That’s pretty cool. Love the parking trick and all the AWD action. 😯

OK… they are now forecasting snow. It’s been cold enough for long enough that the result won’t be pretty, so I guess I’m out too. 😥

Wow… sorry to hear you are still down big guy.

I’m on the fence for Thursday night. The current forecast of 29 degrees with a “feels like” 18 degrees it is going to be freezing in the back room. If it breaks 40 back there I would be surprised. (personal space heater or not…) 😎

That being said… I really need the practice and I’m losing a day next week. (I have a work function that I have to attend next Thursday evening, plus the wife is out of town next week so I have to be home in the early evening to take care of the hounds.) So… I may try to stick it out for a couple of hours right after work.

I wonder how the controller will feel in gloves. 😉

So does that mean that you might be able to get a DVD copy from Brazil, or was it only released in theatres?

It’s hit and miss. Ary hasn’t had much luck with these gears, but I have. (Although I have been running the Slot.it gears because the Challenge race rules stipulate all Slot.it parts.)

I’ll have it on DVR, so if anyone is up for it after the Challenge race we can head to my place to watch.

Didn’t we decide that the TransAm race would be first?

Oh yeah!!!

I don’t see any streaming options on Speed’s web site, so don’t forget to set the DVR!

Guys,
The “steward” (me) has just finished a detailed review of the previously reported Round 1 stats and confirmed that a bug in the software has caused the fastest laps to be reported incorrectly. Scoring was done properly in the RMS, (the fastest lap was awarded to the correct driver) but reported incorrectly by me because I used the Statistics display to compute them by hand.

I have reported the bug to the author of the software who has confirmed it and promised a fix. The following link will take you to the bug report if you are interested: https://pclapcounter.winnerbb.net/t800-fastest-lap-issue-when-running-heats#3528

Here is a short explanation of the issue: When running in the race configuration that we have selected (we don’t complete laps at the end of a heat) the software is supposed to ignore the lap time of the first lap of the driver’s next heat when evaluating fastest laps. The reason for this is that when the power is cut to the track at the end of a heat and timing is paused, our cars keep coasting. Based on our average lap times we were averaging distances traveled from 10.4 to 15.66 inches per 1/10th of a second. If a racer is lucky enough to have the power cut on one of the straights where they are at or near full speed they could easily travel enough distance to trim over 2/10’s of a second off their lap time.

I have not adjusted the scoring in the RMS, as it is correct. I have simply posted the report from the RMS in place of the original file. I have also updated the summary files because they contained incorrect fastest laps for many of us.

My most sincere apology for making this error.
Brian

I’m up for a go at 1/24. It will finally get me to finish picking up the tuning bits I’ve been meaning to order.

I’m kind of itching to run a vintage F1 race too.

I just bought a Vellman 0-15 vdc 3 amp power supply from Frys for bench testing. ($79) I didn’t see an Pyramid PS26KX power supplies when I was there, however there were others. (Might save you the trip.)
