So far so good, early indications are that I will be able to race with you gents Thursday. I better start practicing.  EDIT: Will the server only allow 16 to race on Thursday? Thanks, W.C. |

The server will be set to the max of 28 on race night, only reason it's at 16 is because that's the default when the server
is restarted after other events.

Looks like i am home for Cobra fun thursday! Huzzah ! Nice one Mark.
And at least you will know what car to take!
Don't suppose we shall see Legzy as I haven't spotted a yellow one.
I shall be there, I've not checked but I believe there is a black one with a yellow stripe? p.s. That is good news Mark, I know I sharn't be last on the grid now!  |

what's the reference time?
If you get under 2.00 you should be up the sharp end of the grid, unless of course I'm well off the pace! |

Think I'll miss this one - simply too slow here in these snakes. Do some practice at IOM for the LawrenceClemoMemorial on GTL next week instead  |

Well was enjoying that, having a bit of a sophisticated squalble with Goldtop from the start... but during lap 5 or 6 everyone disappeared, then came back & quater of a lap later I was booted. Pleased with mid-pack qually, having to learn car/track together & was bringing my race lap times down nicely too. Ah well, next time  |

Really couldn't drive these cars at this track. Wish it was the older layout Let Quicksilver bash me around for a bit then quit out. |

One of my favorite cars. First time for me to use the Cobra 289 in a league race I think. I had to learn the track, and I like it. I was behind Alex from the start. I was rear ended going into turn 1 on lap two, and was pushed sideways into Alex. Sorry about that, I was just along for the ride at that point. No damage was done to my car. I was able to get past Alex and Robert Beck (Robiker), and I finished 11th place. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks Phspok and to the admins and moderators for a great race. Congrats to John_W, Clive and Mogget for finishing on the podium.
Cheers!
Walt
Good race everyone - Especially Alex and Robert Beck. It looked like the three of us had about the same pace.

Very tough race and not a car that suits me at all. Had a bit of a bump from behind off the line which lost me a few places, but then settled into a nice battle with Legzy. Gained a place back when Ed ran wide and I followed Legzy through up the inside, then a few laps later Legzy disappeared and returned right in front of me giving me a bit of a shock  Did the same thing again a few secs later and I hit him and went off track, but just held onto my place as I rejoined  I had a very close battle with Geoffers where I had to withstand a lot of pressure before he made an error and then a similar battle with Ed until he spun on the penultimate lap. Finally lucked into another place when MJ had a mishap leaving me in a better than expected 6th |

...
battle with Ed until he spun on the penultimate lap...
I spun because I was so annoyed when you pull "Schumacher" on me ... but that`s racing. Not easy to swallow that you need to lift off on home straight and start all over again from the other side ... Anyway, not my car, not my race track so 8th place is OK for me. |
