Alright guys , Tomorrow night is the big event. We kick off the Spazcar NWS @ Daytona. All the drafting , all the excitement, all the fun that Spazcar is known for is kicking off! Will post the Line up later tonight. One thing I can't stress enough.... MAKE SURE YOUR SKIN PACK IS UP TO DATE! dl.dropbox.com/u/61749810/Spazcar_NWS_Skins.rarI would like us to get under way no later then 7:30 PM PDT, Mandatory drivers meeting at 7:15. If everyone is present we'll start right after the meeting so by 7:20. If you don't think you can make it until 7:30 on the nose please let me know and those that don't make the meeting lose their starting position and go to the back of the pack. You little stricter this season , but that is because I want to try to make the event doesn't hamper those on the east coast and we can get done in a timely manner  Really looking forward to this, make sure you jump on the server to verify every thing good. (it's back up) Thanks again for your participation, see you on the track! |

Spaz, I know you really want to get a 100 lap race in, but I just can't see how that can happen and still be done by midnight eastern time. I did the math and if the leaders could run 48 second laps with no pit stops and no cautions, the race would still take 80 minutes. When you add in cautions and pit stops, I'm sure a 100 lap race would take at least an hour and 45 minutes or more. That would mean we would have to start the race no later than 7:15 pacific time and there are many on the west coast who just can't be ready at that time. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just being realistic about it. For me it doesn't matter anymore, I'm going to work early tomorrow so I can make the race and I don't care if it goes until 3:00 in the morning, but not everyone has my schedule. Just something to think about.

I'm allowing 2 hours for this event , so yes it puts it up to 12:30 Eastern. This is the one race of the season that will go this long. The rest will be timed to be done by 11:45 PM EST. If there are any delays or issues, it will impact the total race laps and of course make them less. There will be no competion cautions, or midrace admin induced slow downs. Straight up racing, as the sim decides. So that will help as well. I hope  |

Don't forget to UPDATE you skin pack before the race tonight! Looking forward to this and yes...while i really want to run a hundred laps, depending on start time I may reduce it to like 75, Goal is to force 2 pits stops, so I think like we can do 34 laps on fuel...so that the goal is for 2 stops anyhow.

I should be on my 7:05pm tonight. I am going to do qualifying for the Late Model at Michigan at 7pm and then will jump right into Spazcar. I already downloaded and tested the skin pack last night. Everything works fine.

I'm going to target for 12:00 Finish even if it less laps ( sigh ) I'll hold a special event on a weekend later on that will be a 100-150 lapper, so right now...it's looking like a 75 lapper at most, maybe even 60 as I remembered today how this thing goes sometimes  |

I say let's do 120 laps to make it real. The Nationwide race is the DRIVE4COPD 300 which is 120 laps. I will be off early tonight to race and I can stay up all night if I need to.
