I'm not crazy about the Phoenix road course, but Charlotte and Daytona would be fun. I say we do the Charlotte Oval with everyone in the MX-5 except @slowbird who has to use the Skip Barber this time!

Maybe start out with an exhibition race or two with the MX-5 or Skippy, see who shows up and what they think, then decide on whether or not to do regularly scheduled league races. We could also do a poll and see what cars everyone would like to race.

I'd love to at least do some one-off races with you guys again if nothing else. I haven't hardly touched iRacing in a while, but I'm thinking about starting to play it more regularly again. Drove the new MX-5 last night and it was a blast (when it wasn't hopping and skipping wildly out of control that is... which was also kinda fun actually). Haven't purchased the Renault yet. Waiting to see what the general consensus is first.

6:53 is the first lap I've completed that actually counted. That was in the BMW with a mostly baseline setup. I was incredibly overly cautious on the back half of the track, given that most of the turns are blind and I've yet to make it that far often enough to memorize it.

It's fun though! I've never really driven it in a serious sim until now. I'm curious what it's like to drive in the other cars, but the BMW and Ruf are all I've tried so far. I don't know how "tourists" in real life manage to drive this thing. I'd be paranoid trying to drive my actual car at this place. Not that it wouldn't be fun, but I can't imagine going fast at that place in something I own. It's nerve wracking enough to try and complete a fast lap in iRacing without getting any off-track penalties.

@mouse: Sorry to hear about the financials, but grats on the job at least! They do that 50% deal at least a couple times a year it seems.

@mouse: The current promotion of 1/2 off is only good for one more day, I wouldn't let it lapse if that's the discount you're planning on using.

Looks like I'll be celebrating INDYpendence the regular way, by having a cookout and shooting off nearly illegal explosives into the sky in Indianapolis itself. The never-ending rain we've been having lately might cause me to stay home though. If I end up missing the race, good luck to you guys.

@mouse: I'm on board with that. I'd rather it just be us as well. Everyone needs to show up though! You too Slowbird!
