I don't mind managing the thread, but if there's no one running, what's the point?

I think we should just crown you the winner and be done with it. :P

I bet people will join in eventually. I know I plan on running again at some point.

I ran about 30 laps and got 1'27.4xx.

well I ran 8 laps and got a 1.27.353... if I can keep it straight the whole way I should be able to beat that ;)

scratch that... down to 1'27.118. I can do the first half faster now but can't seem to hold it together for the 2nd...

Ok... 1'26.614 and I think I'm done for the night.

I'll be rejoining shortly...

You guys are killing me... the challenge ended on Tuesday, and no one but me ran it, so we don't even have a challenge right now! :lol:

Are we just going to make this one a 2-week challenge, and pick a new track next Tuesday?

Seems to make sense since you can't win your own challenge. :P

Oh, I can win it... I just can't pick two in a row. ;)

Sorry Scott. I'll quite my racing gig and straighten up/fly right. ;)

:lol: I was more commenting on Ed running laps 2 days after the end of the challenge, but if you wanna trade jobs I got no problem driving in Speed GT for ya while you write server software and race GT4 for me Thursday nights.

Though I think I'd probably disappoint your sponsors when I crash the car into the guy in front of me trying the old GT4 8 tire pass in T1 of my 1st event. :lol:

Ah... sorry scott didn't realize it was over. I finally had some time so I was excited to race. I say we make it a 2 week ;).

Yeah, no problem, let's just go on this one for one more week. I think I was the only one that ran any laps last week.

Just don't forget that the laps times don't count w/o a picture!

And I'll take over updating the 1st post if Cody's not interested.

I 2nd that make it 2 weeks. Got to run more laps

1'25.077 there are a little more room to improve. I just need a clean lap. I just know Sperry will be in mid 1'24. I can do that by drag thru the wall :).

I got a 1'25.049 but I can deffinately do a bit better if I ever get another clean lap :)

1st post updated. I ran a couple laps and all I gotta say is I can't wait to see Scott's best lap. This car is evil...but I like it. :devil:

22 laps and I'm still 10 seconds slower than you Mofo's.

It's like threading a box of needles with a chainsaw.

I bet you can go faster than that if you just stay on the gas and *try* to steer away from the walls.

Well, I ran a few more laps and got down to the 1'30's, but I've yet to get anything that resembles a clean lap.

It's just like autocross... you need to get a rhythm. Try to drive 5 or 10 laps at like 8/10 speed. Concentrate on being smooth and sticking to the line. Try to picture what the next corner coming up is while you're mid-corner on the current turn.

I bet that even driving w/o pushing hard, you'll end up setting some faster time.

I've been working on modulating the throttle better (it's not an on/off switch?) and smoothing out my inputs (epileptic monkeys got nothing on me).

So what is your time !! Sperry?

I have a feeling he's hiding a 1'23.xxx ;)
