I won't sign up for something I might not be able to do and risk faceing the wrath of the ADMIN.
Sam

Thanks Sam, no problem in your case, it is understood. There will be no Admin wrath for racing club events, you just join if you can. However, it is possible that if there is extremely small sign -ups, the event may get cancelled.

Hope you can make it too Evo. :wink:

That was bad luck Sam, you were the fastest too.

For the rest of us it was a mixed race. After about 10 laps or so, Evo was complaining about people not waiting and regrouping, even though three of us had already waited once and at that time, Ben and I were again driving extremely slowly down the straight and waiting for others to catch up. He and Szabo then decided to quit leaving only three of us to race. Well the three of us had some great fun, lots of side by side racing, lots of waiting to regroup, and of course lots of spins.

Unfortunately it starting to look like the death nell of GTL here, but thanks to Ben and Hans for continuing on and helping to make some fun for us. :thumb:

 

[Hans Sneep]

I am always very serious when it comes to drive a race get some training before to find a good setup an learning the track, then comes raceday(evening)
and go practicing with the guys see that i am at least 4 sec slower,than there is a guy who said "I have a good setup, try it" Thanks Sam I was 3 sec faster, that makes me happy,Qul. was last on the grid but the starts are getting better(ask Warren) sec corner was crowded and I lost my car a bit Ben hits me and went of track sorry Ben but he was ferry fast and get me.I let him pass ,
after that it turn in a strange race lots of chatting over waiting and regrouping,in race I am not able to go chatting because I am of track immediately,after that a few guys left the game and only Warren Ben and me stay on track we regroup a few times they are much faster then me but to stay behind and look there driving gives me learning time and that is what I need to improve my driving,thanks for that Guys so it makes a good race night for me....

See you next time,Hans

hi guys.warren we were only six at this race. on the first corner i hit ben by mistake and he spun. i waited for him to pass me again and then he crashed with hans while trying to pass. then i started chasing you and sabbo and after 10 laps got real close. then sabo and you had a coming together and i passed both of you. i could have cruised to the finish but that is exactly what i didnt want. i wanted to have a good, close and fair race like we had in previous races. because of that i suggested that we will regroup and race from there. mind you i wasnt compleining i just wanted to have a better race to all of us. so u and ben passed me and went away.then sabo quit .i waited for hans but then you and ben took off. there was no point for me to continue the race' because u at that point were too far and that is why i quit.
any way i for sure will keep on racing gtl and i hope that we can leave this race behind us and move on to knock hill maybe with the 70s cars?

 

[Szilárd Szabó]

...He and Szabo then decided to quit

sorry guys, i turned the chat in car off and realyl dunno what happend, just saw cars slowiing down, thought we restart or something thats why i jumped to the pit, then out.

Tha race anyway was quite good, but thanks to the last minute car chanage for 911 my setup wasnt perfect...smoked the tires in every corner i was 2nd and kept the pace wuth warren's 906..so if i dont misundertood the situation - or turn on the incar chat - im surely stay for racing.
CU next time..im hardly wait the night race in montreal. We will have this track in the upcoming championship, so i need the experince

 

[Ben Tusting]

Warren i was the quickest guy there i took pole

 

[Warren Dawes]

Warren i was the quickest guy there i took pole

:doh: Sorry Ben, I forgot about you changing to the Pantera at the end.
Sam was certainly the fastest until the very end of Qualy.
Anyway, it was Sam's birthday so lets give him credit for his speed.

 

[Warren Dawes]

A couple of screenies that Ben and Hans might enjoy.


Well hello big boy. :wink:

Only a few laps to go and you could throw a blanket over the entire fileld.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I was only joking
