R1 Race Series

[Greyfox60]

Well, it has been awhile with new games coming out, busy schedules etc, but now it is time to start a new race series.

This one will be a ten race series with R1 class for the whole series. Get ready for the adrenaline!!!

Rules:

1. No make up races. If you get abducted by aliens, then oh well, race the following week when they bring you back.

2. No restarts. We all have those races where we have a bad start, no reason to penalize those who had a good start.

3. If you lose connection in a race, then you will get the last place of those still racing points. Example, if you are in 2nd place and lose your connection and there are 8 ppl racing, then you will be awarded points for 8th place. My connection isn't the greatest either.
Note: IF host loses or more than 2 racers (3 0r more) lose connection during any given race, then the race will be restarted or rescheduled.

4. Races will start on time. Only one exception to this. If you can give 24 hours notice that you will be no later than 15 minutes late, then we can wait. Otherwise we will have everyone else waiting for one and some of us don't have a lot of time to burn.

5.If more than 8 people show up, then we will run 2 rooms to be divided by your current rankings. The top half goes in one room and the bottom half goes in the other room. Scoring will be per room, not a combined of the two rooms, so no need to keep race times. This will give those who are not as fast of racers a chance to catch up with some of the top racers and give the top racers more of a challenge to stay there.

6. Pit stops are optional. If you can run with red tires and no fuel, then more power to you.

7. No races will be held on holiday weekends.

Did you vote and post in the day and time poll for the series? It kind of looks like it as there are 6 votes and 5 posting here. Will the 7 pm pacific time work for you GG?

Yeah I saw that, Friday and Saturday nights are times I spend with the wife ... I won't be able to join competitively, but I would love to race with you guys every now and then if I'm home those nights.
