No clue. The replay has sound, but it goes away when I record it with Fraps (I don't know how to just convert the .rpy files to other files. Recording it really kills the look of it too. It makes it so blurry).

Got the sound to work :D

That is some serious awesomeness!

My in-laws bring their Modified to Oxford all the time. They went up there last week I think (or maybe the week before).

I seriously love Legends cars. A while back I used to race RC Legends by Bolink. It was an awesome class because the cars were cheap and the parts were all matched. There was minimal frustration over "Mr. rich guy spending tons of money on his RC car to win the race" situations. Alas, the track that I raced at (Milford NH) closed down and I haven't found a Legends RC racing series since. (Sold all my Legends cars too...)

:O

Wilton (where I live) borders Milford!

You have to go to the Market Basket next to the Ocean Bank (big triangle building). Then head down the road at the 4-way intersection towards a small Irving gas station (it recently became a Sunoco station), and along a strip of buildings that has a bunch of gas stations on it. You will come to another Irving station and a TD Bank. Take a right past TD Bank and you will be on Route 31, which brings you right onto Main Street in Wilton.

And the legends cars are fun to drive, easy to learn, and the wrecks are insaaaane (and there are lots, because 90% of the drivers in that series are newbies).

I found new coupon codes :D

24 Months for $159
12 Months for $89
3 Months for $25
12 Months for $75

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #50 on:** September 22, 2010, 07:58:04 AM »

Wait 12 months is twice? Is there a difference?

Somebody · « **Reply #51 on:** September 22, 2010, 06:29:11 PM »

The price. Thats it. I don't know why but both were listed XD

And I tested them and they both work, which is even funnier.

I guess if you have $14 to waste, although it is much better spent on cars/tracks.

I thought I should explain where the referral box is, because I just realized that it is rather hidden.

After you click either Pay with Paypal or Pay with Credit Card, the page where you enter your info will come up, and near the top will be the words "Referred By" and then a box to type in. YOU MUST enter it correctly (PLEASE PM ME for mine), and as I just learned, you must get a 3 month or above subscription. New Rookie seasons begin a week from yesterday, and they are a great time to start.

Also, the promo code on iRacing's front page which is 3 months for the price of 1 ends in a couple days (according to their site), and is a great deal.

Well then my birthday present to you could be some promo codes. And my email address for referrals of course.

@Badnik: Just discovered that Thompson International Speedway (in the base package) is in Connecticut too.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 24, 2010, 01:08:17 AM »

Damn... I want this game, but it's too expensive.

Somebody · « **Reply #57 on:** September 24, 2010, 08:12:14 AM »

No it is not! When is the last time you payed $30 for a game? Not even including a promo code that could GIVE YOU a car or track you want. The tracks may be expensive, but you can play it with a ps2 or xbox controller with an adapter (a couple bucks). Trust me, you will not get to the level where you need to be buying tracks in a week. Racing through the levels will not be fun anyways, because you need to learn the tracks so you can win races and not crash. If you crash, you cannot advance. You will not have to buy any cars for a little while, if you go the road racing route, and oval racing has nearly all the tracks you need for the first couple levels in the base package.

And besides Jonzu, if I remember correctly, 2 of the top 5 road racing i Racers are Fins

Somebody · « **Reply #58 on:** September 24, 2010, 02:55:05 PM »

The top five road racers in order are: Italian, Fin, Italian, Fin, German.

Also, a couple good analogies I've heard to justify the price of iRacing

1. iRacing is like the game console, and the things you buy in it are the games. Except the game console doesn't cost $300+ and the games aren't $60 each

2. iRacing is a cheaper hobby compared to many others. Think how much you would spend on competitive remote control trucks, remote control airplanes, competitive robotics, or actual racing.
