The Front Office BATracer career challenge -- season 1 started!!!

[FrogMan]

The idea with this is to play an ongoing game of BATracer seasons in which your finishing position in one season determines your picking order for the choice of your car for the following season. This is not a team competition, your picking order will be determine by your individual position, although the more you and your teammate work together, the better you will both do and the better chance you will both have of getting a better car the following season. Obviously, with no data at the start of season 1, we will have a randomized draft order.

The challenge will be played with the F1 2006 carset, of which you can find the car comparison for the top 8 cars:

Signups for the random draft will be open for the next 48 hours or so, at which point I will randomize the picks and we will start picking cars. After that, and until the draft is over, new players from FOFC will be welcome to sign up, but their names will be added to the bottom of the picking order.

My hope is that we will get more than 10 FOFCers interested and after that, I plan on advertising the challenge on the BATracer forum, not by making the series ID available in the open but by asking interested drivers to contact me by PM . From there, my plan with outsiders is this: (1) I reserve the right to reject anyone and black flags are BIG no-no's and (2) FOFCers will always have priority over outsiders. That second point means that if we ever have a waiting list, I will maintain two separate waiting lists, i.e. one for FOFCers and one for outsiders. To manage that, I have applied for a free ftlog forum which is the same kind of forum already used by BATracer... Obviously, I would open the doors of the challenge to outsiders after FOFCers would have picked their cars so for season 1 they would pick their cars after every FOFCer would have picked theirs.

I'm also asking one tiny thing of anybody who enters: please be committed. If you sign up for it, please do your laps. Nothing sucks more for a dedicated driver to see his teammate go AWOL in the middle of the season.

So who's up for this!

Please sign up below with your real driver name, i.e. the one on the account that you will use on BATracer.

forgot to add, this will obviously start after the current FOFC private game has ended, so if that's your only private game slot left, this shouldn't be a problem by the time we start picking cars...

FM

[Brillig]

In!

[FrogMan]

In!


mind me using your real life name in the list?

I gotta say I put that in there mostly for when I'd open up the thing to outsiders, and for players I can associate an FOFC handle to. I know yours so I can deal with it no problem...

FM

[Emiliano]

Nice! I'm obviously in.

[Brillig]

You can use either name, no prob. (It's not my real name anyway - like I'd hand that over to a webgame ;)

[Killebrew]

I'm in after the current FOFC private game is completed:
Buddy Grant (Killebrew)

[Scoobz0202]

Hmm.. I have 7 races in my A1GP. When do you think this will get started?

[FrogMan]

Hmm.. I have 7 races in my A1GP. When do you think this will get started?

7 races is still 10 days, I'd think we will have start before that.

I could make you a provisionnal in case we still have not started, but don't think I can guarantee you a spot in the draft and hold up everyone for 10 days...

FM

[Scoobz0202]

Alrighty. Just make me a provisionnal.

[Alan T]

I'll sign up for this. I got a bit burned out from doing so much batracer at once before.. Just sticking to this one game sounds like it would be fun though . :)

I actually thought about you when I had this idea. Running a ton of series can be tough but only one is what, 5 minutes a day, if that, and the banter can be fun... :)

Welcome back!

[FrogMan]

dola, and we also have the great hype maker signed up for this in Killebrew. Read this writeup he did prior to race 15 in the FOFC F1 series that just ended:
There have been three dominant teams this season and if recent races are any indication, Fuji is likely going to be a very eventful race.

Top 3 top teams:
McLaren (Gougeon/Delian) - A tremendous season with two strong pilots in a strong car, but recent DNF's and course misfortunes have put the McLaren Constructors Championship in some doubt. As always with McLaren, politics have played a role in this seasons results, and the team bosses have been concerned the drivers were going against each other as much as the rest of the field. According to sources this controversy is all but over now as team leader & fan favorite Michael Delian has finally accepted his role as the #2 driver at McLaren.

BMW Sauber (Powers/Brown) - Craig Powers is almost singlehandedly putting Sauber into the Constructors mix, but Will Brown has shown steady improvement after a disastrous start to 2007. Powers is aggressive on the track, something that has won him begrudging respect from the other drivers, and he tends to finish with a podium or not finish at all.

