Sorry guys. Forgot to make the thread public. I'm out of it lately.

Great series David, as always.
Lets do it again soon.

I finally get some speed going in the last race and forgot to check if I had damage on the first stop. Put me 72 seconds off the pace. Just started to catch up with Sheldon and had to pit for fuel. But I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

Yeah, thanks Dave, and everyone who helped to bring this series to life.
Was a great season.
Of course Im happy to have take the Championship, is aways better when you win. But the fun factor was on a high most of the times. This was even better than the Blancpain series, as those cars are better for racing.
And the vast majority of the races were awesome.
Championship ended up being more easy than I thought. Specially with Boza missing 2 rounds. One of them right after he take the lead on the standings. So was dissapointing not have the fight as it should be.
In the end I won all but 1 race, the one I thought was costing me the Championship. At that point Boza was really strong and was difficult to keep up with him, and also with Jeff that was getting stronger and stronger. Tony was also getting better and better, with Rich aways mixing up.
But, things turned on my way, I guess. Finishing off with a nice win at Spa.
I can take it. 
I had some really nice fights in all races, some crack ones for the Win. So all in all a series that I will miss, thats for sure.

Cheers.

Congrats Angelo!

Tonight was interesting. No question I gained some positions due to retirements. Kept a fairly consistent pace most of the race trying to manage tires & fuel. Sorry again to Joe for the punt...I got too focused on not losing time to Dale and should've backed off a bit more for that corner. At the end I was watching Dave getting closer & closer, waiting for him to drive past me as I couldn't afford to drive faster as I knew I was already too tight on fuel. Breathed a sigh of relief when he mentioned his tires were critical. Things stabilized as we were both easing along the last lap trying to make it to the line w/o an incident. Decent comeback from the last couple races that were utterly disastrous for me.

Thanks again for hosting Dave.

I had a blast last night battling Jimmy, Dan, and Dale, and then trying to catch Chris. I had to back off in the end even though I had plenty of fuel. I finished the race with 3% left on the rear-left and like 6% on the rear-right.

Thanks for coming out and thanks again for supporting the series. I think you guys would love a series with the URD mod. When things slow down a little I will try to host an exhibition.

[Scott Beck]

I'm really pissed. My internet went down last night. I was really looking forward to this race. Oh well.
Just like to say thanks to Dave for setting up the series. I had a great time racing with you guys. I can't wait to see what's next. URD sounds good.

Congrats to Angelo on the win and Championship.

Thank you David for hosting, great series.

Apologies to Tony. I apparently pinched him at the top of the hill as he was passing. Sorry I ended your night.

Was fun jumping in but I'm not Chris... without practice I was floundering. I'd forgotten how tire/fuel strategy works in this series so probably pitted more than I needed to. Also got a stop-and-go for pit speed.

Then my wife started doing something in the kitchen and I lost concentration and spun when she started hammering something. I get nervous when she starts using tools... After that I had two or three more spins and a pit to replace the front aero.

Thanks Ed,I appreciate the apology. I was expecting to get by before or after ea rouge, not in the middle of it. I veered left to avoid taking you out and clobbered the wall on the left and shot across the track into the right side wall. My team hosed what was left of me out of the car and were able to salvage the steering wheel. The car was a total loss and added some more red to ea rouge.

So sorry about ruining your race Jeff, I had a hard time fumbling with my pit menu and trying to select do not repair (curb damage? almost came to a stop before the pit speed limit line on entry, almost overshot my pit. Forgot to turn off the motor when refueling, then turned it off late. started it up only for it to shut off again (musta hit start twice) then left my pit way late. My worst pit stop ever by far.

Congrats to Angelo on the championship.


Edit: Sorry Dan, busy at work trying to sneak a post in. Changed above to Ed.

[Dan W.]

I didn't apologize.... I would never do such a thing, I'm an asshole... j/k

[neverender158]

This was by far my best race. I was very happy with my lap times in practice and qualification. I thought I might get my first podium after Jeff and Tony dnf'd but I couldn't make the hard tires last the entire race. I went in for my second pit for fuel and only changed the fronts. I was gaining on Sheldon but ran out of time.

Congrats to Angelo on the championship and a big thank you to David for hosting this great series. I really enjoyed the mixing up of the tracks instead of running the same ones over and over.
