nice one, see what poeple say about april, hopefuly youlle be able to come then. im gonna be awful as well tbh, i know the track but completly lack talent, but i enjoy it thats the main thing

hey victor

would it be possible to have a subsection for the south east karting meet im organising:http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=64583

i know its not strictly an lfs event but it would make life alot easier and not clog up the general discussion area.

there are cheaper options but it would mean less track time which with people potentiallty travelling for it i dont want to do really. about the dates, one good thing about that date is that there is a formula 6 race in the morning so if anyone did turn up early there would be somehting to watch. also for anyone who is coming from further afield there is a travel lodge in the town, unfortunatly i havent got a big enough house to put anyone up fo the night

@tristan: if you tell me what dates you can do that would be good, and on the subject fof cheering you on, your at brands this year arnt you? if you are may have to come watch

edit2: if everyone is ok with april ill see what he has free then

Finally managed to talk to my uncle today.

wasnt sure what date to have it so he recomended the 19th june at 2pm but as thats my dads birthday and also probably lemans weekend its only a tempurary date and i can change it to suit what people want.

Due to driver numbers we would have to run teams of 2 drivers doing an enduro, the best option is a 15 min practice and a 50 min race which would be £50 per driver (£100 per team). we would be using twin engine karts which have an age limit of 18 or require you to have an msa license/ or other proof of being an experianced karter, we will be limited to a max of 16 karts(32 drivers) so when we start confirming places it will be on a first come, first serve basis.

so in short:
date: 19th june @ 2pm (tbc and sunject to change)
price: £50 per driver (£100 per team)
format: 15min practice 50 min race
karts: twin engine prokart (over 18 or with msa license)
capacity: 16 karts/ 32 drivers

if all those SERIOUSLY interested could recommend a date in april, may or june then we can get things more set in stone

ill see if we can get a seperate area or something to make further discussions easier. if you need any more info just ask

ill see what he says but it will probably be no, it may help if i know your full name to see if he remembers you as with some he does. yes they use the chicane bit not the cut through and yes its standing start

on the subject of date, what sort of time (what month etc) would everyone prefer, im looking to have it when its nice and warm and hopefully dry

also seeing the amount of people interested how would everyone feel about running teams and if so if to have them random(picked out of a hat) or pre arranged

wow come back to my pc to find a loads more posts lol, didn't think there was gonna be much interest but i was wrong
time would be in the summer at some point, have to talk to my uncle to see when the best time would be.

age restriction depends on what karts if we were to run single engine it would be 16 years but if we run twins then it will be 18 (although if someone under that age can supply proof of karting experience there is a possibility of it being lower but no promises as i think its more of an insurance issue)

i think the max number of drivers for twin engine single driver is 16 so depending what people want and how many want to attend we may have to run teams although thats not ideal. and yes we do use the chicane

ill have a talk to my uncle and see what sort of dates we have available and what options in the way of race format, kart numbers, and what the costs will be. then ill open up some polls. in the mean time if you have any questions or ideas just pm me .

its seems like a device basically the same as gigapan was used, it could have even been gigapan that was used, cos it works in practically the same way and they said it was a motorized tripod which gigapan sort of is,as the comments say its not a gigapixel photograph its a gigapixal collage, the differen

im very jealous whe it comes to the case, ive got an older antec 900 and really want the 1200, i got the 900 cos every case i had before wasnt big enough for me but now the 900 seems too small agian so need a bigger one lol

Quote from tristancliffe :

Generally an expensive bit of kit, operated by idiots and interpreted by morons. Don't waste your money. Do it at home - for less money you can buy a bit of string and an inclinometer, and be just as accurate.

yh if you just wanna check the thats fine but the problem is adjusting, it depends how mechanically minded you are and if you know how to, as for finding someone who knows what they are on about try and find one that has been talked about online or something to see if they are any good but my betting is there is something peculiar wrong that isnt very obvious

Quote from danthebangerboy :

As true as this is, if jacks car is ruining tyres as fast as this, then you would expect something to be so extremely wrong that you would see it instantly with your eyes, without the need of any kind of laser alignment gear to show it, i would expect to see a wheel hanging out of the arch at a hideous angle or something to kill a tyre that quickly.

yh good point but any decent mechanic would spot that a mile off, im a tranee and i would if it was that extreme

rofl all i can say, rofl

yh but whats cheaper, a decent wheel alignment, or neading new tyres every 5 mins

you wanna find somewhere(e.g. that does performance car stuff)that have a system that can measure everything extremely accurately and a program analyses all the data to check if everything is ok

a pair of Oakley track day shoes in black suede £72 with express postage

yh in lfs i am typing 29000 or 29999 before and when i check te assignment it shows InSim : port 29000 or 29999

tryed changing both ports, but nothing heres the code form the .log

anyone got it working with xp yet?

when trying to connect i just get a tcp error, and the log file says my p activly refused the connection. windows firewall is turned off (xp), and im doing everything in the order above but no luck

happy birthday

if you can afford it ide say do it tbh lol, it would be great fun and quite interesting to build it maybe as close to lfs spec as you can