Honda (Marshall/Grant) - If not for Kurtis Marshall's early season bad luck (3 straight DNF's) Honda might actually be close to the Constructors lead right now. Since that rough patch Marshall has been the hottest driver in FOFC F1 and together with Buddy Grants relatively consistent results Honda are now only 22 points back of McLaren with 3 events to go. That's a high mountain to climb but they do have some momentum on their side:

Points since Magny Cours:
Honda: 77 Championship Points (38+39)
McLaren: 59 Championship Points (30+29)
BMW-Sauber: 52 Championship Points (31+21)

Best of the Rest:
It seems to me David Gonzalez (Toyota) and Tony Rodriguez (Williams) could have made some big noise this season if they had teamed up together instead of driving on opposite sides of the paddock. Toyota & Williams are not the strongest cars out there, yet these drivers have been consistent all season. Gonzalez had 3 straight podiums recently, and teammate-less Tony Rodriguez did not let that fact bother him as he achieved a P2 finish at Silverstone. Brett Hawkins is a very new replacement driver, but his obvious talent might throw a wrench into the best laid plans of McLaren/Sauber/Honda. In his very short stint at Ferrari Hawkins has already won a race (Monza).

Good stuff... :)

we're now up to 9 but I was thinking that maybe the long weekend had people away from their computers so I'm thinking about leaving it open for one more day.

After that, I know I had said I wanted to open it up to outsiders to fill up the other spots, but what do you think? Do you want to keep it FOFCers only, at least for the first season? Or should I go forward and advertise it on the BATracer forum, while still making a selection of who i let in?

FM

[Emiliano]

FOFCers only, FOFCers only!

:D

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'll give it a go. Craig Powers.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Dola, I think it would be interesting to do some sort of a "reverse grid" initial assignment... see how the guys like me, who are pretty good as frontrunners, do trying to gain points with the backmarker cars...

[Brillig]

I'd say FOFCers only... we're (still) more reliable than the general rank and file...

[FrogMan]

I really want to make this a straightfoward draft and have people try to win to get the better cars. Feel free to pick a bad car with your pick though. ;)

FM

[FrogMan]

I'd say FOFCers only... we're (still) more reliable than the general rank and file...

true, but then again, I'd want to use outsiders as fill-in for the first season. With an even number of FOFCers, we would all be teamed up with somebody from here and we could still evaluate their participation as the season goes on. I would make it very clear that participation is required or else they'd get the boot...

FM

[Brillig]

Hey, and then we could get tons of people going, and set up a series system with promotion and relegation and stuff...

*snorfle* or maybe I should cut back on the tequila... ;)

[vex]

I'll give it a go.

[FrogMan]

now, that's the spirit :D

Seriously, the E-race career challenge had something like 4 guys on their waiting list before season three, we ended up needing three because some drivers decided to not come back for more. I was on the waiting list for a while and came in as a midseasoner in season 2. The guys I see in there are all dedicated, and when one isn't participating, he hears about it and if there's no response, he gets sacked and replaced...

FM

[TonyR]

I'll join. Tony Rodriguez from FOFC clan

[FrogMan]

I'll join. Tony Rodriguez from FOFC clan

cool, with Tony, this gives us 12 drivers/6 complete teams. I'll give it until 12:15 eastern for anybody to come forward and sign up. At that time, I'll go forward with the draft.

FM

[RPI-Fan]

I haven't played this before, but wouldn't mind trying to dabble with it.

Would a newbie be accepted or is it better to just fill empty slots with AI teams? (no hard feelings if that's the case)

It's not very hard to figure out and as long as you do your runs, I'm sure nobody would mind having you as a teammate.

The game is not very demanding, time wise. The game advances every 24 hours. The first 24 hours, you do practice laps trying to better your setup, then qualifying happens (that's when the game advances) and you have another 24 hours to better your setup for the race. In that second 24 hours, once you've come to the best setup you can, you'll have to set your race strategy and driving style, but your teammate would be able to help you out with that. All in all, with only one series, I'd say 5-10 minutes a day is enough. Probably more when a race has just happened, if you take your time watching it lap by lap, which is highly recommended. :)

Basically, if you want in, you can. So, you in? :)

FM

[FrogMan]

dola, there won't be any AI teams/drivers. We will have the possibility of either going with a short field of whatever how many drivers we have, or I will advertise the game on the BATracer forum for outsider to fill in the remaining spots in the lower cars...

