Driving Standards

You will inevitably be punted during the evening (from accidents or lag) but 'revenge' punts just breed more shit driving.
Keep it clean. Even if you think you've been hard done by. Keep it clean.

> Give each other racing room. No other pushing or ramming other cars off the tarmac.
> If you accidentally push or hit a competitor off the track, slow and let them re-pass you to address the situation (apologising via your headset will also help).
> If you deliberately push or hit a competitor off the track, you won't be invited back[/SIZE].

See you all Thursday.

In on this.

[MGR]

Played with the SRT8 a bit last night. Can't seem to find much time in adjusting the tuning settings.

Under, under, under, under.......

[MGR]

BTW, poll is multiple choice this week. So pick one or two if your prefer.

[Fusion]

Had a bit of fun with the SRT8 last night. I found it was easier to lose time playing with the settings then it was to gain time. Possibly my setup, but surprised at the under steer it had.

[Sciflyer]

With racing softs and cutting a bunch of weight i thought the Dodge handles quite respectably

Go the sambabus!

[Brockas]

Game on :)

[S_E]

My net has been super slow the last few days, not cool at all, so I decided not to piss everyone off with epic lag by missing tonight. First night I've missed I think...

[Brockas]

Great racing tonight. Worked really well with the smaller group! Great fun.

[Miggy]

Really good racing I had a great time.

[ALEX.]

Yeah was a nice change actually. More personable....you could actually identify who rammed you off ;) No, it was good.
Brockas and anyone else from here popping down to this ALM event, I will try get down there some time in the arvo to meet a few peeps. Put some faces to the voices. http://www.antilag.com/forums/showthread.php?49012-ALM-Dual-Skidpan-Day-v2-17-9-11-MORE-SPOTS!!/page1
