Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Pocono
- John -P24. Started P19, This was what is now a typical NIS race. 31 out of 81 laps under caution. I got creamed 5 times; none my fault. Spent a ton of time in the pits getting repaired; I would get it fixed only to get clobbered again and need more repairs. Not to complain too much, but NIS is becoming less and less enjoyable. I’m not quitting, but you’re not safe even running up towards the front anymore. It’s so bad, we had a really bad blinker. He was told over and over again. His response: “F you guys. I don’t care, I’m racing”. I know it’s protestable, but after these races I don’t have the will to send in a replay.
- Chris W – P 12. Kept it out of trouble and avoided several wrecks on the end. 5 to go restart I was P9 and brought it home P12.
Sunday Open – Pocono
- Mike- P wrecked out on the start because I was trying to shift with buttons and didn’t go up in gear. I went down in gear and blew the engine.
- David – P wrecked out, i’m really about done with the A car
- Justin -P wrecked out from being a side, drafting fool
- Greg –P4 went 44 laps on fuel at the end with a couple cautions and guys with fresher tires beat me
- Bobby- wrecked out Ran a fairly clean race till restart with 3 to go when fucktards lost their minds and just started door banging everything in sight. Would have been like 6th even with throttle not reaching 100% most straights.
Wednesday Open – Indy
- Mike- P15- I have a problem with my pedals not working right so it was not comfortable not the fastest out there but hung in there and got a top 15
- David – P19 , i don’t wanna do this anymore.
- Justin – P2 I would give anything to have the last run back 10 to go. I was p10 when I entered pit road and I was the only one that took 2 tires exited P2. On the restart I passed the leader quickly held the lead until the last lap, last turn. I could have driven the car harder there was plenty left. I know I should be happy but this one got away from me. Should have won. O well head up try again.
- Brad W – P20. Started p3 and was in the top 10 for the first half of the race. Ended up getting wrecked twice. The first was somewhat expected and the second was unintentional. Really frustrated as the car had great speed and should have been competing for a win.
- Greg – P Winner Winner, (Pole, Most Laps Led, And Win)
- Chris W – P. 13 took a gamble on fuel strategy. Was leading with 20 to go and was running low. Needed a caution and never got it. Took fuel and 4 tires came out 18th and drove up to 13th.
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis – Long Beach qualified 10 out of 19. Big pile up turn one lap one I slowed down and missed all of it and came out of that turn. P3 fell back to P5, but worked my way back up to finish P2.!
- Started 12 got to seventh on the first lap and was able to finish P7
- Started at 13 at Laguna Seca. Got to 11th after the first lab and worked my way up to finish P4.
- Screwed up qualifying. Start at 18. Got in a lap one incident where I had to pit for repairs came out 20th worked my way back up to finish P 12.
- Wrecked out
- Qualified seventh finish P7
A Open
- Brad W – P21 (Indy) Started p14 but took it easy on start. Very hard to pass and if you started one but did not complete it, you were a sitting duck. Race had a long green flag run to the end that allowed for green flag stops. Stayed out two extra laps and that was a mistake. Lost too much time to cars that I was racing with. Top split p21 and I learned quite a bit.
IMSA
- Brad – P3 (GTD-CTMP) Started p4 in class and ran in top 3 most of the race. Was raining the entire race but was drivable. Drove up to p2 before pit stops and did my normal strategy of pitting late but p3 pitted earlier than me and jumped me during my stop. Was up to p2 in points after the week ended.
