It's that time of year folks - let's open up the wallets!

There will be TWO benefit races and I wish to have mutually exclusive fields. One for PBEM and another on TTS. Both races will use the same track.

Cost: $10 via PayPal to redscapefund@gmail.com

I plan on using Doug's new rules to get us ready for a full transition in Season 12. I'm also implementing a bid tie-breaker that uses wear in the bid as first tie-break, then dice as normal.

PBEM Build Deadline: Monday, November 18th

TTS Race Night: Thursday, December 19th @ 9 p.m. EST


Donald M. has the Snetterton Circuit ready for testing. This track looks awesome!

This is the seventh annual benefit race! Since the Dip players are all gone, it's pretty much what keeps the lights on.

One of these days I'll convince some of you old timers to race...

You might. I've been enjoying a racing game called Heat: Pedal to the Metal

I expect it's similar.

I've played Heat once and enjoyed it. There's some randomness with the card draws but you have a fair amount of control relative to other racing games I've played.

If you feel like giving CFR a go, let me know. The PBEM field closes Sunday (we have 10 of 12 drivers) and there are also spots in the live game. We're playing a tournament race tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9 p.m. if you want to drop in on the Zoom to watch a bit: https://vccs.zoom.us/j/85217264531

Hi Mike,
Did you get any of my emails (or my paypal payment) re the PBEM race? I seem to be having intermittent email issues which I cannot explain. I have not received any emails from you for several days.

I haven't gotten any emails, Bruce. I've got a spot for you.
