pass this car, pass that car, let this car pass, pass another car, let two more pass etc.

I guess I'll always be a road racer at heart, lol.
