Default Mad enough for a 80 laps Daytona Event?

Who is mad enough to last an 100% official ARCA Remax 80 laps race at Daytona with everything setup to (as real as it gets?) huh huh huh? Someone there? :drunk:

We will start in the early evenings (in the game) at 16:00 ingame time so that the ambience will get darker and darker thus the lights flashing on and giving all of us an enjoying ride

I'm mad enough - but can't get into the server. It says 'joined timed out' when I enter the password.

This is my first attempt to join since installing the patch

Thanks for the race but it didn't go well for me. Forgot that I don't like superspeedways - too much aero reliance.

Qualified ok. Race didn't go so well. I got dropped during the first lap shuffle and spent 30 laps on my own waiting for a caution. Got the lucky dog and got dropped again in the restart shuffle. [note to self - don't be so cautious].

Hit the wall and called it a day...:brancard:

It was a fantastic race. Unfortunately with the second last caution it was me who forced it and I got to much aero damage, making it possible to Gareth to go for a win

Unlucky Roy for disconnecting, Sorry to Rob for taking you out, I owe you a beer I think that race was very much a possibility for you before the first caution. Gutted that I had to leave with 10 laps to go to eat dinner.

Fantastic, I think I need to be more cautious at restarts though.

About the connection problems nearly at the end of practise. It was in fact a glitch with my ISP where my server is hosted. But such problems are in fact not happen often though. Hopefully we can repeat this again, if not Tona then Dega or even a normal speedway like Rockingham, whenever this will come out

Question is when on which day? It should be a day where it is run in the evenings. It will be again a closed event though but if we can find a good day where everyone has the time and mood I shall announce this event early enough also over at RSC in hope that some more americans come and join us! I shall also contact my forum members in hope they have ARCA and want to join. Maybe we get a descend field together!

A 100% race at Dega is 100 laps!
