We tried! But... time to move on...
« on: May 13, 2014, 11:30:43 AM »
Well guys, Steve, Simon, Glenn, Brett, Glen, BJ (in no particular order :)), the time has come to say "Goodnight to Historics/Thursdays"

It is a matter of:
time (I just seem to have problems doing the admin stuff...)
money (extravagance of using it once/week, not the $s out of any one's pocket, jsut the lack of use)
the small numbers
and me loosing some "omph" :(

but i must say I did ENJOY the racing, it was FUN racing but I need to just give it away.
Thanks to all that supported the fun nights, it was a HOOT :)

And reading other posts, purely coincidental around the Asetto Corsa Fun run coming up, I will be there, but that isn't the driving reason (sorry for the pun :))

Bit of shame.   We only had small grids but still had some good races.
Thanks for your efforts once again Bruce....

Thanks Freezer, may be I didn't do that good a job as it was not "motoring along" as it should have after a few months efforts by us all.

I'm sad to hear this Bruce, but i understand.

The small grids whilst being fun, weren't up to what we had in the good old days of big grids and fun races.

Thanks for all your work Flatty.
Cheers

I wouldn't say that Bruce, I think people are starting to move on to AC, PCars, RF2 as they now all become more polished.

I realise it is not the same but perhaps the Historic Lotus and the BMW E30 could make up an interim "Historics" series?

Probably not....

I don't like the physics, but i'll keep an eye on how the racing goes, and if it is getting good reviews from you guys i may drop in and have a drive... Wont be for a while though.

Fair enough, 17 entries for tonight, at least it's a decent sized field. Physics are a slot car ish until you start pushing it then it becomes a hand full.

Hopefully see you on track sooner rather than later. PS, Bruce mentioned AVM are running these historics for there next season on a Wednesday night.

My hardware would probably be OK but I'm locked into XP because of my gameport wheel