FM

[RPI-Fan]

In.

[FrogMan]

In.

cool, you should go to batracer.com (http://batracer.com/) and register, then find a midseason academy game to join, maybe one with a high percentage of the season already done so to you can learn a little about how it goes.

You start with only one private game slot, make sure you keep it for our game...

FM

[FrogMan]

Okay, time has come and I don't think we'll get any more drivers signed up for this. I know it's an odd number now, but I plan on posting something in driver chat of the E-race career challenge and I'm pretty sure we should get a few from there over to our side and these guys are very good, and dedicated.

I have randomized my list on my end and have sent a copy of it to Brillig, cause I'm sure he'll bark at me if anything is not kosher. ;)

Now I'd need one of you to go over to sequences on random.org (http://www.random.org/sequences/) and post here a sequence of numbers from 1 to 13 that I will match with my randomized list. From there, I will post the draft order and we will start picking cars...

I'd like to stay on this list...I currentlly don't have supporter/kook tools or whatever it is that gives you access to additional seasons, but I may be getting it soon. Plus I can be a mid-season replacement if needed.

I have asked Brillig to create the game, as I can't since I created one for the A1 cup, and once I have the series ID, I'll let you all know personally as your turn comes to pick your car. For now, you can post it in here if you want.

dola, and here are the write-ups for each car as they appear on BATracer:
Renault
Mild Seven Renault F1 Team R26. Renault RS26 V8 engine. Michelin tyres. Estimated budget: 125m GBP.

Championship winners in 2005 looking to defend the title. 12 setup parameters.




McLaren
Team McLaren Mercedes MP4-21. Mercedes F01085 V8 engine. Michelin tyres. Estimated budget: 238m GBP.

Ferrari
Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro 248 F1. Ferrari 056 V8 engine. Bridgestone tyres. Estimated budget: 241m GBP.

Improved performance expected, given poor performance last year. Questions hanging over engine reliability, though should be quick. 12 setup parameters.




Toyota
Panasonic Toyota Racing TF106. Toyota RVX06 V8 engine. Bridgestone tyres. Estimated budget: 312m GBP.

Continues to make gains, huge budget must surely start paying off at some point. 12 setup parameters.




Williams
Williams F1 FW28. Cosworth CA 20067 V8 engine. Bridgestone tyres. Estimated budget: 159m GBP.

Mid fielder expects a transitional year, having split from BMW and having to work with development of new Cosworth V8. 12 setup parameters.




Honda
Honda Racing F1 RA106. Honda RA806E V8 engine. Michelin tyres. Estimated budget: 232m GBP.

Massive expectations this year, with excellent testing and reliability results. Finally shakes off BAR branding this year. 12 setup parameters.




Red Bull
Red Bull Racing RB2. Ferrari 056 V8 engine. Michelin tyres. Estimated budget: 125m GBP.

Mid-grid team may surprise, though lots of work to do. Gained legendary technical chief Adrian Newey from McLaren this year. 12 setup parameters.




BMW Sauber
BMW Sauber F1.06. BMW P86 V8 engine. Michelin tyres. Estimated budget: 205m GBP.

Facing a transitional year, as BMW buys old Sauber team and fits their own engine. 12 setup parameters.




Midland
Midland F1 M16. Toyota RVX06 V8 engine. Bridgestone tyres. Estimated budget: 110m GBP.

First year without old Jordan branding, expected to start edging forward. 12 setup parameters.




Toro Rosso

Super Aguri

All new team! Lot's of passion but painfully slow 4 year old cars coupled to one of the best engines. Warning: game is extra hard driving this car! 12 setup parameters.


Gotta love the special warning for the Aguri :D

Kent (TexasT) took the Renault ride. Seemed like the cool thing to do, so I did as well. I believe that has kingfc up next.

