Lower that rear Wing and stretch them gears!

I see Jason put in some practice laps, hopefully he can make it out tonight.
Looking forward to this race. Should be some very fast racing tonight.

I really wanted to make this but start a new job tomorrow and traveling to Philly. Have fun people!

[Seahawks1Fan]

I'm going try to make it tonight if at all possible. All depends on what time I'm able to get home after softball practice.

What are you guys running for rear wing around here?

[neverender158]

For this track I went down to 15 on the rear wing. I played around with 11 but the back end was getting to loose in the corners for me.

[Seahawks1Fan]

Thanks JImmy! I'll try that and see if I can keep it from spinning. This car feels really good, but haven't drove it enough yet to know its limit.

[F1Fan07]

Will be there, coming in cold.

Quick pictures race recap:

Field heading T1 for the sprint race:



Jimmy and Jeff on the fight for 2nd place in Race 1.



Jeff´s view on turn 1 after start at the front row in Race 2. Not a good one!



Dan was holding strong in 2nd, until....



Ed was looking very good for a Podium in Race 2, unfortunately was not meant to be this night.

[neverender158]

Great pictures Angelo! I was planning on doing something like that tonight but you beat me to it. I really appreciate it.

Standings coming soon.

I really loved this track except for that damn wall!  I was having a great race in race 1 but got a little sloppy on that corner and The Wall caught me.  
Same thing for race 2.  
Congrats to Angelo for the wins and to Dale and Chris for surviving race 2 long enough to get 2nd and 3rd.  7 racers started race 2 and only 3 finished.  

Glad Jason and Sheldon could take part in 1 race. Good to see them back on the grid.

Started feeling a flow to the track by the end of Race 1. Started feeling comfortable so started pushing in Race 2...which was ultimately my downfall. I'm just glad I didn't take out Jeff in my wreck, though it sounds like he got caught in another one later.

Gutted for Ed. I was really hoping to see him get on the podium.

[Seahawks1Fan]

Had fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long. I clipped the wall and it sent my car spinning and destroyed the engine. Still scratching my head why it was such a hard impact when it appeared I just scraped it. Also not sure why it killed my engine, but oh well. Love the GBR THE WALL logo Jimmy!

[helios16v]

I had the exact same thing happen on the left hand wall before the prior turn. Fortunately it didn't take out the engine and I was able to limp around to the pits for 6 minutes in damage repair. I think Ed & Dan's wrecks were very similar.

I felt pretty bad about wrecking in front of Jeff, but after watching the replay, he had room, and he was right where he needed to be. If and that's a big IF, but if he touched the wall it was very light, but from what I could see, it looks more like an invisible wall piece snagged his car, if the collision box for that wall was smooth as it should be, he should have slipped through with nothing but a scratch on the fender, if that.
I still feel bad, because if I hadn't been there he could have used any line, but i don't feel as bad because it looks like a track problem killed him.
As for myself, I should have settled in and just held my pace till Jeff forced the issue, but nooooo!! I had to see if there was anyway to catch or at-least make up some time on Angelo, so I was trying to squeeze every inch out of the track to keep the momentum going. Oh well, live and learn.
