We had to cancel a meeting due to lack of entrants. That meeting will be redone at the end of the season.

Nice racing with you all tonight, only disappointment was terrible lag in Race 2.

RollinInSTI sorry about stuffing you like that in the first race, my nerves were getting the best of me tonight with this being my first race with you guys and gal.
I got a run on you out of the first turn and was trying to decide whether I was going to get along side you and before I knew it I was well past my brake marker and the only way for me to avoid punting you off the track was to dive up the inside and hit the grass. I know we didn't make any contact but it slowed us both down enough that it allowed Outlaw to get away. My apologies!

I believe it was a 1:09.9xx by S2M but i know me and Mark were managing 1:09s as well through out the race.

Congrats Outlaw and Bruno.

Had a fun night, much more respectful racing tonight than there was today. Finally being able to go toe to toe with Louis was a blast, and I had what I feel was one of my best races in race 2, as I clawed my way back to fifth after getting spun back to tenth 5 or so laps in. Sorry for any dents I may have installed on my way past.

That being said, I am glad to see Hockenheim in the rear view mirrors as we head off towards the next round.

I had a fun first night racing with you guys! Even if I was rather slow... oh well, it was a good time. Although the second race was LAG-TASTIC! Causing me to rear end another racer at high speeds, forcing a pit stop due to catastrophic engine damage. I shall have to smooth that out for the next meeting.

Congrats to Bruno and Outlaw!

Sorry SharkByte if I got a bit testy at the end. The lag was a bit much, as I drove clean through your car a few times on the last lap, and well it was the last lap and I had a good run going.

Hope you get the connection sorted out, so you can get the chance to actually enjoy a fun race with us next time.

edited for politeness.

Well done on getting pole deuce, I will start on your tune/build over the next few days for you bud.

Thanks a bunch Ranger, If you don't mind would you send your Kia tune over? I'm contemplating a car change and plus you'd only have to do a tune for one car.

Race 1 was fun. Great racing w/ Deuce & Outlaw.

Race 2: frustration central. I know Louis felt worse about spinning me out than I did, but it was one of those incidents. Then to get lag bombed when I caught up to SharkByte. Received 100% On the front, sides and internals exiting the final corner. My car came to a rest on the run off, I sat there weighing my options for 5-10 seconds, then decided to pit.


Just an open FYI to newer members to TORA, if everyone/most of everyone in the lobby is lagging, its most likely not them, but you instead. I had a similar instance of this last season in the ISCC @ RoadAm. Connection was shoddy for me after the hurricane/early snowstorm, and everyone was lagging bad on my screen, and I knew it wasn't them, so I entered pitlane, and took the DNF instead of harming anyone else's race

im hoping to be able to join you guys this tuesday...my line of work has crazy hours so im either sleeping or working when you guys race but i might get lucky this week cause we just wrapped the show so i believe i have a week or so off!
