Good races guys.
Congrats to Dale for the amazing pace, really incredible.
And congrats Jeff for the win on the second race.

This track usually is cruel to me...but with 2 podiums I cant complain. I had a nice time fighting Dale and Jason on race 1, but messed with my brake balance on the setup and made a mistake defending my position. Luckly got away with it, claiming 3th place back after a bit of misunderstood with Jeff. Im sorry if that touch unsettled you Jeff, I really do.

I was really sad to see Jason leave for Race 2. That was a bummer.
As for my race everything was a bit better, specially after Dale´s huge off. But the tire wear on my side was more than I expected, and Jeff really nailed the compromise with the pace to overtake me and carry on. On the last 4 laps I really had to give up any fight or pace to bring the car home with the left front tire on his way to blow. Gladly I made it!

Thanks guy for the words of incuragement.
To be completely honest I really had no idea t would ever get hooked up with such a great bunch of guys. GBR and Spazcar are really great and I really appreciate everyone here.

Thank you and see you on the track!

Congrats to Dale and Jeff on their victories. Had a great time in race 1 with an epic last lap battle with Dale. Always a blast racing with you guys. Sorry I had to bail in race 2, I am still bummed about that.

On another note, I likely will miss the last 2 events of the season as I'm coaching softball again this year and we just started. Luckily tonight practice was canceled due to weather. I will still try to sneak on late if I can, but won't get home until around 7:45 pm so at most might make the 2nd race.

A great night of racing for everyone

Ummm not everyone.  
Here is what Charles Barkley thought of my driving last night:

I was doing pretty well in race 1, staying right behind Chris but then I blew a corner and did some pretty serious damage. Luckily I was able to pit and get that prepared but then what would be the last lap of the race my engine died. 


Race 2 was about the same for me and I wrecked and had a flat on the front left. I limped back to the pits and was just looking to finish the race. Unfortunately for me that wouldn't be the case. I was catching Scott and on the last corner he had gone wide to the left and that was my chance to get around. The problem was he didn't go as wide as I thought and when he saved the turn we bumped doors. Just about anywhere else on the track and this would have been fine but instead I ran head on into the start of the pit wall.  I couldn't do anything but laugh my ass off because of my bad luck.  But that is racing.

Congrats to Dale for the W in race 1. Glad to see Angelo and Jeff (and Hawks when he can make it) some competition.

It was a pretty quiet night for me. Definitely a bit off the pace of the front runners. I was hoping for a nice scrap w/ JImmy & Ricardo again. But Ricardo was too damn quick and JImmy had a run of crap luck which left me circulating by myself for most of both races.

On the upside, I jumped two spots in the point standings. Thanks JImmy! Now to see if I can hold it to the end of the season. With Hawks looking to miss most of the remaining races...I may even have a shot at 4th.

Looks like the maximum score for a 2 race format is 250 points, correct?
What is the maximum score possible to the Enduro event?

Coudnt find the information.

[F1Fan07]

Enduro is 300.