[Alan T]

I guess it looks like you all get to tell me what I pick by whatever is left :)

[Brillig]

I guess it looks like you all get to tell me what I pick by whatever is left :)

Well if you don't want to wait, I suppose we can get you an exemption to slide right into one of the Super Aguris :D

[TonyR]

I just didn't want to slide right into the "top" teams.

FM

[FrogMan]

I'd like to add that anyone who sees this thread and wants to jump in is welcome to do so. You would simply pick last in the draft, in the order of your signing up for it. There should be some reasonably good cars even at pick #14...

FM

[SnDvls]

I guess it looks like you all get to tell me what I pick by whatever is left :)

well we might be on the same "leftovers team" anyhow...I think that should be our name too ;)

[kingfc22]

I made my pick

[FrogMan]

kingfc22 picked the second BMW Sauber and I picked the first McLaren with the the 7th pick.

Brillig is now on the clock. You know the specifics, all yours...

FM

[FrogMan]

bump... Brillig, you out there?

Profile shows you last online about half an hour before I posted that you were up, so I'll guess it was a busy day at the office...

FM

[kurtism]

Plus, we need your testing results in Bat 7! ;)

[Brillig]

Sorry about the delay - I probably went offline just before you made your pick. I grabbed the other McLaren.

I sent Mr.W the info and put him on the clock...

Edit - and now the BAT7 results are in.

[Brillig]

Reminder! If we go with a short field and a manual start, there is no 12 hour period after the game starts to do your practice run - we go straight to qualifying.

So run your laps, people...

I will make a few ads in selected series and to selected past teammates about the game before I go I tell you to start it with a short field. I was aware of the no wait period, but thanks for reminding me...

I forgot that this is '06, not '07. :o

Oh well...

[Mr. Wednesday]

And I'll be forwarding the game info to Killebrew momentarily...

Double dola, on second thought, it looks like I had the right pick after all.

Yeah, looked at your pick and wasn't sure what you were complaining about. Seemed to me that at this point, Honda is as good a pick as any. Unless you meant to pick a backmarker and wanted to get the Aguri, then... ;)

Yeah, Mr W picked a Honda. Here's the draft up to now:

yep, I've posted something in the driver chat of the E-race challenge, have not heard from anyone there. I will also personally contact a few past teammates to see if there's interest. I want to at least find a teammate for Alan. After that, it's just gravy. I'll take the day to work on that but we might start tomorrow, so DO YOUR LAPS PEOPLE!!! :)

Here's what the field looks like after the draft:

[Alan T]

Worst case scenerio, if we don't get anyone else, I don't mind doing it alone. Should be a good challenge :)

[Lonnie]

I'll run Toyota with Alan.

[FrogMan]

I'll run Toyota with Alan.

cool! Welcome aboard. I'll PM you the details of the game right away...

FM

[Alan T]

Outstanding!

[SnDvls]

thanks Lonnie I was worried about Alan having to run it alone

[FrogMan]

as I said, I have posted in the driver chat of the E-Race challenge and I've sent PM's to three past teammates. No new drivers that way. I will post this message in the BATracer private games forum in a moment:
The FOFC career challenge

We are about to start season 1 of our ongoing career challenge using the F1-2006 carset. 13 of us from another board (namely FOFC) have had a draft and are looking for people to fill the field in this first season and hopefully stick for future seasons where cars will be picked based on your finished position of the previous season, a lot like the E-Race career challenge (hi Eduardo!)

See it as a challenge to come over, start with a mid to low range car and try to work your way up.

I won't post the game specifics here as I want to be able to approve drivers before they sign up. Sorry, black flaggers and uncommitted drivers need not apply, if you see what I mean. ;)

Available cars are as follows:
Midland (2)
Red Bull (2)
Super Aguri (2)
Toro Rosso (2)
Toyota (1)

You can see the draft thread over at:
http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=60675

We might start with a short field if it proves too hard to fill, but I'd really like to have a complete field. Of dedicated drivers that is. :)

PM me if you are interested. Series info will be sent for you to pick a car if you are accepted.


and we'll see how it goes. Worse comes to worse, we will force the start by tomorrow at about this time, so do your laps!!!

