Hey guys!
I am running in this iRacing League - the Absolute Begginers League. It has two events that alternate every week. The first is the Tony Hayes Cup which is a MC series utilizing the RUF C Spec and the Global MX-5 Miata. An absolutely awesome combination for MC, IMO. The second series is the Formula Neagle which utilizes the Skip Barber. Another great car that produces great close racing action.
The participation/grid sizes are very good and the racing is a lot of fun. There is a very nice spread in terms of skill levels in each car class and series which also makes this lots of fun. Here is the iRacing forum link if anyone is interested:

I am posting here to see if anyone is interested in either being my crew chief or spotter. Any help with Pit Strategy, Spotting on track and maybe even set up help is appreciated. I have found that having someone watching out for you in a session is very helpful and enjoyable. It's also a nice diversion from worrying about driving/racing. Anyone who decides to help wouldn't even have to stick around for the whole event. Just pop in whenever and leave whenever you need to. I actually don't find that disruptive at all. Besides, if I'm on TS iRacing 2 I will get a heads up anyway (assuming I have permission to use TS for this :-) Anyway, if any of you guys are interested just let me know by posting up here. I will post up my results for you all to see. The ABL also has their own web page and forums so I can post a link to the weekly race report. Here is the first week result:

Race 1 in the Tony Hayes Cup was at Watkins Glen Boot. It was a 90 minute race. I messed up the start time so I missed practice and quali. I ended up starting from the pits after the entire field (including the MX-5s) had gone by. I had to get through all of them before I could even begin to approach the cars in my class. However, I had Chris' awesome set up from the 6 hours of the Glen so the car felt great! Thanks Chris! I ended up finishing 10th out of 15. I was actually in 9th and had a 0x going into the last lap until Liam caught me and sideswiped me during an overtake. No biggie. It was a racing incident.
Hopefully some of you will be interested in following the series or maybe joining in. Thanks for reading.
