NSSCRA Discussion Thread

[Legea]

I can make them the Manufacturer for the National Racing Championship (The tier below the Legean Stock Car Racing Championship) if you would be alright with that.

I think it makes more sense to do that with Hongxing and have an upper tier team use Chadwick. Chadwick has a good IC reputation.

Done. Team Bialykowski will have Chadwick as their engine manufacturer whilst Hongxing will supply the National Racing Championship.

Is there a way where I can get most of the NSSCRA 10 TGA models? Oh, I don't mind doing a bit of work, don't worry; could trawl through this thread for recent models if I can. ♥

But it will be appreciated if I can find them in groups. ^^

Jebs, Zhangjiajie Racing Club wants to know if Erik Kerman has a preferred number.

I still need to upload mine. Thanks for reminding me.

No problem! ^^

Also I will do a mention on Jamie joining your race, maybe in this upcoming RP post (Cass), or the one in Jebslund. Most likely the latter. It will be in conjunction with "A Tourist's Guide to Valentine Z", probably. ^^

Here we go. All the cars should use Ford mesh

Beiyang cars -- should have Solymok tires

Sherpa cars -- should have Highland Tires

[Valentine Z]

Very lovely, I appreciate it! ^^

@ Jebs: Cool, I will get to it! Ahh, nah, I don't have them. Only started collecting now since I only recently managed to get NR2003 working.

No worries, I can trawl the thread later.

[Jebslund]

Val, mine are the same as last year, unless Saint Kanye wants to do different TGAs for this year for mine.

seeing as I haven't asked, that's probably just going to be straight up they're the same ones as last year. Assuming you still have them from last year.

[Valentine Z]

Andddd posted!

For Jebslund, I did a little bolded RP thing regarding your Emperor in the last part of Valentine Z. I hope you don't mind! ^^

As for Sherpa, under the nation Garden at 6th Mile Road (G6MR), I have made a RP post with the bold bit about Jamie joining in. Ultimately, she will still be under the Valentian main team, just that I decided to use G6MR for stating that part. I hope this won't cause particular problems. ^^;
Edit: I'll write more ICly in my next RP post, particularly an email.

In case I don't get around the posting before cut off tomorrow, the response would be somewhere along the lines of you're free to use the airspace but there isn't one near the capital because the location of the capital is considered classified information. Part of the reason it was built underground was so that it would be difficult to locate.

[Saint Kanye]

Please note that I have no other intention for the Sage/Leo mixup but to show the former's relative unpopularity among lesser fans. The kid knows Leo is black (either from his appearances last season or from IBC reruns), but doesn't know his face very well. She doesn't know about Sage at all, name or face or dreads, and just connected the two.

If Thea was the newcomer I'd have people call her Lexi or Hendo. Brooke would probably be Alex Knight or Roman Gwinnett.

Jeb: Thought you'd never ask. I'll whip something up in the next few days. Same sponsors and all?

Yep!

[Valentine Z]

Not that I'm complaining and I might have forgotten how it runs, so how did Jolyn make it into the race this time despite her qualification results? Sorry, it's been a while, and I forgot some things. ^^;

I would be bummed if there was a mistake, but I can take it.

[Saint Kanye]

Yeah, it was a mistake. The red was just forgotten.

Also, if you still need all the cars I made so far:

https://ufile.io/h03hiq7o
https://ufile.io/7wu3t2y3
https://ufile.io/hodinhk1

St. Kanye and New Northwesteros are Pontiac.
Abanhfleft, Cassadaigua, Kohnhead and Squidroidia are Dodge.
Twicetagria and Northwest Kalactin are Chevy.

Jebslund is Ford, but I won't be uploading those until he sees them. Here they are.

[Valentine Z]

Aww, that's a bummer. Still, no big deal! Have not written the RP yet, anyway.

This would be her 4th DNQ/DNS in a row. Unfortunate, but I am seeing Holly doing gradually well!

Edit: Thanks for the cars! I may or may not do something with it*, but it's still appreciated!
After the exam is over, I am hauling my ass back for 19 days of army next week. :/ My RPs are gonna be almost-all texts.

[Saint Kanye]

Same with Holmes. I'm surprised with those two, I really thought they'd be the two who'd make it often.

The two are very much the same:
Both were Rinzi's challengers for ROTY during Season 8.
Both won once and made the Chase in their rookie season.
Both were then involved in scandals and are looking to restore their honor.
Also (I know you like things like this) both now drive cars ending in 6.

#56 and #76 - the 20 number gap between, err... honor restoration.

That's one hell of a coincidence between the two drivers, thanks for the tidbit!

Edit: I am betting my virtual NS money for Clarissa this season, but let's not be too hasty, I thought to myself. We are only in 3 races so far with the points.

[Valentine Z]

Sorry for the double-post, but of note is that the actual correct term of demonyms for Valentine Z is Valentians. I mean... Valentinian and other unseen terms are okay, but I would very much prefer it if it is "Valentian". The other terms don't really roll off your tongue!

[Xanneria]

Move her down to the Everlong series if it gets to bad, I'm considering doing the same for Roman Gwinnett

That actually would not be a bad idea, I might try that after the... 6th? 7th? Yeah, but soon.

I'm actually not 100% sure if you can move down, but I wouldn't mind trying it myself.

In the long run, I might allow it.
But I am hesitant, because the purpose of the Contenders Series was to address this situation before the season started. I posted on several occasions close to the end of signups that it was going to be hard for drivers to qualify in to the main series and that it might be better to be in the second tier series. But in many circumstances, drivers were still kept in the main series knowing this difficulty and being forewarned about it a few times, and the contenders series sat there with about 20 entries. Then, because of that, we started putting adding drivers into the secondary series to fill it. Now, if we start letting drivers drop down, then the secondary series starts to get too large, and that was not the intention of it.

The Contenders series is also starting to get its good feel going now with the drivers who were there from the beginning.

Thanks for the answer and clarification! And nah, it's fine on whether or not Jolyn keeps at it at 1st tier. She will probably get a break soon-ish. ^^

Also I love how the three Valentians were bunched together.

[The Sherpa Empire]

Maybe let people move down, but say once they go down they can't move back up?

[Saint Kanye]

Or only allow drivers to move down if an equal number moves up or leaves, to preserve the field size.
