I just checked, the server is up and running... Tell me, did you guys get close to the halfway mark of the race? If the answer is yes, instead of rescheduling the race, you could call the race if you did at least 50 percent of the race, instead of rescheduling it. Think about it... Hopefully someone saved there replay. Nope unfortunately this time we didn't make it past 50%. Like ryan said 49% finished for some of the speed demons ;D . opps, I didn't see your post, when I made mine.. You must of hit the reply button at the exact same time as me.. lol But like I said, to Ryan, you guys have to make the decision on what you wanna do. I just do site work for the series. The dirty work you guys have to decide on..

The dirty work you guys have to decide on.. I was heading into lap 10 if my memory serves me right. So thats past the 9/18 point Though i do not mind a 'reboot' of the race, it was a pitty when leading and then coming to a halt like that. I am for a rerun of the race. It's not the first time to happen though. Kyalami saw the same issue. No pattern yet, but if happens again, that looks like a problem. cheers, Triz

This time it seems the server did indeed crash. For the last few years we have not experienced any problems what so ever.. Also Blaxman runs on Tuesday night on the exact same server with 12 + racers and there has not been any type of server crashes. But, Triz does have a good idea brewing.. It wouldn't be a bad idea if maybe heatfinder or if Karl or Chris would like to boot up a server for races on Saturdays.. Yes, I still enjoy racing on occasion, but I'm totally more focused on modding and other things. It would be a slice of heaven if Karl would become a little bit more active again. Or if one of you guys would like to donate a server for Saturdays.. I know Chris has a heat server. I've been paying for a heat server for a few years now. Wouldn't mind if someone else decided to do it...

Due to circumstances this Will be a 13 lap race. No pitting required , fuel lasted 15laps in practice for me. We will do a Pace lap thru the 1st chicane and go green when final car exits chicane. Hey Spike, Can I ask why we are we only running 13 laps?

So umm, what we gonna do now? I'm not going to hit that cheater trap next time! That's what I'm gonna do. Uhm Ryan, you forgot about this? Looked like you caught a few traps again. If you hadn't it could have been a race with a few position changes.

If you hadn't it could have been a race with a few position changes. Yeah, i did, I hit one, and hit a wall. Then the next chicane the car wouldn't turn at all. So from damage, and tire wear, I hit a third one! The second run I ran perfectly. As evidenced by the top time. what was sad is that when i knew i did it wrong when i hit the first one. went in too deep in that second chicane.

For sure you were pushing very hard Ryan looking at your top time (official fastest lap as mine was only set in a praccy). I decided to stay clear of the traps (by going slower) taking less risks which in the end resulted the win. In the end I had enough clearance to cruise to the finish. I was 2nd for a while following Chris, eventually he too got into the clutches of a cheater trap which enabled me to just pass and pretty much cruise all the way. I didn't have the need to push. Only the final lap I tried to go go as fast as possible, but made an error in the hair pin of the final part of the track. All in all a good result for me And good fun keeping up with Chris and staying ahead of Ryan for the first part of the race! cheers, Triz
