Anyone have opinions on the tracks listed? I'm debating the schedule length right now as well. Input is always appreciated. Also I'll try to upload the setups I've been working with to let you guys try them out and get used to them. A word of advice though, these setups take finesse to drive, you can't just flat foot it out of the corners and expect to not spin out (in most cases). They're very fun once you get used to them though and pretty fast. I believe I was running a low to mid 13 second lap at Bristol with these cars. I love short tracks, but the only track I really couldn't see racing is Bristol. In the last series with the G2 cup mod, there was a ton of scrap metal left behind after that race. Now dirt tracking and short tracks with some bumping and banging I'm all for with this mod. I guess it's me personally with Bristol. I've always enjoyed racing it in years past, but for some reason with the way you want this series to be, that is one track I think I would forget about.. Take this with a grain of salt, I would race it no matter what. Just giving you my .02cents.

I'm not sure what the deal was with that race, one of the most destructive Bristol races we've had here. Main reason I was considering it for these cars was the fact that the I believe Whelen Modifieds have a pretty big race there. I do see the possibility of things turning into total chaos once again if we run there though. A few of the others I'm considering could also be chaos depending on the number of cars.

Here are some setups to play around with, they're decent in most cases but others are still a work in progress. Attachments:

Anyone have a chance to test any of those setups? If so I'd like suggestions and opinions. I haven't had a chance to run any of them again since posting them so what I currently have is the same as what's posted.

What I have messed with so far has seemed ok, Though I haven't ran many laps at any place. I like Richmond it's a setup I see very driveable and adaptable for all. Mesa seemed comfortable as well. Alot of this I think will just have to be getting adjusted to the mod and how the cars drive.

Thanks for the input cr, that was my feeling on it as well, but we all have seen people complain about identical setups. Funny thing is, it's usually the people who never even did a practice run complaining.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick status update, I haven't had a chance to do any more setup testing or work on a schedule, between work and the race car I just plain haven't had the time. As soon as I do get the time though, I'll post the schedule along with setups and open the sign-ups. If anyone has any questions about the mod, tracks, how things will be run or anything else, feel free to ask them here.

Well our last series was run on Thursdays and we've always run on either Tuesday's or Thursdays. If some other league decided they wanted to run on a day that's always been ours and I decide we're running that same day, that's their problem since they took our day.

Well before SpeedSims ventured into having races on Tuesday nights, Vip I did talk to you about it a few months ago if you were okay with us having races on Tuesday nights. At that time you were fine with it, since you were having races on Thursday nights.

Thursday has been our night for quite some time and the night we will be running once we get going again. If there is another league running that night, oh well.

i finally got around to testing some setups out, yours seem fine by me. Some tracks you will actually have to practice though. i know everyone hates that word "practice". the only league that is currently running on Thursdays is jes's league with the renegades. they currently are scheduled for: 4/5, 4/19, 5/3, 5/17, 5/31, and 6/14. there is some wiggle room with open dates but you are correct in Thursday being nasr's night so if the schedules do happen to conflict, not really anything you can do about it. They knew going in that nasr runs on Thursdays.

Depending on how things go around here (first race is Friday, car still isn't together), we could possibly schedule in between their races, which would give more time to get things updated around here. I'm curious though, how many people race in that league that race here as well? If we don't share any people, it wouldn't really matter anyway if our schedule conflict.

We'll see what we can do. Luckily missing races won't matter a whole lot with the system I intend to use for this.
