Virtual Racing

[raydog]

This Christmas our family got an X box Elite, so since then I've purchased two steering wheels and pedals and love a game called Forza 2....racing at tracks around the world in my Cobra, Viper and Ferrari!

When my long time friend (we both used to do track days @ Willow on Gsxr 1000's) from SoCal learned that I do this, he humbly stated, "cool Doyle, I'm a virtual racer too, here's a pic of my rig".

62" screen and the pic tells the rest, I don't think I'll ever get to his level! (also he's Cal champ in Autocross as well) Raydog

That is awesome! I would love to have a setup like that. At one time, Game Stop had a cheap version of that. It was sold in a kit form for around $200.

yep, that would be fun. we used to do the NASCAR virtual racing at the mall in Atlanta. think it was NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway. they had hydraulics under the car bodies and resistance, etc.

oh, for some 'disposable' income...

We (motorcycle friends) occasionally go to Dave and Buster's (a bar/restaurant/game center)

Wearing full riding gear including helmets we race on the motorcycle games. Get a good crowd usually
