TORA Spec Miata - General Discussion

XPR Roadrunner wrote:I was just gonna say, WTH happened to my homies in the 2nd race!?

I thought Soundwave got wrecked behind me, but Hailfire said he lagged out in front of him. Either way, he went out very early on.

Then Venom had what may have been one of the most spectacular flips I have ever seen. Not sure what triggered it, if it was contact, lag or the wall on the backstraight chicane, but it was freekin huge.

Then Tactical had the most bizarre lag out anyone had ever seen before. It seems that he was up front in 2nd or 3rd, and presumably lagged out as his car slowed a lot... but three or four laps later, as he is seemingly still on track, but not saying anything, or responding to questions and still going very slowly, his name pops up on screen "XPR Tactical is online" then a minute later "XPR Tactical is now playing Forza Motorsports 4"... but the whole time he is seemingly still on the track running right behind Venom's wrecked car. Never have I seen that before, nor had anyone in the race lobby.

wow...that sucks, at least XPR Tactical still has the Champ lead

First, I want to apologize to the guys I bumped. As a first timer, last night was awesome. I have never really had racing like that as the AI sucks and most people online are a lot slower or leave me in the dust.

I am also planning some more time to practice with out the brake line and in the Miata. I want to be better so that my racing can be cleaner and quicker.

Looking forward to watching the replay.

WReX, glad to see that you enjoyed that (I don't see how anyone but maybe the XPR guys wouldn't have) And I gotta say that while you may have had some "Oh crap/I'm sorry" moments, I was rather impressed by your pace, especially in Qualifying as you out-Q'd a few really quick experienced TORA racers.

Hope to see you around here for quite a long time.

I am more used to time attack type stuff. The wheel to wheel racing is new to me and I hope to become better. I feel bad for my "oh crap" moments. Not what I wanted to do the guys.

Don't plan on going away!

JKGrizzle is a recent addition to TORA, also from the time attack/hotlap type stuff, and it hasn't taken him long to get the hang of close quarters racing. I am pretty sure you'll get used to it pretty quickly too.

Then again, I have been here almost a year now, and I still have plenty of "Oh crap/sorry" moments

well was fun racing till race 2 when I lagged out thank god it has not cost me to much still leading in points it was good clean racing that I saw good going everyone

[quote="XPR Tactical"]well was fun racing till race 2 when I lagged out thank god it has not cost me to much still leading in point

Question: before you lagged out, did you fall off pace dropping to the rear of the field for a few laps?

Thread intrusion! Sorry, but XPR Tactical who are you. I assume you've changed your forum username but I can't work out who you are/was

A recent addition to TORA... came in a few weeks back as "Tactica1xCheese", I am thinking during Winter Heat? Anyway, he is the point leader and this is his first TORA race series.

I am quite impressed.

^ I wish I had practiced the Miata this week. My lack of preparation showed in both races.

Congratulation to XPR Tactical, the 2013 TORA Spec Miata Champion!

With just one event, two races and 120 possible points left up for grabs, Tactical has clinched the series Championship, but there is a five way battle for the runner up position.

Point Standings:
1. XPR Tactical - 517
2. silentalarm42 - 354
3. LeoBonilha 66 - 334
4. Stevie B71 - 325

According to my friends at XPLR, there was a widespread XBL connection issue Friday, which evidently also affected the Miatas.

Glad to see you make one of these, as you were definitely on pace. It sure looked like you had to be having fun in that three car lead battle that raged on in front of me much of the race. How can you not have fun flogging the life out of a Miata?

Mikey,,

Sorry to be a pain, but I dont seem to be showing any points for the first round i took part in sir,,,,could you have an investigate please??

Cheers,

Greg
