I don't know what was wrong. But, it's been fine since I unplugged the modem and plugged it back in. I was on last night so I should be all set. I like Road Atlanta, so I'm disappointed that I missed that one.

Truskill rank: 22 (pro) - Based on this info. I would say that you are close to Greg and Andy ... so setup your C6 Z06 to the 855 build level ... and you should be good to go!
Guys normally start signing on at around 9:30A ... gives time to practice ... then we get the race going at 10A.
Mark
I gotta get online, and start practicing!

Just a clarification.
855 guys can build a 855 C5 or C6 Z06.
There is a reason for this. The C6 can not add race tires to it with out it going over the 855 limit. The C5 can.
On most tracks, maybe race tires are not needed but for Silverstone it really matters. I lap 2 seconds faster in the C5 vs the C6 (1:52.2 vs 1:54.4).

Great race this morning guys!
Had a blast this morning! Greg, once you made the pass on me there wasn't any way, short of nuking your car, that I was catching you! You have that RS tuned real tight! Good job!
Thanks for letting me join the club Mark, good times. I'm gonna figure a way to get my C6 to hook so I have the horsies to catch up to Greg now.. see you all next Sunday?
I vote for Road America!

Thanks. I enjoyed watching the replay a few times. That was a really tight race.
FYI The original gang all are using wheels and I run with no assists.

Great race this morning guys! 
For the first 4 -5 Laps, I think there was only about 300 feet seperating 1st through 6th ... but then things started to open up.
I was proud that I finally finished a 25 lap race without Greg lapping me!
I also broke throught the 1:55 barrier on one lap ... but I have not calculated my average lap times yet for the entire race.
Phil and I had a great battle throughout the entire race, and it came down to the last couple of turns.
