We have been victimized by a DOS attack from a known source. This is being taken care of. Thanks to those of you who attended and I appologize for what has transpired. I'm working activly to fix this issue in time for tomorrow's Realistic NASCAR Open Series event

Layout loaded

First night races of the year are tonight (Nationwide) and tomorrow (Cup)

Trucks at Rockingham on Sunday

Speeds in yesterday's testing were greater than last years pole speed of 190 average and they were around 192 for the top times

I was thinking that this would be a great race if it wasn't messy. I know now that it won't be clean nor will it be a great race even if it is :|

Take them to a track that has a pitlane or make the track add one.. For future reference if you want to make me happy (like that matters though to NASCAR)

Bring the Mansfield truck race back

The Format for the Eldora truck race has been announced: http://www.nascar.com/en_us/ne ... ude-qualifying-races.html

2 lap standard qualifying, 5 heat races, 1 LCQ, and a 150 lap feature split into 3 segments of 60, 50, 40. Not really sure why the race required segments .

Since there's not a pit lane they will have "non-competitive pit-stops" between each segment.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

sunday's do

Yes, but the RNOS is running this Sunday, and I have to go to work just after that's over.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

smart, same time as gt1

There aren't really many choices. Weekdays don't work

This event will happen as scheduled this Saturday

Quote from chanoman315 :

On which channel of directv is nascar? I couldnt find where to watch it.

When we had DirecTV Speed Channel was on channel 607 (Fox Sports 1 it will become this summer) and FOX was 28, but you're likely looking for your local FOX affiliate, so I couldn't tell you that for certain

Hope this helps

Quote from JackDaMaster :

wtf happened to mark martin in qualifying??

I beleive he said they got behind by teaching him how to drive Martinsville on Friday, but by Saturday they both got a handle on it, and even after some issues today he and the #11 ended up 10th .

Danica finished 12th, but her car was good enough to win.. if somebody else was driving it

Qualifying is underway There's still time to join us

Conditions for today's race will be sunny with high winds.

Weather conditions will be determined based upon this link: http://uk.weather.com/weather/today/JMXX0003:1:JM

It's Jeffery

Well, at Phoenix and Bristol right front tire problems have been prevalent with the Gen-6 car thanks to brake heat. Martinsville definitely has what it takes to be worse than both of these combined. Goodyear has brought a new tire compound developed last August for this car unlike Bristol's tire which was from last year. Will it be an issue this weekend?

Would those drivers who are interested please post here? Thank you

I sadly am going to be required to move this event to next Saturday, April 13th. I just found out that I will be working at the time that this event was previously scheduled

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

Dibs, I'm interested.

Any skins needed?

No skins required, but they are encouraged if you'd like .

No, this is an entirely different kind of event. In this event you're not racing around in circles, you're not going to be trying to pass people, or even try and see how fast you can go. This event is all about the last man standing, and nothing else.

Date: April 13, 2013 @ 13:00 GMT
Location: [RN] Cup Series
TeamSpeak Required at: ts.ident-racing.net
Channel: Competitor's Room (the ability to speak is not required)

Competitors will be put into a 1 acre square on BL3 (Carpark) in the FXO. The green flag will be given, and competitors will be allowed to crash into other opponents in attempt to disable the drivability of their car.

A car will be called out under the following conditions:
-Entry is not attempting or unable to make aggressive contact (warning first)
-Entry is unable to move
-Entry is lagging (warning first)
-Entry has been knocked out of bounds

Hitting cars into Armco barriers in a manner which is intended to knock them out of the arena is prohibited. Please make contact with intention to disable, and not to knock out of the arena.

If there are 10 or less entries there will simply be a single duel to the death between all these cars, but if there are 11+ cars there will be heats and A and B main competitions.

Once you are called out by an official you will be asked to change your driver name to "OUT". This will be all in red. The number of cars transferring to the A-main from each heat (if heats are needed) will be announced prior to the start of each heat. Once this number of cars is achieved the heat will be ended. Cars who fail to make the A-Main will be put into the B Main where they will have a chance to transfer into the A-main.

Server will be free to join without password.

If you're interested post here saying that you are interested in participating. You do not need to do anything but show up in order to participate though

Come out and join us for some beating, banging and absolutely smashing good time!

Quote from Sobis :

You mean moved back a week, not forward, right?

Well, forward in terms of closer to the current time. I should refrain from using the terms of forward and backwards with time I suppose

Race has been moved to May 12th

The Roadster 175 has been moved forward a week to May 12th due to the fact that I will be graduating from high school on the previously scheduled date of May 19th.

May 12th at 14:00 GMT will be the new date for the Roadster 175

Quote from dekojester :

First Kyoto 250 to experience a Red Flag.

I had a feeling that would happen when you made the comment that you did during the Kyoto 400

Reminder to all competitors that the first practice session for the Stock Car 250 will be tomorrow at 13:00 GMT. Hope to see you there and Happy Easter
