NSSCRA Discussion Thread

[The Sherpa Empire]

Edit: I plan to collate the owners' points standings since NSSCRA 6, however, I assume that it would be through points throughout the season unlike the drivers' championship which have playoffs.

That might get a little messy if you do it by actual owners and not just nations.

North China has had two owners: Hengxing Tian (season 9) and Beiyang (season 10 and 11).

The Sherpa Empire has had Guilin Racing Club, IRACT, YSCD, and Lhakpa-TMW.

Guilin Racing Club: all my drivers in season 6.
IRACT: Qiang and Li in season 7, all my drivers for season 8, Li and Rinzi season 9, Qiang and Rinzi season 10, Rinzi season 11. Open charters from the Sherpa Empire are probably IRACT from season 7 to the present.
YSCD: Tsering season 7, Qiang season 9, Tsering season 10 and 11.
Lhakpa-TMW: Qiang season 11.

IRACT is a successor to Guilin Racing Club, but YSCD and Lhakpa-TMW are totally separate organizations.

If we are doing that qualifications thing as per Sword Island's post, I would like a bit more evaluation on how it works. Maybe it's just me who didn't get it, but I could use more info.

Thanks! ^^;

Sorry if I didn't make it clear but the system is essentially 3 stages. Stage 1 of qualifying is separated into 5 groups, each group based off the points standings. For example in a 40 car field with 5 groups the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, 26th, 31st, and 36th placed cars in the standings would be in a group.
Each group has 25 minutes to qualify before the next group qualifies. The car highest in the standings in each group starts the session, followed by the second highest and so on. This is because its harder to put down good lap times on a fresh track so it's a disadvantage to go out first.
The top 4 qualifiers from each group(or for practical purposes the top 20 overall advance to round 2. Positions 21 through the rest of the field are set by round 1 times. Round 2 follows the same format as round 1 except groups are set by times in round 1. This round the top 10 overall advance to the final round which is single shot.

Hopefully this cleared some things up

There are no open charter requests at this time. I will likely assign one to Tropicorp's Euroli Islander, based on history, unless the nation objects.
If you would like one, please send me a TG in the next 90 minutes or so.

After the scorination of this race tomorrow, I expect to make some schedule edits, adding some off dates.

Yes please thank you!

Hey, question. It's the halfway point of the regular season - is it time to shuffle charters again?

[Newmanistan]

Saint Kanye knew it was coming...

It is indeed that time where we take charters away from non-RPers. The #40, #13, and #17 will lose their charters following this race, and they will be given to the #98, #0, and #03.

Open Charters for Vangaziland:

#69- Max Gannon (Saint Kanye)
#59- Derek Harwood (Newmanistan)

[Saint Kanye]

Hi! I believe you mistakenly added Chris Gordon's 13 points earned at the Gryphon Supermarket 250 to the other driver of the #05, Michael Rush. Gordon's total after that race remained at 70, while Rush went from 67 to 80. Thanks!

[Newmanistan]

Open Charters for Sharpe's 250:

#50- Rudy Edwards (Hapilopper)
#23- David Clarke (Abanhfleft)

STK: Thanks for catching that. Will have fixed after the next race!

[Newmanistan]

Competitors, please be advised that I am in area expected to get hit pretty hard by Hurricane Henri on Sunday. If I have power, I will still attempt to cut the race off and scorinate. If I do not have power, I will try to advise you all of that and the race would have to be delayed.

The EverLong race will still be run tomorrow.

[Hapilopper]

Above anything else, please be safe, Newmanistan.

[Saint Kanye]

What Hap said. Hope you and your family will be alright.

[Valentine Z]

Wishing you and your family all the best, please take care!

[Caleonia]

Can't wait to go to Michigan International Speedway on Sunday for the FireKeepers Casino 400. I'll be in the infield campground.

[Strike]

Yea, dont worry about trying to score if there is a hurricane haha

Oh... Looks like I am going to get hit with that too.

Good luck neighbor!

Open Charters for the Super Skychief 500

#50- Rudy Edwards (Hapilopper)
#09- Kyoko Fujisaki (Aji No Moto)

Today's scorination will happen like normal. As for tomorrow, who knows. I think it is most likely that I will be in a power outage at typical cutoff time but I'm not going to cancel it yet. If this thing shifts a bit east then I could end up out of the bigger problem areas (however, it has been shifting west). I'll try to keep you all posted from my phone. Good luck Sherpa!

[Newmanistan]

So far, so good with the storm. It did shift east overnight, putting me out of the real bad area. It's rained heavily earlier (less so now), but that's really about it. Unless something dramatic happens that I don't expect, I will be scorinating tonight as scheduled.

[Saint Kanye]

Oh, thank goodness!

Sherpa fine as well?

[The Sherpa Empire]

Oh, thank goodness!

Sherpa fine as well?

Yeah, it rained, but nothing crazy.

As near as I can tell, I live some distance north and east of Newmanistan and the storm went between us.
