FOFC Stock Car Challenge: In the beginning - Page 2

PackerFanatic · 11-11-2008, 08:56 PM

Another solid top 10, but man, I still can't figure out a way to get to the front! I am the only one in the top 10 to not lead a lap yet this year.

RendeR · 11-11-2008, 09:15 PM

This race was really tight for the first fuel run, but after that it was all PB and me in a rout. I almost had the lil bastard too, one more lap and I'd have snatched it right out from under his ugly purple ford

RendeR · 11-11-2008, 09:19 PM

Sig test

PurdueBrad · 11-11-2008, 09:26 PM

WOW, nice race! Also, great write up RendeR, really enjoying them.

cmp · 11-11-2008, 09:39 PM

Well I'm hoping I can improve a bit, mid pack so far.

cubboyroy1826 · 11-11-2008, 10:03 PM

Wow we finally finished at a decent spot.

MrBug708 · 11-11-2008, 10:50 PM

When there is room, I'd like to be the Skittles car

The car might look pretty ugly FROM BEHIND. IF you ever get in front of me, let me know what the front looks like.

Travis · 11-12-2008, 10:17 AM

Hrmm, need to find a better strategy to start challenging in some of these races.

Heh, would have to catch up to you first or start the ride once you've lapped me

Poli · 11-12-2008, 12:22 PM

Insert Poli when you can.

RendeR · 11-12-2008, 01:51 PM

Bug, poli, select a car number from the list on page 1 (I have a skittles Pontiac #36 if you want that bug)

You guys will get in on season #2. I'm going to hold off on adding or remiving anyone for between seasons as its a pain in the tookas to get everything set right in the sim. (and it adds dead weight data to all the results)

So hang in there for another 11 race

Anyone else wanting to join in Season 2 post the car you want from the list on page 1. I will try to add possible cars to that list as time allows.

--

Thanks for the compliment on the write ups, This last race was really a barn burner, literally one more lap and I would have passed you PB!

As for your car being ugly from behind, check out Race #3, its just as ugly from the FRONT

MUHahahahaha

Poli · 11-12-2008, 04:24 PM

28 Havoline Ford will work.

DanGarion · 11-12-2008, 11:59 PM

Yup; Skittes car works fine!

Pick a number from Page 1. I'll try and get more alternatives up there this weekend.

RendeR · 11-13-2008, 02:54 PM

One Third of the season is done.

"Tires, Tires is what wins the race..." Most people can quote Days of Thunder fairly easily, but today it wasn't tires that won the race, it was fuel mileage. All day long it was PB, RendeR, cmp, and packerfanatic fighting for the lead. cmp led most of the time and then faded late. RendeR could never get around a car once he caught them or he might have run away with this. His car simply couldn't make a pass stick.

After the first pit stop it was the same group literally single file for most of the laps and then cmp would slip and the other three would fight like cats and dogs to gain supremacy. but today it wouldn't matter.

BYU14, damnmikebrown and CoffeeWarlord along with Burton all gambled that their cars had enough gas to get to the end. It looked like another PB and RendeR finish if those cars finally pitted and cmp did his normal fade away at the end of a run, but lo and behold their fuel held out and the big boys had to settle for a mid-pack finish.

Winner of the Las Vegas Race: BYU14!!!

ozias · 11-15-2008, 06:19 PM

Nice thread you got going here RendeR.

Quick question, where did you edit the scores for the cars and stats for the drivers in the game? Is there an .ini file?

Also, I'll take #18 for next season if you don't mind.

RendeR · 11-15-2008, 09:51 PM

THe stats are accesible from the opponent manager screen, select the car, then click ratings and edit them to what you want/need for your simulation.

For this I had every car identical to start and have been updating them based on performance after each race.

lordscarlet · 11-18-2008, 03:46 PM

I assume it's too late, but if a spot opens up next season or something, I would love to be in. I will try to keep an eye on the thread until then, but I rarely venture out of Off Topic.

(#16, for future reference -- if I do get a spot, let me know if I have some options on sponsor)

PilotMan · 11-19-2008, 03:42 PM

For next season, set PilotMan up with the #11 Fed Ex car. Thanks

RendeR · 11-19-2008, 05:30 PM

Sorry for trhe break guys, been busy with life and work. Since we have so many new people I may just run an FOFC only season next and add in whomever wants in. We'll see how it all plays out.

CU Tiger · 11-19-2008, 05:31 PM

For next season how about the #33 Skoal Chevy
Spittin and spinnin

RendeR · 11-19-2008, 08:55 PM

33 is spoken for already CU T

RendeR · 11-21-2008, 08:54 PM

"I Robot"
It was a long boring race at bristol. Boring you say? Indeed Boring. The robot driver Stirling Burton stunk up the show by leading all 125 laps and taking the win in easy fashion. A number of FOFC drivers vied for the lead but no one could manage to pass the #4 Kodak Chevrolet.

RendeR · 12-03-2008, 02:02 PM

Sorry for the delay guys, I'll get another race run tonight unless work gets crazy.

PurdueBrad · 12-03-2008, 03:48 PM

NP, just looking forward to another Crown Royal victory!

RendeR · 12-04-2008, 04:39 PM

Then you're really not going to like the results of race 7. I'll post things up later tonight.

PilotMan · 12-04-2008, 05:28 PM

I say lets get on to next season, when the real competition begins.
