Well I have had a bad qualifying car move up the leader board before. So who know how you will finish. It's not always the fastest car that wins.

Oh oh, car #10 is missing, did it die???

[arroldn]

I must have overlooked it. Let me go look in the box again.

OK Found the #10 Sadco Racing and Qualifying has been update to reflect a #6 Qualifying time. Sorry Steve wasn't trying to leave you out.

Bristol?

[arroldn]

Not quite Bristol. Bristol would have been before I put the straight section in the turns. Even the real Nashville SuperSpeedway is a full turn with no straight in it. Actually drove it this summer in a former #2 COY Dodge. What a thrill. So it's a made up track. Mini Indy is the closest thing I can think of.

It's in the books.

Hey guys - if you are interested, I can set up a Google Doc spreadsheet for this series that looks very similar to the Vintage NASCAR Fun Run one without too much effort.
Just let me know. :)

[arroldn]

Steve,
Your time was 5 Min 48.47 Secs. Fast lap 3.36 Secs. A good solid 4th place finish.

Audi1 I was shocked at where your car finished. Especially after test driving and qualifying. It is a fast car but to run it consistently for 100 laps was a challenge. I gave it 3 attempts.

Since I do not have electronic timing the clock is ticking while I marshall. Deslots in turn 2 or 3 are the farthest away from the driver station.

I could re-run the race at 50 or 60 laps and the outcome may or may not be different. I'll let you guys decide. I ran a run at 3 mins and it was about 56 laps or so.

When I've run the Forums Cup I re-ran all cars until I got a perfect race with no deslots. Hard to do and takes a lot of time. But the 2014 race had a 60 lap main event. I'll do whatever you guys thinks is fair to all.

Arrold

[TuscoTodd]

Will do!
Is there a listing you guys can point me to with what the running order for the tracks from here on out will be? I think that we added both the road course here and one other if memory serves - but can't seem to find an updated posting showing the tracks / running order?
(I may have just missed it though?)
In the mean time, I will get to work on the structure of it! :)

Is Bibbster the next location or did he pull out of hosting?
