Club 49ers - promoting clean racing and wanting players to get up the leaderboard. You don’t need Xbox Live Gold (XBLG) to do it. Just be online while doing free play laps, racing in season play or events and you will climb the leaderboards. you don’t have to be fast or even clean but it does help. But is alot of races :-o
If you do have Gold and do online races inspect the Game Settings. If Collision mode is ALWAYS OFF or GHOST you can race against the clock to get a classified time but don’t be too slow or the race may end before you complete the lap. Some race hosts even have longer times to end so as to have a break inbetween races. Look for the Ozzy cranky gorillas as an example.
Why make this club? I like the tuning side of the game and getting a base car and see how much it can be upgraded. I noticed that a some cars maxed out around 750 (a few at 744 actually - PI or Performace Index) nice cars to their full potential. But these aren’t quite competive against full class spec cars (let alone the fact that I’m not that skilled a controller (driver).
While racing online against the big boys and girls if you select a car to 49 you’re sort of saying “I’m here to race, not expecting to win, not really a threat but if you actually crash (most of the time it’s an illusion) I’ll pass you but I won’t try to block you when you catch up (and they generally do) so please don’t give me a “tap” that sees me watching the rest of the race parked.”
Membership: Open to all (but be advised that those wanting crashes may get bored quickly). If you would like, you can post your current Circuit All. eg as of Sept2019 I was #101174 time 417hr35m34s.
Tune/upgrade some cars to 49 of class. eg 100-149, 201-249, 276-349*, 426-449, 501-549, 601-649, 701-749, 801-849 and 876-949. so nine sub classes (no Class C or X. 351-399 if you really want just one more).
Do some lap/laps on the less frequented tracks. I’ll post these in another post in a couple of days or my next DOX (day off xbox).

For me to be able to send you these gifts we need to be xbox live friends. This means you’ll be able to see if I’m online, what games I’m playing and if racing join the session without needing an invite. It also means I could join you. So if you want to unfriend afterwards just to get the gifts, that’s OK too.
Process to a get your free Club 49ers Car. Add a post here stating which brand of car you would like, your two favourite colours (comes with black and white) and your preferred race number. Numbers are not exclusive and you will be able to edit if you want anyway. but we’ll try to keep track of numbers in a following post (read here if Krusty or the cat could be bothered). **Also please send me a message via Xbox Live so I send back a friend request. This offer open to current friends but post here will be appreciated.
Timeframe: my XBLG will be cancelled 9May2020 (best $1 everspent) so incentives available until May8 2020. Will be reopened once I’ve accrued 6800 microsoft points.
{Editor Note: future references to unsubscribed sponsors will be mildly discouraged. Please refer to Krusty’s sponsor MacroHard. Please refer to future posts below for further details.}
Addemdum: Seeking support from generous benefactors so that we can supply better gifts to encourage new members.
Edit 30 April 2020 - Krusty went to auctions. See post 8 below for detail.
Klub 49ers - something to do while not playing to be creative and have a giggle with Krusty. I’m so old I remember when The Simpson was a skit on The Tracy Ulmann Show. References to Futurama, Highlander, Douglas Adams and Monty Python may be inferred from time to time. (Don’t know who Tracy is? Dullem it - explanation in following posts but a quick plug for a sponsor. A bit more relevant than polling if you have done a marathon.)
El Presidente is KrustyKurgan42 until the next election (to be run in conjuction with Tropico General Election due in 3 years).
Honorary Klub Kaptain is “Chronic R6”. Negotiations have commenced with driver management to see if a profile can be setup just using the subclass cars. ONR team management released a statement “we don’t want our driver wasting their time in this pointless exercise while we’re competing in so many leagues”. So things are progressing well on that front.
Plug spot for sponsors / drivers (open to bribes, just don’t insult me with small ones - all bribes will be considered final and to be as “hasn’t happened” 
.
previous Additional Reasons for edit:
- Added need to send message via XBL as I don’t read forum daily (too busy playing if I can)
- all references to companies real or imagined are for satire. please don’t hold these views against me if I happen to apply for Senior Partner Manager. I have over 14 years experience managing and been managed by my partner.
