2025 V8CFL - General Chat

[mikeamerica84]

Just a heads up, men:  Next weekend is the AGP.  We will be on holiday down in Florida and yours truly will be at Sebring watching the 12 Hours.  Depending on what type of internet we will have at our lodging, if I can get the Supercars races downloaded and watched, I'll have a blast on my down time.  This might take a bit of time, though.  The results might be a couple of days delayed.

If I cannot get the downloads, I'll just look up the Supercars results and tally the scores, foregoing watching.  We will not be back home until the 19th.

I also want to watch the F1 AGP itself, but I can do that in front of the television.

We'll see how it goes as I play it by ear (with earplugs, of course).

Just a quick reminder that pre-AGP roster changes are required before MIDNIGHT THURSDAY, SYDNEY, NSE TIME.

Still on track for holiday we are.

[mikeamerica84]

I have noted that Aaron Love is no longer driving the 3 car and has been replaced by Aaron Cameron in both the Rules and Team Registration threads.

[mikeamerica84]

The deadline for roster changes for the AGP has come and gone.  We are all locked in for the weekend.  Good luck, and as always, see you on the other side of the checkers.

Reporting live from Florida on Holiday,

Mike

I have watched all of the AGP Round and I have all of the data required for tallying.  Result will be out w/i 24 hours. A quick review reveals I have been killed this round.   

Thanks for your patience during these holiday times men.

Looks good for The Arrow Motorsport early on as they have taken the early control of the points.  Bentley has notched their first ever V8CFL win, too. 

Next up will be Taupo.

The Tournament has also been updated for your viewing pleasure.

No post-race penalties noted. HOWEVER I cannot find a Stewards Summery for Round 1 OR Round 2 as of yet.

I think this is the first time The Arrow Motorsport has lead the points in about 8 years... The switch to Hyundai seems to have paid off already.

Okay, men.  Time to move out of the country and continue this 2025 show.  Taupo is in the crosshairs.

As of now, Helix has made the only roster change for this round.  In fact, it is the only and first change for anyone this season.  I am sure that will change in the upcoming weeks.

Remember - Thursday Midnight is the change deadline.  As always.

[mikeamerica84]

The deadline for NZ roster changes has passed.  We all have what we have and Helix has a new driver on his roster.  Good luck to all.  I hope it is a ripper of a round.

I also hope I can start doing better.   

[mikeamerica84]

NZ Results are posted. 

To quote TheArrow as he stretched his lead in the points, "If you are going to win ONE, you might as well win the one that pays the most points!"
