Barely Street Legal League [SURVEY ON PAGE 70]

Can I change the car before Bonneville and return to my current set up for the rest of the season?

One of the problems of my car is the lack of top speed, being able to reduce the aero would help me with that.

I and the rest of the Centauri team stand behind our project. The Vindicatior stands ready for all challenges and challengers.

Leo: unfortunately not, there are two ways of explaining this:

1) not enough time to make a proper modification, the only thing I will allow is complete removal of any fixtures without the opportunity to put it back on later, because you'll have literally enough time to rip it off and wreck the mountings I'll otherwise only allow the modifications as listed above, and only after round 3

2) this is obviously because allowing down force changes for round 3 only would wreck the balance of the competition, since a top speed run was included to shift the balance away from the super track beasts that are glued to the road.

how much can one change of the car?

Build it, bring it, drive it, or go home. That is the order of things.

NO DO-OVERS!!!

Ha, one after my own heart. Just FYI none of the GG cars are going to change their setup. However some of the foibles in certain other setups are just so debilitating that I couldn't help but offer...

Gosh that takes me back, NFS:Underground was one of the freshest releases back in its day. And it actually had a damn good soundtrack. My go-to quintessential drag racing song is Black Betty.

Two things; one, would we be able to see who isn't competing and two, would we miss out on bonus points when they're given out at the event we missed?

[strop]

1) If the competitor hasn't notified publicly on this thread, then you will only find out they haven't shown up when the round commences, where I will explicitly mention they haven't shown up.

2) Good question. That's the other gamble, yes. Currently the points are fixed, but if you happen to miss a round where I award bonus points (and no, you don't get to know which bonus points they are, though you may be able to work it out based on what I've been awarding thus far), you WILL miss out on those points. You won't get to know that you did, either, unless you check your stats, because I will remove the relevant entry from the excel spreadsheet. So you'll just have to try and guess not only whether you stand to benefit, and what everybody else is going to do.

I don't get it.... we need to RP so you know we are going for the next round or something

[3rayman3]

After the rejection from Kristina, Rayyan strolled back to the HFF and chugged the remainder of his whisky and with a face full of determination he strapped ready for the next leg to the legendary Salt Flats of Bonneville and rehearsing his next move on Kristina as his main focus shifted from winning the crazy wheels title to getting it on with Kristina.

[DuratecDriver]

@Hellboy:
No, he said that if a competitor wants to retire from the next race and decides to say nothing here on the thread, but instead only pms Strop with his decision to not partecipate, then Strop will say it explicitely at the beginning of that event.

[strop]

No no, you don't have to do *anything* if you're planning to turn up for the next round. After all I have all the data already. You either need to announce in thread or PM me if you're planning to miss a specific round. RPing in thread is optional.

Either way I reiterate, regardless you will get a chance to retune after round 3 (and that tune will apply to round 4-8, no further changes). And I don't exactly encourage people just skipping rounds all that much and retuning their cars, because that creates more work for me

[strop]

Okay, 3rayman3, before you go on with that, I need to make sure you're really clear on a number of things (and 07cobaltgirl, please feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong or you decide otherwise): As far as I know, Kristina (for the purposes of this tournament) is 44, an ex-marine, and wearing steel toed boots. She was being nice to you the first time, but I would not recommend messing with the lady, and can't guarantee it will go so well for you if you're gonna make it about soliciting the lady...

In real, non-roleplay terms, if any aspect of the roleplay becomes offensive or intolerable (in this particular case that is for 07cobaltgirl to decide), as the host I'll have to take action, and the easiest course of action would be a direct request to cease and desist, on threat of ejection from the tournament. At this stage I've obviously got no reason to do that, but I'm just saying this as fair notice, and that does go for everybody!
