March on Michigan 300 - 2013 Edition

[Darin Gangi 1,074]

Hi All,

Thought I'd set up this thread to get the discussion rolling for our first special event of the year. March on Michigan 300 !!  Last year we ran the iRacing Trucks at Michigan with the fixed setup and it was a lot of fun.. We're probably going for the same setup this year except it will be an official iRacing event with iRating and Safety Rating on the line. 

 

Who's coming back ???  Who wants in this year ?? LAst year I didn't race in it but plan to this year !

 

I bet we can get two time iRacing Nascar champ Ray Alfalla to join us. He ran last year and I'm sure wants redemption. Ray also won our ISR Black Ice 200 @ The Rock.

Definitely in....I hope you guys can put together a few events this year.  I love Iracing, but I was a little disappointed with them dropping a few seasonal events this year...especially some of the road ones like Sebring.  I didn't run either of your events last year because I had to work, but screw it I'm taking off this year.

hopefully i'll have green tags on the back of the truck this year. also, i'll try to cut back on the barrel rolling as well.

I hope to run in this event this year. Fixed setup is a good idea as it makes it more accessible to those of us who don't know too much about setting up a car.

Sounds like fun.

Will it be content that we have to purchase? I just started iracing, so I am a noob.

 

I am definitely interested.

 

Is there a ISR league or club at iracing?

 

Regards

Definitely interested if the times work out.  Couldn't do the Black Ice event when it was moved to the new date, really wanted to.

you will need michigan and the truck in regards to content required. i tried to quote the member that asked the question, but many forum features do not work on android.

I think I'm going to run again this year.  I'm still a noob, myself, only got into iracing last year to run this event.  But it was FUN!  My advice?  Practice...a lot!

I will plan on it. Have you got an idea of the date yet?

We're going to have a full announcement on the next show. Date is going to be March 30th as of right now.

As long as work doesn't get in the way Im in.

[Zero7159 57]

I am in.  We have that week off from the NASCAR iRacing series and so that Saturday is clear for me.

Fixed setup will be the same one that the class C fixed truck series schedule runs at Michigan or something different?

for this years event, I will be driving the Pelotonia 2013 sponsored truck. Pelotina is an annual bike race here in central Ohio that is a fundraising effort to support cancer research. All funding raised is donated to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Basically, if you don't like cancer, donate to the cause to end it.

 

Personally, I am to out of shape to survive any kind of bike riding. Luckily those unfit are still able to sign up as a virtural rider (or in my case, a virtural driver) to help raise funding by other means.

Here is the link to my rider ID, which will be featured on the back of the truck during the March on Michigan 300 and throughout the 2013 season.

I wanna come. Im new to oval and I don't know anything about setup so fixed is very suitable for me and if time permits, I will run this. is this silverado truck? , both in-cart as of now is there any other content that I need?

Anyone planning on hosting a practice room this week or next before the 30th?

Great! What time?

Do you get one attempt for qualifying or can you try multiple times?

Wow.... Who came up with this setup??? It's very loose. Maybe I'm wrong, but this setup doesn't seem like its going to make for great racing. Everybody was spinning all over the place. It felt like you we're driving on ice. Seems like it would have been better to have open setups vs the fixed one for this race.

[r0gu3 20]

is the servers up already ? , Fixed is fine, was doing hosted pract last night  with Raymond(host), Im very slow still, but able to maintain stable laps. but others that are faster is doing fine too.

[Nate Moore 10]

Do you just click on the hosted tab on the iRacing home page to find the Michigan practice and Qual sessions?
