Can't wait to FINALLY get some real racing going on FM5! These cars won't be quick, but they should make for some really fun racing and will be a great way to help us learn a couple of the new tracks.

FYI, I would allow a minimum of 2 weeks prior to announcing registration a point race. I'll just be getting intown from a conference to make the race. Hopefully i can get my class figured out by tonight

Hey guys long time no see. MR BL0NDE asked if I was interested in racing. If you guys don't mind I would like to register for this series. I work pretty much every Saturday and this upcoming Saturday is my first Saturday off in what feels like forever. So if you guys do let me race this Saturday it might be the only race I can make.

We're very happy to hear that, InkaB0DpaiN! The sign up section should be on the right hand on your screen when you're on the main page. :)
Fri 10 Jan 2014, 05:59

Fri 10 Jan 2014, 07:11
I'm in to the 17s. I'll see if I can chip away at it some more tomorrow. Looking forward to the race

Fastest I could get was a 1:18.62. I have no idea where I'm leaving so much time on the table on such a short track.

In these lower class cars it's very important to keep your momentum up, so instead of slowing down that extra few miles per hour try using the whole width of the track (where useful!), that could help a bit with the times!
(Just make sure you're keeping within the white lines!)
