Opel Speedster Open!!!

Coming this Friday evening, March 23, 2012 at 7:00 EST Parcells presents to you the Opel Speedster Open. Not quite the extravagant event the Lotus Cup was marketed as but the Opel Open promises to be very similar. Same flexible rules and prize for the winner just the car and tracks have changed.  This is not an invitational event (we’ll do one of them some other Friday) but if you’d like an unsolicited invite on Friday just let me know.

Total lobby points is declared the winner after the below 6 races are run (roughly 12 minute races). Everyone uses a stock Opel Speedster (no tunes/upgrades allowed).

Practice starts at 7:00 pm EST and the official event starts at 7:30 sharp. In the interest of efficiency, during the Lotus extravaganza we collectively decided to include the practice race points towards the overall winner points. That may or may not happen again.

Limited damage will be on and the race start will be reverse lobby points all night (most lobby points at back of every race). No cautions.

You are encouraged not to practice for this event so as to not have an advantage over the kind and gentle host. That said, someone needs to step it up and put sWhite in his place. He’s been advertising his Lotus domination all over the Internet last week and unless I’m mistaken I think the Top Gear guys are expected to bring it up “in passing” during this week’s show. Parcells can’t beat him so maybe Assassin needs to show up early – or I’ll restart the room if needed.
