    Well done to the podium...not a big grid this week!

    My first hosting, glad there were no hiccups...thanks for the advance notice to all the people giving heads up that they wouldn't be there - was still wondering if @AroGantz @Pixeliz3d_DoD @skintsaint @VARDZ might turn up, but got to qual time and we went with the 6 that were there. I thought I could see everybody, though later realised how would I know if I couldn't and they weren't in chat party?...though a few of us were in the party and all seemed well.

    I only did a handful of laps in practise for this, the most productive of which @Ozglenn raced around with me giving me some tips, made a great difference, first lap I beat my previous best of 8:30 by 5 seconds and did a few more a bit quicker too.

    With such a long outlap and only one qually hotlap, I figured I better make it count and be conservative enough to not wipe out and spin. Which worked great until I gained confidence following @deedz_aus around, and spun in the first few turns of the hotlap. So I backed right off and did a qually about 8:45, almost a muinute slower than pole...I got a photo but didn't upload before turning off playstation for the night, think it was @Easyprey007 ?

    Off to a good start, though @robin edwards clipped the grass just before turn 1 and came flying past us all sideways...I held second for a minute until race pace sorted itself out. With no stragey for fuel/ tyres, I figured I would use RH and pit when needed, turns out 2 stop seemed efficient, slippery tyres are lethal here!

    I followed deeds for a while, 15 seconds behind when pitting on lap 4, though a spin lost me 15 seconds and he put another 15 seconds between us to put him 45 seconds in front by pitting at lap 8. @colin-50_ disconnected at pit exit in front of me after what looked like a park and AFK with no handbrake, at the start of his lap 7/ my lap 8. Lonely race from there, though I was racing to lap RAE - which I ended up doing at the end of my lap 9 while he was in pits. Towards the end of the race I was racing to stay within 3 mins of the leader, so I could actually record a race time...though a lap or two or i saw it wouldn't happen...so I was just hoping to get on to the final straight...which I did, was 3:30 mins or so behind by the end of the race, RAE was about halfway? through his lap at the time...

    I'm still in two minds about next week...I usually go to Dads to watch origin with everyone, I might do that...or set up a TV next to the PS4 and keep an eye on the score...or just wait till I finish racing and see if Origin "Kick off lotto" is in my favour. No-one knows when kick off will be, scheduled for 8pm but can be 30 mins early or late. A usual halftime period of 10 mins would see the game end at 930, which would be after the end of the race...so I might catch the all important last 20 mins of the game...

    Sorry Jonesy, I told Pat last week I wouldn't be there and didn't realise he wasn't hosting this week.

    I didn't realise until 7pm either! I checked the forum at lunch, but he posted just after that.

    All good to both though, we coped OK. I got everything up and then realised I was still running retro livery...but with people on track I just ran with it...and I had already reset them because I used 730 not 830!

    You've got 30 mins of practice to start doing 2.04s or you're sleeping on the couch!

    So as it turns out she says to do it, we are stuck at home with the kids anyway that night.

    Not sure if that really means do it. I think I'll sign up tonight if i don't detect critical mass levels of sarcasm.

    When she said "offer him $3,000" for a motorbike advertised at $3,500 she apparantely didn't mean buy the bike and ride it home. I slept in the spare bed that night.

    I did 2 gr3 daily races at bathurst last night, first Q was 2:08, second was 2:06. My fastest lap was 2:05. That was without extra weight though...though div4 doesn't have much extra.

    No. You wife isn't a person to make random offers on items for sale without the intent on purchasing, is she?

    No ballast for Div 4. BOP differs from GTS' BOP setup. Tuning is enabled.

    Was it a good bike?

    I had a similar experience that is I was at the shops looking at a TV for my rig without The wife knowing...
    I Smsd Her and said how you feel about me purchasing a new TV for my rig.
    Her reply was ok you deserve it.
    When she came into the room as I was hanging a 55 inch curved 4k TV on the wall.
    Her look was Priceless.
    Not one I will forget for a while...

    I'm out for the rest of the season as well, I'm concentrating on the pcars enduro race this weekend and the last 2 tracks don't really interest me.

    ROUND 6 : Dragon Trail Gardens II - 32 laps at 06:30 Sunny - 24/6

    As always please take 2 mins to read the following so you have an understanding of what is expected on race night......If you have any questions, or want clarification on any of the rules or regs please ask !

    ROOM OPEN : Most room captains will 'try' to have rooms open by about 7:50 AEDT. Please be on time, or let the room captain or div thread if you may be late. If all agree, the room may wait for you, Within reason. Please remember we have drivers from NZ, and later starts mean a much later night for them.
    QUALIFYING : 8:20 AEDT
    RACE START TIME : 8:30 AEDT

    LAG ISSUES / ROOM RESTARTS : This is up to the room host. If there is a Disconnection (or cars stuck on grid) at race start, it is sporting to try to get them back in, which may mean a new room to be set up. I always look at 1 or 2 starts if required due to DSC, but as it gets later everyone needs to be aware of getting things going. Please be as reasonable as you can with this....
    SIGHT ISSUES: Ensure that you can see everyone on track. After qualifying, exit to lobby and spend 30 seconds in spectate mode, scroll through the list of drivers on track and make sure that you can see their car. If you can't see somebody (and they are confirmed as being on track), exit the lobby, re-join, and check again. It can also be done pre-qualifying to save time if there is no chance of latecomers.


    TURN 1 LAP 1 : This has the potential to ruin someones night if we dont use our heads ! Should be everyone's goal to get through the first phase with ZERO contact. Give room and run in your 'lane' till you have space to run the normal race line.

    TRACK LIMITS : As we are running with 'track limit penalties" OFF, we will run with our usual Raceonoz track limit regulations. This means you MUST have at least 2 wheels on the ripple strip OR white line that defines the track limit. If you do make a mistake and have to run outside the limits, be aware that you are not allowed to gain any advantage.

    CONTACT : Is to be avoided at all times..... If you rear end someone and gain an advantage, YOU ARE EXPECTED to give the spot back. Side by side 'rubbing' is racing, within reason, but all drivers are expected to give racing room.

    COMPULSORY TYRE : You can start on either RH or RM tyres. But MUST at least use RH during the race at some point.

    PIT ENTRY : Drivers MUST make an attempt to use the pit entry / exit lines.
    PIT EXIT : Please use the pit exit lane and be aware of cars approaching down the straight.
    NOTE: Pitting is NOT compulsory


    BLUE FLAGS : Please observe blue flags, and move out of the way of faster cars if you are being lapped. Failure to observe blue flags WILL result in a penalty

    STEWARDS GROUP AND RACE PROTESTS : This season the stewards will be will be @Hatfield @JonoStan96 @Viperzed & @emmo46. If you have reason to protest, please SAVE YOUR REPLAY, and then let us know via a PM.

    DO NOT BLOW UP IN THE FORUM OR IN THE ROOM CHAT. There have been multiple incidents where the replays from drivers have been different, so its true that sometimes things are not as black and white as they may seem. You have until MIDNIGHT, Monday night to register your protest via PM. We will ask for video evidence from both drivers or room captain to make any decision.

    SAVE YOUR REPLAY : If the room host can ask all drivers to save their replay would be good before exiting the room.....once they exit out and the option goes, it cant be retrieved !

    ORIGIN : If you are unable to attend on Sunday, please post in your division thread so that the room Captain is aware of your absense.
