Understood that it's more immersive, but do you think you're faster with the Rift? Assuming reasonable graphics resolution and refresh rate (which it sounds like the DK2 has), I can't see why you wouldn't be, but maybe there's something I'm not taking into account.

Anyone know what happens to DK2 buyers when the consumer release comes out? Do they get a credit on the purchase of a consumer unit at least?

DK2 is 75hz, so it's plenty fast, just low resolution and the interface is not fully developed yet. Rift will certainly translate better to the real world compared to flat screens.

No compensation for DK2, it's on it's own and we'll all be buying the CV1 all over again. As it should be... but I bought facebook stock so that takes the edge off a bit

Does 7:00 CDT work? I was thinking like 50 minute qualifying with a 10 minute race at the end to practice the starts. Or we can do a 2 hour session if people want more time.

MX5 Cup FTW

Also you can just run 4 races in D class, get your SR up to 4.00, and then it will automatically bump you up to C license

I haven't done it in a long time but it's pretty close to a SPB. It's fun but there are a lot of idiots out there.

True on both counts. I've found that if you can get your iRating above 2000, the idiots thin out quite a bit

We may want to consider a standing start for Wednesday...the tight trn right before S/F straight makes it really tough to keep the field together. I'm up for either though.

Also, we found out that 3 wide through T3 can work...kind of...lol
