If you can, at least take the green flag to scoop up some points.  Understand the sick part. That sucks.  Hope you get better soon. |

I'll try and make the race tomorrow, but my wife had a freaky accident last Wednesday. We were out walking our dog and he saw something and took off after it. The bad thing is the leash somehow got tangled up around my wife's right hand index finger and pulled it off right near the tip. She lost about a 1/2" of her finger along with the nail. The doctor reattached the part of the finger, but is not sure it will take. Needless to say she is in a lot of pain. I'll try and make it, but it isn't looking very good.
Please say a prayer for her, she needs it.

Jesus, that is not good.
Hope it mends well and heals as quick as it's able. I've actually had the top of my ear re-attached after a car wreck 13 years ago. It took it right back, and most people don't even notice unless I say something about it. Hopefully her recovery goes as well as mine did.

Just a bit of correction on the first post.
With the current time zones and daylight or not daylight savings, 10:15 EST for me here in Brazil is 11:15 PM.
Too early to say, but Im feeling better this night. If stays like that I think I will be able to start the race.
Problem is that the thing may come back, so I have to keep watching this.

I feel her pain Scott, I had the same thing happen to my right middle fingers years back, not by a dog, but a trans jack.
In my case the tip dried up like a scab and fell away. But my nail came back and it looks pretty normal.
Wishing her a speedy recovery.

If you're near Brasilia then yes, it is an hour later than me in New York. |

Thought I was gonna have to miss this one but I found a temporary solution for tonight. My wireless D-link router took a crap and no internet yesterday. I am wired directly to my separate modem and have a solid connection but no wi-fi for now. Looking forward to an enduro tonight, hope all can attend. Cheers.

I had to replace a D-Link Wi-Fi adapter last week. It would randomly drop throughput to less than 1 Mbps (on two different PCs). I didn't realize how bad it was until learning that I sounded like a robot one night on TeamSpeak. The replacement ASUS unit is flawless.

Angelo and Boza brilliantly saved enough fuel to shorten their fuel stops and gain a lot of time on the pit stops. Everyone's pace was very close at the front so the strategies are what made the difference as Jeff & I seemed to have the same startegy other than Jeff pitting one lap earlier both times. Well played and great driving Angelo and Boza. It was also interesting to see the set up differences on track, I had low down force and a hand full in the corners that got really slippery out of the esses after some rear end damage in the first stint (a minor racing incident)Thanks for the racing guys, I had a fabulous time.
Yeah Dale, no more D-Links for me either,lol.

Yeah, what a great night of racing that was. This Mod is awesome, it provides close action with pleaseant cars to drive. Race was as close as we can possible have in the first 50 minutes or so. Me, Jeff, Boza, Tony and Rich were at times glued in each other, racing hard, fair and fun! That makes the time pass really fast. I enjoyed every minute of it. I had some great fights, overtaking and being overtaked. Jeff put a overtake on me around the outside of the chicane at one point, man, that was a great move...   My BMW was not particulary fast on Q (third row start), neither on the race I was the fastest. Boza was damn fast all the way, specially. But the mileage of my car is good, I saved a lot as well by driving smooth with some tricks, I was very consistent. So in the end paid off, also with a bit of luck. That was a satisfying Win. I thought it couldnt get much better than the last round, but I have to say that this race was just as good, if not better.  Keep them coming! |

I'm not sure if it's the sim, the mod or the track or some combination but the pit stall logic last night was stupid.
Not only did we seem to be crammed into the first several stalls but there were a ton of unused pits at this track and we were crammed into tight spaces at the end of pit lane. When I came in, cars could barely get into a stall, two cars picked up damage when one driver tried to get out and then my Corvette was sharing a stall with an Aston (so not even a team assignment) that had to wait for me. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
I think we might have been paired up in qualifying order. If so I think I know how to fix that.

I picked this version based on the issues efnet had w/ the Euroracers one and pits. This one was approved at Race2Play so I figured it would be okay. I just don't have the time to test all of the tracks. I tapped the rear of another 911 trying to pull out of my pit as well. |

Hope you get better soon.
