Tomorrow(Friday) 8pm EST .  All slowpokes are welcome.  Maybe we'll go 3-5
laps.  This will probably end up being "whoever survives - wins"....<g>

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Eldred,

I'd love to race against you but I'm not sure if I'm permitted. I have
managed a lap without a spin and even one under 10 minutes (see
"Organisation" above).

Please post the qualifying standard!

Tony

Yeah, please... I usually do sub-9minute laps; -guess that disqualifies me,
huh? What if I use the BRM? ;-)

Then again, a race at 2am (my time)... sheeesh!

  I just drove an 11:36, I guess I qualify...however, the gearing was
all wrong, I could only make 145mph top speed.  Perhaps I can lower that
by a few seconds with longer gearing..;>

Rats, I hadn't thought of a qualifying standard.  There were a few of us who
had lap times over 10 minutes.  How about 9:25 or greater?  That would give us
slowpokes a "rabbit" to chase...<g>

If you use the Cooper in the race, you can join.  You're the Rabbit!  <g>

No probs, I'll drive the Cooper.  I would like to point out that
9:25 is my PB for the Ring.  My best times in the other cars are:

Lotus: 9:58.29
Brabham: 9:37.80
Ferrari: 9:30.82
BRM: not completed a lap (can't see the line through the
windscreen!)
Eagle: not completed a lap
Honda: not completed a lap

My other times should qualify me for slowpoke status.

See you later (if I'm awake!).

Cheers

Phil