Seriously, only RPI-FAN still has to do his, so it's not all that bad...

FM

[TonyR]

Sorry if I am a bit delayed guys. Work went to new system, and now I can't check FOFC boards not BATracer at work :-(

[Killebrew]

Wouldn't we want a smaller field for this? Maybe skipping the truly weak cars would help the morale of any struggling driver and result in fewer AWOLers.

[SnDvls]

Wouldn't we want a smaller field for this? Maybe skipping the truly weak cars would help the morale of any struggling driver and result in fewer AWOLers.

I agree with this

[FrogMan]

and I agree too. We have one outsider signed on, Eduard Liguori, the guy running the E-Race career challenge. Once we get a teammate for him, I will give said teammate a bit of time to run his laps and we will start this thing... I don't want to leave him stranded either. I received a PM of another E-Racer asking for the series info to become Eduardo's teammate, so this should happen soon.

Would have been nice to have some no names running the lower cars, if only to have someone to kick on, but it doesn't seem it will happen. And I'm not ready to open it up at large and risk seeing the Fardons et al sign up for our game, even if they could behave very well. Can't stand them...

FM

[RPI-Fan]

Fardons????

[FrogMan]

Fardons????

do a search for the surname Fardon and take a look at the multiple accounts he has, one of them, if not many, is a farce of black flags. That should explain. :)

FM

[Alan T]

So are we all full now? or still looking for more?

[FrogMan]

as of about 75 minutes ago, the game has officially started, and WE HAVE A FULL FIELD!!! :)

Even better, that's a full field of people I believe should stick around too. Both David and Morgan whom signed up for the last two cars are drivers I've seen to appear dedicated. Matteo is a teammate of mine in a BAR 2002 and he's helped me maintain a second place with that BAR with fours races to go in the season and Corey White has won season one of the E-Race career challenge. All in all, a good group of drivers.

Good luck everyone!

FM

[FrogMan]

we might have a drive become available as Corey White was put up for sacking. He's apparently went AWOL, not only in that series, as he is in another series against me and he seems to have missed laps over there too. I have PMed him but I will not cut him any slack if his explanation is the least fishy...

I currently have two FOFCers on my waiting list:
Scoobz0202
Breeze

Would any of you be interested if the drive became available?

I also have a couple other names of outsiders, past teammates of mine that didn't have a private slot available when we started the game but told me to keep their name for a possible future season.

FM

[Scoobz0202]

I would be interested in joining. I have a private slot avail.

[FrogMan]

Access to BATracer has been blocked at work, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to handle season two if we get to that point...

For now, scoobz, the drive is available, but you need a midseason slot now, not a private slot. I will PM you the game info since you are the first on our waiting list but please let me know if you are out of midseason slots so I can offer it to Breeze or one of the outsiders that were interested...

FM

[Scoobz0202]

I filled the spot.

[FrogMan]

RPI-FAN is showing up as having been AWOL for 3.75 days, his drive is available and game information has been sent to Breeze, the last of my FOFCers on my waiting list.

My waiting list of outsiders is the following after that:
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 96pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=128 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 96pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4681" width=128><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-TOP: #ebe9ed; BORDER-LEFT: #ebe9ed; WIDTH: 96pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ebe9ed; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=128 height=17>Athan Kakaoux</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-TOP: #ebe9ed; BORDER-LEFT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ebe9ed; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>Bruno Lucas</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-TOP: #ebe9ed; BORDER-LEFT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ebe9ed; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>David Alatorre Lopez</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-TOP: #ebe9ed; BORDER-LEFT: #ebe9ed; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ebe9ed; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>Fernado Waldren</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

FYI, I will track the series ID on the midseason game list everyday and if a drive comes up in there, you will be replaced. Showing up once a day to do your laps is not too much to ask I think...

FM

[Nugget699]

You can add me to the waiting list.

[Scoobz0202]

I have made a few efforts to get ahold of matteo on team talk, and he doesn't respond. He actually has not said anything since I joined.

what do you mean, he just doesn't talk? Does he at least share his setup?

It's one thing not to be too talky, would be real bad if he just didn't share his setups...

