Topic: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

Does anyone have a ghost driver with a valid Lemons License my team can borrow for the Gingerman race in October?
Or anyone west coast not going to Gingerman but have a valid License?

You need the 4 drivers in by the pay deadline right because we are already paid up, just need A #4 on the books if it's needed Saturday night.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

I have a valid license and not planning on going.  Send me the team code and I'll sign up.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

fwiw, you don't actually need 4 people.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

But you do need a fourth with a valid license to sign up in the slot.  Otherwise you have to buy a license for a fake guy I think. 

We've run two drivers and just put in two of our drivers that weren't coming to get to four.  I think they're needing a 4th name to put in.

That's not been my experience.

I was about to type out more, but I don't want to show my hand in public and potentially screw up loopholes.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

Ok.  Maybe I'm wrong.  I actually didn't sign us up last time this happened but I thought we needed to add two of our drivers as it kept kicking back we weren't ready.  I think I may be assuming that it would kick back that fake drivers don't have valid Lemons licenses.

You only need to pay for 4 drivers.  You don't actually need a fourth driver.  If you have any friends or family going to the race, list them, it will save them paying the gate fee.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

The system doesn't Kick you without a listed and Licensed 4th driver?

Either way, Tking66 hoocked me up last night after I posted this. Thanks all.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

I'd like to see if we could get going a sort of collective agreement that everyone across all regions who has the need for a ghost driver will put either Babe Ruth of Joe Dimaggio down. Hell, I'll pay for the Lemons license for a year.

But I want to see if we can get a Ruth or Dimaggio ghost driver as the season Driver Points winner.

We've never had to do that.  I've left the slots empty, and I've filled in family members who are spectating.  It's never been a problem.

I'd nominate Chris O as the designated GD.

Is this a case of What HQ want's vs. what HQ will accept?

HQ wants the $$$ for the 4 drivers.  They don't care how many actually show up to drive, they don't have any way of ensuring that 4 or more drivers actually drive the car.  The system is programmed to send out the nag messages because they've grown tired of teams showing up at the track with none of their drivers signed up, and having to do it all on site.

Re: Ghost Driver for Decade of Disappointment

Gotcha... Nag messages don't equate to getting booted

Nick will get more of a kick out of some obscure backup middle infielder from the 1998 San Francisco Giants. Just sayin'.
