Surprisingly I have taken to liking this track  or perhaps not surprising since I had a pretty good result here  First off apologies to John Nelson for diving into the inside of the first corner and causing some bumping and likely damage  also I ran into someone else but can't recall who that was... Originally was using a developmental tune I got from Hawks when I was practicing last week. But then Tony D provided a tune just before the race and I seemed just a 'touch' quicker with it so I used that one. Thanks both of you The plan was to do 2 stops, basically three 12 lap stints using softs. The first 11 laps went really well I thought. But just as I started the 12th lap I realized the fuel light was on (duh) so I looked and it appeared I had 1 Litre left at the first turn, apparently I had made a big miscalculation of fuel required for 12 laps  Not sure how much time I lost on that 12th lap trying to get back to the pits but as I rounded the last corner to the pit entrance the fuel gauge was saying 0... My main goal of the race, other than finishing, was to finish ahead of Craig  Not saying I would have been able to, but I bet it woulda been a lot closer if I had gotten the fuel right ! Anyways it was a great race and at the end I had a great time trying to run down Chris by tailing Tigeraid. Ended up have a great race down the front stretch just missed getting ahead of Chris by a door length or so  |

One thing about this track layout it really made me use my triple screens to a fuller effect. I never used my side screens as much as with this track. I'm kinda glad for that as it pretty much trained me to use more of my real estate.

Had a great race last night, much better than I expected. For once, I made no mistakes. I started on softs but quickly realized they would not last long. I pitted around lap 9 or 10 and put on intermediates. They lasted until lap 25 or 26 and then I finished with softs. There is no question that doing a 2 stopper was the critical ingredient that allowed me to score a rare top 10 finish. It was nice to see the back of Jeff's and Jason's cars and have them on the same lap as me. LOL!!! HELLYEAH!!! brother top 10 is a great day. it was awsome to see some of the top 10 guys struggle and us slower guys do well.  Great night of racing Shoot, I totally forgot to thank you Tony for the kick ass tune! You are the man. Thank you so much!!!! |

LOL!! The tire monster got me this time!! Dunno what happen I had 40% of tire left and all sudden it blew. Had to limp to the pits and as soon as I entered pit lane my other front tire blew out  . Took me 2 mins just to get to my pit stall!! Hopefully I'll have better luck next race. Congrats to Jason and podium finishers. BTW the heavy breathing was not me. I have my mic set to push to talk and when Sheldon said it was me I was trying to talk without hitting the button and nobody heard me. so that's what happened boza you & bence were fighting pretty hard I just stayed in a coupla secs of yas thinking youse take each other out lol |

Before the race I kept telling myself to take it easy on the tires, but once the light turn green I forgot about my plan  . Can't help my self, Bence suckered me into that battle |

Boza great battle m8 couldnt get the job done until your tyres started letting up but I could ease off in sections to save some tyre and somehow got 11 laps out off the softs ...I had inters on on the grid but changed my mind with 15 seconds to go and put the softs on not knowing how many laps I'd get. Went Softs again and pushed it for 9 laps pitted agian and Put the Inters on to Bring it home Tigeraid sry man that Win had your name all over it ...sry man  great race and No issues With any Back markers for me ..Didnt see many cars part from Boza's and tiger and a couple lapped guys |

Don't apologize, you're a beast. I'm relatively happy I had a tire strategy work properly for the first time all season, at least. |

Another great video. Thanks for showing my one good pass I would have had maybes trace if I didn't hit the wall twice. Got on the power to quick and spun out. I am just happy to finally get a good highlight in one of your vids. I guess I need to get to know Ed, kv, rg since I am always battling it out with those guys. |

Man I got just a bit antsy on Nelson's bumper. Thought for sure he was going to get on the power sooner but I messed that one up  Great great video. Love this stuff. Hate that I have to miss the next race If I could figure out a way to get rFactor to work on an iPad I'd be there. LOL |

BAHAHAHAHA... "ECM Module failure" Pure gold! Thanks man. Chris I apologize for our contact that punted you off track. I didn't realize you were coming across the line there but rather figured we were parallel. Very sorry! Must have been that contact that damage my ECM Module. |
