Sorry for dropping so many races, but I'll definitely be there for Sebring and Sonoma.
Marc, awesome blog post!

I'll try to get some practice today, I hope and hope I'll be able to run. Any setups?
Marc shared his setup with me last night and it seems pretty good but this is such a bumpy track that one little mistake will put you in a wall.

I'm going to have to baby it around the track today, I don't think I put down more than 6 laps in a row last night :eek:

If I see you online tonight I'll happily share it. Right now I can't, I'm at work :icon_confused:

They were dropping like flies halfway through! I only got seventh from some lucky lucky breaks... and by breaks, I mean other cars breaking.

Not a great car/track combo, in my opinion. Made for a few interesting laps or so, but the car in general there is not great. Was already thinking about next week after the first few laps... to VIR we go?

Sorry guys I've been incredibly busy for a variety of reasons, and my time through the past 4 weeks to spend on practicing has dwindled to almost nothing. Mainly the little time I've had I've spent playing other games... even then though it's not enough time to rack up practice to come close enough to competing.

Hopefully things clear up but good luck to the team.

Wow B2O Team A took second place in the Team Standings, great work Marc, you did most of it!

Not sure if these changes were pointed out somewhere:


  • The races are 8:30 EST (or is that the session start time, then 40 min practice and 20 min quali?) now.
  • Taking 4 tires is no longer required and thus pit stops are not mandatory. This is in line with Official Series, which will limit fuel loads on some races.

Do we have teams sorted out? Ken do you want to be the "non-committal" B2O team C? Do we want something minor on our paints that differentiates the teams?

This has already been brought up somewhere and I put Marc in charge of the Roster. Based off my MPR from last season I did 8 races which puts me only 1 race out of the entire season so I was to be moved to Team B.

...correct me if I'm wrong Marc.

As for the paints let's just leave them be. I jumped the gun based off input by someone shortly after joining GRA assuming our paints would be an issue.

Right now we have the rims, mirrors and names to differentiate us as drivers which should be good enough. My guess is we'll always be rotating team members based off MPR so I'd hate to differentiate Teams on the paints, it just means more work.

You're right regarding the paints. I'm not sure what you mean by rotation (team members, etc). I only hope/assume on a season-to-season basis.

Band of Others - B
#15 - Windell Stratton
#808 - Noël Luneburg

Band of Others - Independent
#95 - Ken Lindberg

We're going to have to get on this then asap Marc because that's incorrect.

I think there was some confusion regarding Windell's participation but my last conversation with Marc had him pondering Noel and Windell together.

Since they're our strongest Drivers then they should be Team A with Marc and whomever he decides in Team B (based off MPR I'd wager) and so on.

My suggestion is our strongest drivers occupy Team A and the remainder are based off MPR.

I agree. But let's not have anyone floating around without a team mate this season, especially when we have enough for three full teams. There's no disadvantage to having a team mate, and if we have an even number then we should run with a team mate.
