I just dislike leaving my system off for a few days then having to deal with a multitude of Windoze updates and, more frequently it seems, iRacing updates.

Well, that was bust. Taken out before the S/F (flipped over), full tow, and the car was never right after that. Tried a couple of repairs, but after three repairs (plus a black flag for speeding out of the pits) it was pretty clear I was just a rolling speed bump.
Some amazing times by the top 4 or 5 guys...

Internal dialogue from the start of the race: "don't jump the start, don't jump the start, don't jump the start, holy $hit the guy in front of me is going, I missed the start..." nope, we both jumped it. Grrr. Then a big crash up the hill on my first lap out of the pit pretty much ruined the race for me.
Nice job everyone else!
I might start just doing the practice and qualifying with you guys since I can't seem to race with my head screwed on.
I'll be traveling out of state next week, so I'll see you guys in a couple weeks.

I've been testing the Dallara at Indy since the NTM came out and I'm finally getting a stable, but fast set of setups put together...just broke into the 39's last night. I'll zip them up and post them here this weekend, along with a note about setting up the weight-jacker for in-car adjustments.
Chas, can I recommend we have a rolling start, full course cautions, and unlimited tows for this race? Standing starts in the Dallara tend to be pretty disastrous anyway, and given the CXC history of the last couple of weeks it's be good to at least get the field through T1

I was going to do a rolling start (not sure if you can do a standing start on an oval in iracing?)
as for full course yellows, not sure how that will work in a 20 minute (or even 20 lap) race; on the ovals a yellow is min. 3 laps; at pace car speed that's 6 minutes or more. the whole race would be under caution!

A twenty minute race will give us about a 30 lap race, if we stay under green. My only concern about running local or no yellows is if someone does wreck, it takes a few seconds to come to a stop to escape into a tow, and with the field running 220-230 mph, things happen really, really fast.
Here's an additional suggestion: instead of the standard 1 hour practice, 30 minute qualifying, 20 minute race, how about 1 hour practice, 4 lap single car qualifying, just like the big boys (shouldn't take more than 10 minutes), then a 50 lap race: 50 laps under green would be about a thirty minute race, and would still get us done by 9:30. Also, a 50 lapper would mean 1 pit under green, something we don't often do by intention.
