FIRST!

Oh, and thank you for the reminder that everyone should use the *actual* pit lane.

[GrumpyTuna]

 As far as i know i'm racing this Friday! Hopefully nothing comes up to get in the way of racing.

[Tuna-Tank]

Sign me up guys if there is still a spot open. I will be in the 63 Vette.

Everyone drove really well and I'm quite glad that several months of preparation culminated into something as fun as this.  There has been a lot of chatter about running this event again before the end of the year and I see no reason why not!

After seeing this, I feel very good about runner up.

[Revengel]

What a blast!  Man I was going great until lap two...

I mean...until I hit the wall...

I mean...until I decided to try a two stop strategy instead of a three...

I mean...until I ran out of gas...



All kidding aside, I want to thank everyone for a great time!  Sorry I gave myself and my car a concussion.

I too had multiple concussions, with one being head on into a dividing wall.

Thanks again go out to everyone involved in this race taking place---from those who first conceived the idea to those who helped in testing to those who showed up.

I haven't been on the PS3 so much in months and it was nice to be back.  The track was great, the cars were enjoyable (i.e. rear wheel drive) and it was fun preparing for a longerish race. 

We had several months of notice for this, which was plenty because I was jonesing to get the race going weeks ago.  Would like to see an enduro run monthly if possible (assuming the track and cars don't suck). 

Thanks for making racing fun for me again.

[AgentWD40_FL]

I'd like to make a personal thanks to the organizers that put together, not only this race, but all the tuna races.  It can be a thankless job trying to come up with new ideas, hours of testing, AND trying to satisfy everyone on staying away from sucky cars/tracks.   That last is an impossibility. My thought ... If I really dont like it, then I should step up to the plate.

I'll be more than happy to attend any event thats posted.  The work has been put in and I'm very grateful for the effort.  Without you, we'd be doing nothing but playing with seasonal events.

Keep up the outstanding dedication!

[GrumpyTuna]

    

 Good words!

[RickS95]

I'm ready to start practicing for the next one.  I need a track, car list, and specs.

[Wolfpack987]

Based on comments I feel like people want to do this exact race again (possibly shorter) or maybe switch cars to the newer ones I listed.  So how about the following options:

A) same cars, same track, slightly shorter race (90 min) on RS tires
B) same cars, same track, same tires, same distance
C) new cars (Viper, GT, Corvette), same track, shorter race (90 min) on RS tires
D) new cars (Viper, GT, Corvette), same track, same tires, same distance
