Hope some of you guys can make it on Sunday - this track really is fantastic in the Late Model. Just to remind you which layout it is, here is the road with South oval driven in a Skippy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcRVo7DDl6E

that'll be good practice What more could you possible need Pete!? Look forward to seeing you there with any luck - been a while! Can't believe we're on round 6 already - that has flown, will be time to start thinking about season 2 before I know it!

BTW, you've all failed Oily's observational skills test - it's May 15, not Feb 15.

Hahaha the shame! Just been chuckling at Spanner doing something similar. Clearly this shows it can happen to those within even the most finely honed of organisational skills . I'll probably be doing the first round of the new ORO season in the LM @ Brands this afternoon (5pm race start) if anyone else fancies it - will stick the practice server up for a couple of hours between 8 and 10pm without a password and include a short race there too. I'll be adding the Street Stock for tonight's practice only - just want to see how they are on track together. ORO thread at iRacing - http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/1475163.pageCatch you later!

Yep - I'm second in practice right now, and have shared a setup.

Well that ORO race didn't go too well - punted off into clearways on lap 4 lol! Hope you guys had decent races. Dave I saw you and James (?) get clobbered by a backmarker early on, really unfortunate but it didn't look like it was going to affect the lead battle even if the cars did look a little secondhand - did you feel any difference in handling at all?
SERVER UP!

Yeah, that was just a bit unfortunate; Michael touched the grass, at least he took both of us out at once. Car still had reasonable pace but it took me half a dozen laps to find it again as the balance had shifted. Pity we needed so much fuel at the stop - I couldn't really pit early for repairs. As it was I pitted on the earliest possible lap but James pitted a lap later and so it ended up even stevens and I could do nothing to close the gap again.

Sorry chaps - running a little behind schedule today - should be good to go for 6pm.
Giz don't worry mate honestly, you're welcome along - I'm doing 1:06's IIRC but Dave's more likely to be your bench mark!

RACE SERVER UP!
Made a right hash of that - there's also a session using the Street Stock too, would appreciate it if you could disregard that one!
