200 X 1.48 = appox. 5 hours of playing time. Did you do all those laps consecutively? I give you props for being able to keep your cool for that long.

GarySheehan · 2006-02-14, 09:29 AM

I've done about 50 laps total. I got a 1:48.4xx. My parents are in town for my daughter's first birthday, which is today!

Probably won't be improving my time on this challenge.

By the way, have I shown you my codriver in training?

Thats an incorrect assumption. He was able to play for that long, but he certainly didn't keep his cool the whole time

Lol, I was like "What? That's just math not an assumption."

doubleurx · 2006-02-14, 09:48 AM

Gary that is a great picture. I want a setup like that. My son would love that almost as much as I. Happy Birthday to your daughter.

sperry · 2006-02-14, 10:25 AM

So Gary, if she hangs on to your ears or something, is that an FIA approved head restraint?

As far as the 5 hours and keeping my cool... it was more like 6 hours of playing, so it was probably more than 200 laps... but that's spread over a few sessions, not all at once. I stop when I get too frustrated. Usually when I come back to it, I pick up right were I left off, but I'm much fresher and have a better mindset, which helps to get the times down.

However, when I used to race NASCAR 2 online in a league, we'd run 50% length races... with all the yellows at tracks like Sears Point and Bristol, it was easily 4 hours straight behind the wheel. And if you think restrictor plate racing is lame, try drafting for 3 hours straight with 15 other people... there is *zero* time to relax when a mistake doesn't only mean ending your night, it means ending 3 or 4 of your friend's nights too. No one wants to be "that guy" that starts "the big one"... it's actually very intense.

Back to the challenge... unless I missed something, Alan took this one... but he also picked it on behalf of Gary... so does that mean he gets to pick again, or is it back to me?

cody · 2006-02-14, 10:30 AM

If Alan wins, whoever gets 2nd place makes the rules for the next challenge.

I just realized today is Tuesday... for some reason I thought last night was the end of the challenge.

I guess I can still run a few laps tonight and see if I'm still pissed off.

cody · 2006-02-14, 10:43 AM

At least you didn't confuse two threads.

Haha, as I recall you were usually caught up in the big one too...

Actually, I remember the last two 'dega races we ran, you got hit within the 1st 30 laps, while I got spun by *the same guy* (Downforce was his name IIRC) both times on the last lap while leading. God I was livid!

I remember that! I thought you were going to kick a hole through your loft after that one...

Hahahaha, drop a foot through the ceiling.

I've been too busy turning laps at Toban in a Carrera Cup car in rFactor. It's about eleventy-billion times more entertaining.

cody · 2006-02-14, 11:23 PM

Yah, this Challenge is too...challenging.

GarySheehan · 2006-02-14, 11:59 PM

This challenge is over. What are the final times?

Looks like you got Alan by .04s!

bemani · 2006-02-15, 12:22 AM

No sniping???!!?? That's unpossible!

cody · 2006-02-15, 12:29 AM

I was dreaming of sniping you all, but I just couldn't make up that narrow 5 second gap.

cody · 2006-02-15, 08:44 AM

Well Gary, since you are the WinnAr, what's the next Challenge going to consist of?

GarySheehan · 2006-02-15, 10:16 AM

What's a snipe?

I've got to get back to my PS2 later and take a look at what's available to us. Anyone have any good suggestions? I'd like to drive a racecar again.
