The Farm Truck Challenge (Stage 2 - Results!)

[BlastersPewPew]

Same here but I still feel mine is slow.

[Madrias]

I think mine's kinda quick around the Automation Test Track, but I'm thinking it'll be the slowest of all of 'em down the drag strip. It's just so heavy.

[Sillyworld]

Well, mine is definitey bringing the running average time up

[koolkei]

i only remember that mine is just several second faster than my BRC66 car.

[KLinardo]

I have absolutely no perspective on what 'astonishingly fast' on the AT track means. All I know is that my truck is kind of faster than I remember it.

Let's call it astonishingly fast for a truck.

Let me know when you've finished checking/reviewing all the trucks as I have an update for the pickup body that would change some things (namely morphs and drag coeffcient) and could skew the results, so I figure I'll wait until this competition is finished before I post the update. On the bright side, the double cabs can get bigger and versions with bed covers now exist.

Well... finishing the reviews in the same manner of Stage 1 might take... a while. The release of your updates could preclude doing another round of video reviews. I'll figure it out. I should have the stats I need to actually score the challenge relatively soon.

In other news, I didn't lose power and my truck got me everywhere I wanted to go. It's a tank. But, I work with my University's Department of Public Safety and let's just say that double time was on the table and that I worked quite a bit in pursuit of that overtime. (Like 9 hours one day, 15.5 the next, 9 today). I pushed quite a few cars out of the snow and just helped with the random stuff that comes up in the realm of public safety during a blizzard (i.e. digging out police cars that we're not equipped with 4WD from their parking spots [read: snow covered tombs] once the snow stopped falling).

That being said, I didn't do much challenge-wise this weekend.

Edit: As of this edit, all submitted trucks have been inspected. There were still quite a few DQs. Check your inbox and OP for details. There will be no deadline extensions, so check quickly.

[thecarlover]

In that case, let me know about the stats. With the changes I'm doing with the morphs, the bed on all trucks and the back of the double cabs might get skewed while all trucks will be a bit faster with a reduced drag coefficient value. I'm more worried about what the modified morphs will do to the entries.

[KLinardo]

The challenge is closing in a few minutes, so you should be fine very shortly. If you can wait 30 minutes - an hour, you shouldn't have any effect on the scores.

Edit: We are closed and I don't see anything in my inbox that would count as pending. Go ahead with your updates.

That moment when you realize that your "Sport Truck" is going to be worse that your "Big Truck"

[KLinardo]

Two things:
1) I have yet to apply bonus points, and the competition is extremely tight in some places. There could be some interesting shuffling going on.
2) I finally get to post the final average of the ATT Times. Sorry for the long post, but I'm going Clarkson on this one.

Your trucks made an average run around the ATT in 2 Minutes

Twenty-

Two point 5 seconds.


(That's 2:22.46 or 142.4575s for spreadsheet calculations.)

Awww yeah suck my extra rich exhaust!

(I just really didn't want to post a below average time)

[Madrias]

I get to join Strop in the Above Average club! Seems like I made a few design decisions in my favor for that one. My drag strip time's gonna be a drag, though.

[carskick]

I'm not sure if I was aggressive enough. Though I lost low end torque, I gained Gas Milage... lol

Anyone else's sports truck get 12MPG? Should have used more fuel...

[koolkei]

WOOOOT 2:16 second FTW!
