iRacing Week 13 is Here Again

~ Jeff Kendrick ~ 4 Comments

iRacing UpdateEvery season, iRacing gives its members an opportunity to advance to the next license level. They call it “Week 13.” It’s some sort of black hole between seasons. True to its number, it is bad luck for some of the racers who choose to participate in it. But for some, it’s a time of safe races with good finishes and maybe even a license promotion.

Old School Racing Motorsports will attempt to provide iRacing setups for the 13th Week Street Stock Challenge. You can  look at our usual iRacing setups pages and probably find what you need. Here’s the rundown for 2020 Season 4 Week 13.

Featured Series and Series with New Content

These are all fun, unofficial series unless otherwise noted.

  • 13th Week Muddy Mess: Big Block Modifieds at Cedar Lake
  • 13th Week Silly Send It: 2020 and 1987 NASCAR Cup Series cars at Coca-Cola Superspeedway
  • 13th Week Shiny New Shakedown: 25 minute races featuring the new Dallara iR-01
  • 13th Week Tin Top Tussle: 15-minute sprint races featuring GT3s
  • 13th Week Beach Vaycay: Skip Barber Formula 2000 at Long Beach
  • 13th Week Ridiculousness: Official series featuring Pro 2 Lite at tracks from all four license classes, and iRating/Safety Rating per track type


Official Series

  • Pickup Cup
  • Dallara Dash
  • Carburetor Cup

Road

  • 13th Week Figure GR8
  • 13th Week Tube Frame Twister

My advice for iRacing Week 13:

  1. Run league races.
  2. Run the unofficial series.
  3. Run hosted races.
  4. Get ready for next season.

In other words, steer clear of anything that involves safety rating and iRating. I always had terrible luck, but your mileage may vary. Whatever you decide to do, have fun doing it!

iRacing Asphalt Street Stock Setups for Week 13

Note the track temperature on each setup. Track temperature is very important. Select the higher temperature version of the setup for afternoon races. 

I continue to update the setups as we go through the week so check back here. It’s probably best to come back every day for the setup for the next track.

How to Open the Setups

[paypal-donation]
  1. Save these setup files to C:\Documents\iRacing\setups\streetstock\.
  2. Do not attempt to open the setup file in Windows.
  3. Load the setup in the iRacing simulation under Garage – My Setups.

The Old School Racing Motorsports League Will Resume Racing June 8, 2018

~ Jeff Kendrick ~ Leave a comment

The Old School Racing Motorsports League will resume racing during iRacing’s Week 13 that falls between 2018 Seasons two and three, on June 8. The league will begin racing in the Pro Late Model Cars on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Each night will be considered a separate Pro Late Model Series with separate point standings. We will stick to the iRacing schedule for the same series for the most part but I will repeat tracks as little as possible. I’ll have a schedule ready soon after iRacing releases the schedules for season three.

As the initial season progresses, we will declare a season champion and discontinue one of the Pro Late Model Series based only on participation. At some point we will add a 360 Sprint Series running on the same night as the Pro Late Model Series. At some point we also plan to add a UMP Modified Series also on the same night.

I have had two or three people who are interested in some of the admin duties. If you’re interested in handling some of the admin responsibilities please see me in Discord. Here are details on what I need from admins.

  1. Session admin/race control. I am probably going to have to miss a couple of weeks each season. I will know in advance when I’m not going to be available. Those who are interested may want to become familiar with the admin commands. You can bind these to a key for quick access. If you’re going to use them while racing it is necessary. Fortunately these won’t be used very much as we won’t clear many black flags and none of the other commands apply to what we will be doing. If you’re interested in any of this and don’t know where to begin, see me in Discord and I can show you how to bind keys, etc.
  2. Incident review committee. I need two or three people who can look at specific race incidents and cast a vote on a decision. One of the members will need to review the entire replay’s incidents only. You can skip to the next incident in a replay using the PgUp key on your number pad. To go to the previous incident, use PgDn on your number pad. You don’t have to watch the entire replay. Just the incidents. If you see something that requires a warning or suspension, you need to edit it out, save it, and share it with the other admins in the committee on Discord. Most of the time you will vote on a warning for the first couple of offenses. After the first two warnings, suspensions will start. After a couple of suspensions, we have to vote on removal. For grievous offenses removal can happen with the first incident.

That pretty much covers it. For session admin/race control it’s just a matter of being in the sessions when I’m not. If you race pretty regularly you will probably be there anyway. Incident review will take maybe 15 or 20 minutes for the person who does the initial replay review if he has to chop out an incident. If he just looks through it and there’s nothing there, maybe 5-10 minutes total. For the rest of the committee, maybe 5-10 minutes maximum to review an incident and state your opinion.

There is an admin channel on Discord. Admins will have permissions to access the channel to share replay clips and have any discussions about any given incident.

I know that this requires a bit of a commitment, but this is what needs to happen for the league to function properly. We don’t want our league to end up like the official races. We’re running in leagues to get away from that kind of show.

It’s Week 13 Again

~ Jeff Kendrick ~ Leave a comment

OSR Late ModelsIt’s Week 13 again, or at least it will be Tuesday at Midnight GMT.

Once again, iRacing offers little to nothing of interest during Week 13. You can go lose a load of ratings in the Street Stock Series at tracks like Charlotte Legends Oval, Lanier, Oxford Plains, South Boston, and Thompson.

If you own the Gen6 cars of if you you’re in the mood to waste some money on them, you can run the Carburetor Cup. It’s a wreck fest but at least there are no ratings. You’ll also have to waste your money on Talladega Super Speedway, if you haven’t already.

There will be some races at Irwindale Speedway. Word is that the track will soon be demolished. From what I can gather, all the racing at Irwindale will be unofficial, so no ratings losses for these wreck fests. There will be racing in the Late Models, Street Stocks, Super Late Models, and Modifieds. The SK Modifieds will also run Figure Eight races.

If they manage to get the new build out in time, The Super Late Models will run at Five Flags Speedway. Don’t bet the ranch on it. I’ve seen iRacing falsely advertise Week 13 events in the past. I think these are also unofficial but I can’t say for sure.

At least Irwindale offers something slightly interesting, and, if Five Flags is ready, there is that. Enjoy.
