El_Kochino, looks like good fun.

Hi El Kochino,

I tried the car out at Infineon, seems to be a great setup for some close racing.  If there is room for another,  I hope to join you guys next week.

My vote would be for Maple Valley Full.  There's nothing like sharing a barrel roll with a few of your closest compadreswink

Work schedule screwing me again, another missed opportunity for some racing.  Hopefully I will be able to join you guys next Tuesday. 

I wouldn't have this issue if I was a real race car driver.

No worries but you are missing some pretty good racing  smiley

 

 

Reminder tonight's practice/hadicap setting @  10 pm then race at 10:30 pm

 

Note that we are looking to run 1:35's so if you are running 1:33's... well you know what to do   devil

Handicap is

0% AM

5% ProAm

10% Pro

15% Vet

 

but last month I had to add 5% grip on top to get the times close

 

I think one guy ran 10% hp and 5% front and rear grip

 

So, it all depends on the slowest guy and right now according to the seed times it looks like we are going to be doing 1:35's

That was a lot of fun last night fellas. Kochino certainly delivered on the "close racing" goal, was quite the parade of cars Parcells was running in until a few laps left when my car wanted to take a closer look at the stack of tyres piled up next to the track...I tried talking the car out of it but the Twingo was too persistent for me frown

 

Definitely worth my while to push my bed time out a bit!!! See ya next week.

The handicaps worked becuase you guys placed yourselfs accrodingly, I can't take all the credit and we did it quick as the seed times told most of the fast guys where to start so it didn't take long to get the times close.
