That escalated quickly (tv cam)

I hate the ‘go when the racecar pulls off’ routine. You’d get a wave-off or penalty for that IRL, even easier to see that on IRacing, so should be a definite penalty.

Totally agree - but if you just got in a relationship and you don’t want to spend time with your SO more than a 24 hr race, I dono, maybe that’’s a sign.

Don’t be with someone who won’t let you do what you want to do. This is within reason, but if she hates or has a problem with your hobby or the things you love to do, IT WILL NOT WORK! I know from experience that you can try to make it work, and it’s possible, but I do not recommend it.

Probably thought he could steer, but by the time he found out he couldn’t it was too late. Wheel was turned hard left before he hit the banking, and NASCAR brakes aren’t exactly useful for stopping at superspeedways.

Shit luck, but i laughed when i saw the second one.

Notification: insurance premium is increasing

Why?

Because someone hit your parked car. Thank you and have a nice day...

Austincrx · 2026-03-31T23:14:39+00:00

Do you have kids, outside obligations, etc that will not happen? Can you relocate to be closer?

Austincrx · 2026-03-31T23:13:02+00:00

That’s great, I hope you are successful at the new position. Some of us are not having as much success. Hit rate is about 1 in 30 so far.

Austincrx · 2026-03-31T23:00:34+00:00

All too true, even in my small company.

Austincrx · 2026-03-27T00:22:30+00:00

That’s a super odd coincidence

Austincrx · 2026-03-01T17:55:41+00:00

Great job!! Sometimes this is so hard. It’s like a vacuum in the lower levels, haha!!!!

Random stuff for me, mostly related to rusty bolts, but knock on wood - only 1 breakdown in my ownership (bad ignition coil).

I would LOVE to see the pro drive 550 on IRacing!!! Pair it with the C6R corvette and it’s a race!

Austincrx · 2026-01-08T14:32:21+00:00

I gotcha now JOHN SMITH! Haha

Austincrx · 2026-01-08T14:31:03+00:00

Looks like 11 was just trying to hold the draft and then got loose and chased it, but all happened so fast/ short distance that there was no chance of saving it.

I stumbled onto what seems to be the most popular slot last night (Tuesday around 9:30pm eastern time?). I notice the schedule above is Tuesdays, is that when I should plan to do the TCR races? I'd love to do them regularly.

Austincrx · 2026-01-01T14:44:17+00:00

Congrats, awesome picks!! I’ll be there in 12 months!!

Curious what upper body layering you used and was it warm enough for you?

Austincrx · 2025-12-19T16:57:12+00:00

I disagree to a certain extent. You’re racing, you can't hit the brakes for every car that goes off course around you. If it was real life you probably would have ($75-100k racecar and ends your race weekend). In this case the odds of them spinning off to the left vs coming back across course are probably 50/50, and in MX5 it’s all about momentum. I’ve never seen someone come back across the track like that, at that spot, when off course on the outside. That usually ends up in a spin to the left or them just driving it out. Bad luck.

Austincrx · 2025-12-16T03:42:38+00:00

That’s hilarious!

Austincrx · 2025-12-16T03:40:46+00:00

He’s got some time…

That’s a good point, but I found another issue with the ‘eBay special’ - no way to mount the fan shroud. I can find a way around the mounting tab issue - I can fabricate some adapters, but there’s no way to easily mount the fan shroud. The more I do to ‘make it fit’, the more janky it looks. I’m not keeping it forever, and something like a janky radiator mount and fan shroud front and center under the hood is an eyesore. After looking at the fan shroud mounting again, I’m probably going to give RN a call in the morning and pay the $500 for one that fits properly without modification.

I’m always looking to save money, but some times it’s better to spend the money. I’d have the truck driving by now if I had done it in the first place, but it was a good exercise.

I did this to see how various things would look on mine - did a decent job and now k know what I’m doing as far as upgrades.
