SIP 2018 Final Thoughts

[slothead]

Slothead Racing is okay with a 3rd place finish. It turns out we love saying Bugatti.

Bugatti, Bugatti, Bugatti!

We're still in contention and ready for more races.

a little confused, the way I read it, the seed rankings are qualifying times and points are the final laps completed??

that means the Flying French tart was 2nd last on 44 laps after qualifying 2nd with an 8.2 sec lap
hope I got it right???

[kidvoltage]

Yes, correct. Qualifying times were compared against the fastest car to get a comparative factor. Then each cars lap total was multiplied by their individual factor to get their overall points value. This seemed to favor the cars that could handle all three lanes well or could run a more consistent pace.

If all things had actually been perfect than each car should have received about 44.5 laps - most did. The best were above, the lesser below.

It's a little like the old European Index of Performance.

Well, so CAT racing on the race, great!!!! :banana-dance:

:think: I know we're just a bunch of hicks from down in here in the valley but this is way to complicated scoring for us here at D&D. I guess we lost...again. :angry-tappingfoot: I can't really blame the girls for this one, obviously my mechanics need to brush up on their suspension tuning.

Does D&D stand for Dumb and Dumber?


I like the variety of race hosting methods being used - gives us different ideas on how to do things.

The teams will travel to Elra Park for a new exciting round!

The drivers must prove their values racing Nascar cars.

You can choose your car in no particular order , except CAT Racing that will take the one last left.


#9 Dodge Charger


#24 Chevrolet Monte Carlo


#29 Chevrolet Impala SS


#42 Dodge Charger


#45 Ford Taurus


#48 Ford Taurus


#99 Ford Fusion


#88 Chevrolet Impala SS

Gimme the duck please!

#99 Ford Fusion

At least we'll be insured. 8-)

[Pepsi62]

#42 Yuan Pablo Montoya, he sounds like an Aussie!!

[TuscoTodd]

The Ohio team would like to try some seat time in the Robo Racer Car!
(they figure there just might be some "Terminator" lineage lurking in there!)
:banana-dance:

[slothead]

Slothead Racing chooses - #45 Ford Taurus

Every one knows FORD stands for First On Race Day!

[vonsirius]

Slothead, the #45 was choose first By TuscoTodd, please choose another one.

[dw5555]

D&D will go with the #9 Charger.

Sorry about the mix up - I couldn't see the images when I picked and didn't know which car was being referred to as the Robo Racer.

Slothead Racing will take the #29. I assume the sponsor provides the team with several cases of candy so we can show everyone how much we love the product. Anyone got some milk to spare?
