I don't mind managing the thread, but if there's no one running, what's the point?

I think we should just crown you the winner and be done with it.

I bet people will join in eventually. I know I plan on running again at some point.

You guys are killing me... the challenge ended on Tuesday, and no one but me ran it, so we don't even have a challenge right now!

Are we just going to make this one a 2-week challenge, and pick a new track next Tuesday?

Seems to make sense since you can't win your own challenge.

I was more commenting on Ed running laps 2 days after the end of the challenge, but if you wanna trade jobs I got no problem driving in Speed GT for ya while you write server software and race GT4 for me Thursday nights.

Though I think I'd probably disappoint your sponsors when I crash the car into the guy in front of me trying the old GT4 8 tire pass in T1 of my 1st event.

Yeah, no problem, let's just go on this one for one more week. I think I was the only one that ran any laps last week.

Just don't forget that the laps times don't count w/o a picture!

And I'll take over updating the 1st post if Cody's not interested.

1'25.077 there are a little more room to improve. I just need a clean lap. I just know Sperry will be in mid 1'24. I can do that by drag thru the wall .

1st post updated. I ran a couple laps and all I gotta say is I can't wait to see Scott's best lap. This car is evil...but I like it.

22 laps and I'm still 10 seconds slower than you Mofo's.

It's like threading a box of needles with a chainsaw.

I bet you can go faster than that if you just stay on the gas and *try* to steer away from the walls.

Well, I ran a few more laps and got down to the 1'30's, but I've yet to get anything that resembles a clean lap.

It's just like autocross... you need to get a rhythm. Try to drive 5 or 10 laps at like 8/10 speed. Concentrate on being smooth and sticking to the line. Try to picture what the next corner coming up is while you're mid-corner on the current turn.

I bet that even driving w/o pushing hard, you'll end up setting some faster time.

I've been working on modulating the throttle better (it's not an on/off switch?) and smoothing out my inputs (epileptic monkeys got nothing on me).
