    Probably. Wouldn't be my choice, but this group is good about not abusing it and it lets newcomers have a solid chance at staying on the lead lap.

    @Adrianstealth Not sure what the damage settings are @ race day. I know I've blown engines in the last 2 races but unsure if that is part of damage or not.

    Adrianstealth...yes we run with no damage because it's a fun only race...we will restart on occasion if the start gets too goofy. Of course you can still flat-spot your tires and blow your motor but no suspension or other damage. No points, no damage, no grief (unless you blow the motor eh Paul?) just fun!!
    Hope to see you come out and race with us!

    Got to agree, there's lots of fun. Good range of driver pace so we all get involved in our "race within a race" scenario. Every one is clean and respectful. Not a lot of tracks we've raced since I've been there that are conducive to damage other than car to car contact. Usually big runoffs etc.

    Ok thanks
    I’ll give this miss as with no damage the temptation is to high to bounce the car off walls & other cars just for fun so I’ll be way to disruptive

    Have big fun though
    Cheers

    its a mature group... nobody is really into bouncing off anything , you will be a lap down in no time if you did that anyhow - the f3;s require clean lines and any scrubbing of speed kills you - we hit each other sometimes at the starts or t1 but its rare (mel and i are magnets for example and brian drinks too much, then theres tucker who wont quali and may or may not want to race us ) , if you have a really bad off the no damage helps keep you from quitting out , collect it up and get going again and see if you can catch everyone now cruising away from you -most of us have raced together for some time so its pretty friendly - some guys are a bit faster than others but these cars can produce some close battles in the right conditions , currently noone can keep up to emery though so we could use someone who can go his speed , hedlund can but he hasnt been around much =- maybe the time change will bring some more Europeans out

    Hedlund is in his own league, LOL. Hardtohandle is my archrival. And there's a couple others.

    @Emery....Sorry mate but it's been decided I have to go out so won't make it on for laps. Got to leave in an hour and will be away for 4 or 5 hrs.

    We had 6 guys (Emery, Cookie, Chris, Mel, Me and one more...) on Friday for a fun short race session. 2:09's are needed for running up with the gifted...2:11's were good for mortals. Great track/car combo BB!

    Backfire was the other and, in addition to winning, he dialed in some 2:08 laps. I was a total flub the first two laps with a spin and sloppiness... knew I should have taken a warmup lap, but was trying to conserve my strength.

    Have a good time this afternoon without me!
