Spazcar NWS - GBR 100 miler from Road America Pre /Post

[spazsterian]

Calling all those road race aces and veterans. Spazcar heads off to everyones favorite 4 mile road course, Road America in Elkhart Lake WI. Our second road course event of the season brings the NWS cars and drivers to a familiar venue for many of the GBR group. but what's unfamiliar is the way these cars handle the course. You might think you not diving hard enough in the corners or feathering it too much on exit, but these things are a handleful , but yet fun to drive. Server will be up as of Saturday with a fixed tune, but to be honest it's a work in progress.
If any of you road course aces wanna tune these hot rods up and get it to me by no later Sunday mid day, you're more then welcome to email the svm file at [e-mail]. Drop me a note of what your getting for laps times with your tune. Thanks guys, just haven't been able to totally dial this one like i think i'd like. Here's what i got so far...

yeah brother i tried it the other night. this is going to be a tough one, i dont know if its the car or te driver. but it should be a fun one.

Worked in the tune a little more today. Should be bit better. You'll still be begging for tires though by mid race. So again...fast will get you way out...smooth will let you stretch your pit stop. These are from the strict school of slow in fast out. Remember that and you'll be good!

I may not be able to make this one. My wife is not feeling well so I might have to keep an eye on the little one.

[spazsterian]

Jeez that was hard. I've never gripped the steering wheel so tight before... had to keep telling myself to relax in the corners and let the car do what it wanted.

If I crash in the last 5 laps of a Spazcar race between now and the end of the season, everyone that ran tonight each gets to pay me back by saying "no" to a caution.

I just watched the replay of lap 15 and I have to apologize to Jeff. As Dale was coming back on the track I turned to the right to give him room and I got into you.

[spazsterian]

Congrats Dale on your win at Road America. Bit of a wild time at the end. Jeff picked up 4 bonus points and fought back for a 4th after a couple off track excursions. good job Jeff! Points are updated.

With the later start I was a bit lax on the cautions and also not consistant. I apologize for that. I don't run the full cautions in the road course due to the length of time the pace car travels. I'll be sure to be more diligent at Watkins Glen and make sure it's done fair. Jeff had a good lead when we called a rolling caution, and we should have called one for Jeff when Dale had the good lead. That would have been fair. I can't change it now...but I will make sure that we balance it better in the next race.

We are off to Phoenix next week guys...that's gonna be a fun track for sure..will have the server up by Friday with the tune...see you all out in the desert!
