Season 35 Discussion

[dlogan]

Had a bit of fun on Thurs. night, nice to see Rob Burns back.

As far as server went, anyone have connection problems? All seemed good from my end. No word yet on if we'll
keep using Speedcenter7 for the entire season but it's ours on Thursdays for now. As I don't know about
using it on Tues. for the practice sessions, I'll have it up early on Thursday to make sure we're all
connecting/set up properly before the real race. Either Dean_0 or I will host practice session on Tues.

So, looks like all systems go for Season 35 launch on Thursday, March 11, regular time.

Proposed schedule (anything need to be changed? lemme know ASAP please):

Mar. 11 Clermont-Ferrand 1965
Mar. 18 East London 1967
Mar. 25 Mexico 1967
Apr.  1  Monaco 1967
Apr.  8  Monza 1967
Apr. 15 Nurburgring 1967
Apr. 22 Silverstone 1967
Apr. 29 Spa-Francorchamps 1967
May  6 Watkins Glen 1967
May 13 Zandvoort 1967

As far as cars go, open season. I think Lapo's system is happier if you stick with one car thru the
whole season, so please plan on that. No team championship this time, too few regular runners at this point.

Dean_0 and I are on iGOR most evenings, feel free to stop by for funruns.

Nice schedule, Dean. I'll work on adding it to the website.

Dean-O,  after last nights run, you mght want to re-think your car choice.  I tried the cooper for awhile, 5-6 seconds off of DL's pace in the ferrari.  I went to the Honda and was still 4 seconds off pace.  I say this cause last season the 4 of us were the main perps each week and I just want us to be fairly close again, if possible.

Car choice will be more important than usual with so few drivers. Any interest in going all one make?

Spec season is not going to happen this time:
1) 25 1/2 hours before the off is not the time to be discussing this, with 3 months having elapsed since the last season ended
2) especially with so few running, I do not want to lose runners due to the "oh, I really don't like car X, you guys don't want me to win" thing...
If anyone wants to run a different car at different tracks, I have no problem with that. I'm sure the scoring aspect could be handled.

If we want to start Season 36 discussion right now, I'm all ears, but a new thread would be more appropriate.