FM

[FrogMan]

dola, to add that I teamed with Matteo once and he was a very nice guy, chatty at times and very helpful all along the season...

[Scoobz0202]

Well first, apologize for missing saturdays session. Was busy.

The sad thing is that with our cars we both you could say haven't been putting a full effort. When I first joined the team I did the obligatory how's it going message. Never got a response so I wasn't sure what to think. A few days later I had a bad run and asked if he had any setup. No response. Then a couple days later I asked for help again and never got a response. He has not posted a message, or setup, since I joined. But I actually haven't posted a setup in team talk either, mostly because I never once heard a peep from him. Maybe if I start posting setups that will perk him up.

well, that's shitty of him then. He's got KT while you don't which means he can see your setups and you can't see his. Tell him about this in team talk and ask him to help you out. I'll PM him...

[FrogMan]

Matteo has already replied to me and he said he'd try collaborating more. You can PM him too, he's open to talk...

Frog, I just sent my teamate a message stating that I have been sent out of town tomorrow for a week. Since I won't have internet access I went on Holiday Mode. It sucks because I had a chance to win the championship too! See if you can find my mate a good replacement. Good luck, guys, and count me in on the next one!

I have offered your drive to Nugget699 on the condition that he would simply be driving your car but the points would still count to your name. This means you would still pick the car next season based on his finishing position, since you are a longstanding FOFC BATracer.

FM

[TexasT]

Thanks, Frog, I'm back in town!

[SnDvls]

FrogMan can't continue to run this, but I'm willing to step up and run it for the next season if there is interest.

I need to know what type of series people are interested in doing.

[SnDvls]

The idea with this is to play an ongoing game of BATracer seasons in which your finishing position in one season determines your picking order for the choice of your car for the following season. This is not a team competition, your picking order will be determine by your individual position, although the more you and your teammate work together, the better you will both do and the better chance you will both have of getting a better car the following season. Obviously, with no data at the start of season 1, we will have a randomized draft order.

The challenge will be played with the F1 2006 carset, of which you can find the car comparison for the top 8 cars:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/QcFrogMan/BATracer/comparisonsF1-2006-missingsometeams.gif

Signups for the random draft will be open for the next 48 hours or so, at which point I will randomize the picks and we will start picking cars. After that, and until the draft is over, new players from FOFC will be welcome to sign up, but their names will be added to the bottom of the picking order.

My hope is that we will get more than 10 FOFCers interested and after that, I plan on advertising the challenge on the BATracer forum, not by making the series ID available in the open but by asking interested drivers to contact me by PM . From there, my plan with outsiders is this: (1) I reserve the right to reject anyone and black flags are BIG no-no's and (2) FOFCers will always have priority over outsiders. That second point means that if we ever have a waiting list, I will maintain two separate waiting lists, i.e. one for FOFCers and one for outsiders. To manage that, I have applied for a free ftlog forum which is the same kind of forum already used by BATracer... Obviously, I would open the doors of the challenge to outsiders after FOFCers would have picked their cars so for season 1 they would pick their cars after every FOFCer would have picked theirs.

I'm also asking one tiny thing of anybody who enters: please be committed. If you sign up for it, please do your laps. Nothing sucks more for a dedicated driver to see his teammate go AWOL in the middle of the season.

So who's up for this!

Please sign up below with your real driver name, i.e. the one on the account that you will use on BATracer.

FM


just noticed this, bolded part mine...so we'll continue using the same set.

[SnDvls]

newbies are welcome too, you'll be randomly slotted after all the returning players pick.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Per my comments in the driver chat, I'm on board if this continues.

You might want to check, before it's archived, to see who was still active on the last race or two, you can tell pretty obviously by whether their setup is absurdly out of range.

I just sent a private message to everyone there and will wait a few days to see what the responses are. counting the responses in the original thread there are 8 of us now that want to continue with conversations on going with a few more too.

[kingfc22]

I will be back

[CU Tiger]

I just found this and would like to give it a try

[SnDvls]

I just found this and would like to give it a try

added you to the list still waiting on a response from a few people and want to try and have an even number or racers.

as of now you'll be picking just after me since I was the lowest finishing person returning.
