[Blown_xa]

[CTScott]

Sounds good. I figured out how to upgrade my car, so hopefully this time I won't be lapped 5+ times...

[frownonfun]

[kou]

subscribed. and stupid question but what's RD 2?

round 2.

[kou]

I might make this.

[frownonfun]

oh. might have made more sense to me if I'd known there was a round 1.

[Blown_xa]

y'all missed out on good close racing. Only 4 did round 1 and 2 for round 2. Remember , as says in 1st post ... be in lounge noon EASTERN time hehe. Its really fun, just wish for a full field .

Ill post up rd.3 soon

[kou]

Awesome race even if it was only 2 people.where was everyone else?Hope there is more people at the next event.

:burnrubber:

[frownonfun]

friend request sent but no reply :(

on a side note, I really gotta stop going into the used cars section.

[CTScott]

Any chance of doing Sunday evening, instead of noon?

[Bluevitz-rs]

Any chance of doing Sunday evening, instead of noon?

I second that. I work pretty much every sunday from 2-8. I'd like to be able to join in on the fun.

[frownonfun]

I don't think blown_xa has a monopoly on starting races. Just saying most Sundays I'm not busy so I will race with whoever.

[Bluevitz-rs]

:)

I just can't host races. I'm a NAT 3 <--whatever that means? And my internet only uploads at 1Mbs

i replied right away...wierd. i got it after race was over though.


Sunday evenings sound good. Id like to keep hosting it, reason being is Ptuning (where I work) may donate actual prizes to the winner... such as a vacumme block or gift card. I havent seen enough participants to make that happen yet though.
What I really want to do is make a series of it, and keep track of points.. update them every round and post it on here. Maybe winner will get free lowering springs or something like that.

[Bluevitz-rs]

Sounds awesome, and added you today. :)

Where's the next race being held?

[frownonfun]

i replied right away...wierd. i got it after race was over though.

Yes I have since received your reply and see that we've added each other. No worries though. I will be sure to make it next time. Gives me time to practice in the Yaris a little. I don't have much use for it in the higher lvl races obviously.

[kou]

I'm ready to race again.

[Blown_xa]

This Sunday, RD. #3 .......... 10pm eastern time. Track: Nurburing full. 3 laps

[Bluevitz-rs]

3 laps seamed to go by really fast. I'm down for a 10 lap race if it's competitive.

Edit: oops, FULL track, 3 laps is plenty :)

[kou]

I'm there, this will be a tough one.

[CTScott]

Perfect time!

[CTScott]

Is the HP limit still 226?

[Bluevitz-rs]

yeah, that's the limit for the older Vitz and the xA, xB. So it's only fair for all models.

[Blown_xa]

yeah, that's the limit for the older Vitz and the xA, xB. So it's only fair for all models.

indeed.

[soloecho2]

Friend request sent

[CTScott]

yeah, that's the limit for the older Vitz and the xA, xB. So it's only fair for all models.

OK. I'll have to downgrade my 07 a bit. I have it up to 266 HP.

[kou]

yeah, that's the limit for the older Vitz and the xA, xB. So it's only fair for all models.

You can get 260hp out of the 02 vitz rs.

[kou]

indeed.

The cap should be a little higher because the older model cars would be fully modded and be lighter.If the cap were a little higher the 07 vitz could be used fully modded(superchargered),last week was ok but now after an oil change i have 231hp and if i detune i wouldnt be able to get the 226hp cap.I think a 236hp cap would be fair because of the 40lb wieght difference.

[kou]

Awesome races. :thumbup::burnrubber:

[soloecho2]

Thanks again. See you next Sunday.

[Blown_xa]

1st official races start this Sunday, 1/30 at 10pm eastern time. THIS WILL BE ROUND 1 OF 5. Winner of the series gets 2 Ptuning t shirts. I will post points system soon.

[Bluevitz-rs]

I won't be able to make this session on time. I work until about 10:45

[Bluevitz-rs]

So how was the race? Who won?

[frownonfun]

We had fun. Blown Xa won the official race but we moved on to other tracks just for fun and had different results.

[CTScott]

I missed last night's, but I'll be back for next week. And, UPS just delivered my steering wheel.

[Bluevitz-rs]

Monza

[Bluevitz-rs]

I'm in tonight!!!

[kou]

Awesome racing again.I took some pictures of the race,maybe more people will join in when they see what there missing.And sorry about the sizeif someone wants to resize the pictures i will erase these ones they are right off my ps3.

[frownonfun]

nice pics. good racing. i was actually about to post some pics myself because i have to take issue with the end of our last official race. to be honest i feel like i was robbed a little. so i'm about to post the pics and i'll let you guys decide.

[frownonfun]

so to sum it up... ketabchi (red), bluevitz (blue), and I (orange) are coming up to the finish line on the last lap behind blown xa up there in the distance winning the race as usual. we three are pretty much neck and neck but then red yaris and blue yaris get into each other a little causing them to loose control a little bit and slide right thru me like i'm no even there for the pass and position across the finish.

i just have to ask how someone can pass you by going thru you?

I was just trying to stay on the track after bluevitz slammed me(not a clean racer).The outcome is what it is,those pictures just show a very close race if we were'nt invisible you would have been slammed the result would have been the same so i think its a fair race.We had the same results in the first race.

[frownonfun]

it's all good... please don't think i was blaming either one of you... stuff happens... i would just have rather the game not let ya'll pass right through me and instead let whatever happens happen. who knows who might have lost control if we had all collided.

didn't realize we had the same results in the first race. i have some snap shots of our pile up in the first chicane lol. need to post them soon.

look forward to next week anyhow.

[kou]

looking forward to next week also.

[Blown_xa]

awesome pictures . The points system is as follows.... last place receives 10 points, and goes up in incriminates of 10 per position. This system rewards one who is fast even in a full field . This also gives somebody a chance even if they miss a race.

[Bluevitz-rs]

I was just trying to stay on the track after bluevitz slammed me(not a clean racer)....

Oh common :cry:

You still beat me by .004

In fact I was bumped off the outside of a turn more than once that race and I never complained, and I didn't bump you off, I took your racing line and you drove off the track in the last 100ft of the race.

[Blown_xa]

here is a cool photo of my chrome Yaris....

[frownonfun]

nice.

[kou]
