I shoulda stayed home LOL Bah, horseshit! It's all about hanging w/ mates. Whatever happens in the race is irrelevant. Hell, this is 2 weeks in a row I've utterly destroyed a car...and my qualifying tonight was attrocious. I was lucky to finish tonight. |

That's strange it shows I had tc2 for qualifying on lap 4? I remember on lap 4 all I did was esc back to the garage. I have to check and make sure it's not mapped on my keyboard  |

Great racing last night(once we actually got to the racing ) and apologies to Smokey for the tap in race 1 and to Chris for the crash in race 2. Race 2 was my first top 5 finish and I got a little carried away with the blocking at the finish line. I had 1 red square left on my front right and was trying to not blow the tire and that is how Chris caught me. Not exactly how I wanted to get my first top 5, but I guess I will take it. Also, if a grid spot penalty needs to be handed out for my actions I would not argue with it. I will leave that up to the stewards. |

I figured your tires were shot. I closed in a ton the last 2 laps. About halfway through the final lap I started thinking "I can do this". It was a shitty deal. I moved up 6 inches to make sure I didn't clip the pit wall & take both of us out, you moved down 6 inches to pinch me down to minimize my advantage on corner exit. Unfortunately there was only 11 inches between us. With the models being super sensitive to contact, and me being about about 1/2 car length in front meant when we touched I got turned right across your nose into the outside wall. Exact same thing happened w/ Ed(?) last week when I ended up rolling and having the car coming to a rest on the shrubery. At least we crossed the finish line. Certainly made for an exciting finish...you'd think you were watching NASCAR.  Race 1 pretty much sucked. Got turned around early and never recovered from it. Race 2 went much better. Had a great race w/ Sheldon through the middle stages of the race. Managed to jump him on pit strategy. We ended up running together until he had a spin the the final corner complex just a few laps from the end. I managed to climb 10 spots from my starting position on the back row, until the wreck at the finish line dropping it back to 9 positions gained. Pretty content with that. Dan was showing some damn good pace too until his little spin in the second half of the race, I don't know that I was going to catch him unless his tires went off like Jimmy's. |

I can't complain about two fourth place finishes. I was being very cautious with my tires. TOO cautious. I finished R1 with over 50% tire left and similar for R2. I think I would have made some ground up on third in R2 but missed my braking point on the main straight looking at some info. This was on my first stint and damaged my tires and strategy.

Because of all the restarts last night, I lost the replay of Race 1. Does anyone have it? If so, can you send it to me please.

I still HATE the track, but have to admit, I had a really strong run. Next track is just as hated, so we shall see what happens there.
