James, Scott, and I had a great night racing tonight. A few lop sided races early, followed by a couple quit out wreck fests, and then three really good clean races. Scott's 65 Vette dominated at Le Mans Full Circuit, Sedona Speedway, and Tuskuba Full and I pulled off wins at Road America, Laguna Seca, and Sebring. James had the power to compete, but found himself getting to know the wall (and my rear bumper a few times) courtesy of OEM drum brakes. Looking forward to the next time we get together :thumbsup

That was some pretty good racing. I hadn't even been in that Vette until I entered the lobby and it was bone stock but damn does it take off quick. Not exactly a corner burner though. I should buy one so I can actually adjust a few things.

Thanks for the laps guys!

I definitely had the best handling car, but you took destroyed me off the line so I was playing catch up if you were in front of me.

That was a blast!

I definitely was not expecting either Vette to be as quick as it was. Sorry for the love taps, there are a few corners I guess the T/A can take a little faster than your guys cars (or, more like doesn't stop quite as well).

I know I need to do some tweaking! I'm actually considering getting a completely different car, so the T/A will be for sale if someone wants it, or I can keep it as a "rental" in case someone needs a car.

Also, don't fret if you can't afford a car (Jer)- Scott used a stock Vette, and the factory Challenger (CPU player) was a reasonably good competitor. The Charger Daytona (also used by CPU) had some excellent top speed.

pw- you can remove the car list from your post, we'll just stick to "Any Pre-1976 American RWD car".

I'll go comb through the replays and get some pics up.

I saw you guys were online last night. Would've joined you but my g/f has been getting a little "excited" about how much XBOX I've been playing (and not spending time with her) so wer were just messing around in the arcade.

Wednesday night good for everyone again? 8pm?

If anyone needs to borrow a car, I got my 'Cuda ready to go. Also, I found a serious tune problem on the T/A. I shaved a full second off my times at Laguna Seca after I fixed it. Also, like I said, Scott's stock Vette was leading the pack as-is, so anyone is welcome to join and use one of them.

It's pretty self explanitory. I just got XBL when I got this game, and I had it figured out immediately.

There's multiple ways. You can join a "party" which is essentially a large group that follows the leader around.

Also, for private races, you can get invited directly to the race.

Public rooms, they have a matchmaking system. Choose your race type, choose your class, and race.
