Michael Dionne
Bilateral CMC ligament injury….held on to the wheel when I shouldn’t. Big lesson learned.
Jesse Powell
I got a bad case of turf toe on my left foot from breaking barefoot on load cells and was recently diagnosed with carpel tunnel in both wrist. The carpel tunnel can be attributed to my job but was definitely made worse with my DD wheel.
Scott Carlson
Nothing crazy…dislocated a finger when I lost control at Charlotte…wheel went nuts and my ring finger got caught in the wheel.
Stephen Bradshaw
Put my shoulder out when clipped doing 240 on the straight at Monza spun me into the wall the motion platform NLR Motion plus x 2 and Traction plus launched me one way and 21NM wheel went other way lol.

Whose Truth?
Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Daytona
- Mike – P DNF had a good race going until I didn’t was near the front riding on the bottom and the bottom lane kind of disintegrated the middle lane neck coated. The bottom guy was right in front of me and I got destroyed. DNF.
- Bobby- P2
- Tony -P11
- John -Pwrecked out
- Brad – P18. Started p9 ran up front for first half of the race. Was shuffled to the rear after green flag stops. Drove back to the front and made a poor attempt to help teammate Justin Pearson win but failed. Ended up getting caught up in the big one and crawled across the line in 18th.
Sunday Open – Daytona
- Mike- P DNF out for a Sunday drive with Tom just riding in the top 10 at one point the outside lane started collapsing, and the guy was desperate to get down. There wasn’t a hole but he forced his way into me and I lost all my spots I was able to quickly drive back up through there, and was pushing the leader on the bottom with 13 to go in an epic battle and I like a fool blew my engine oil too hot I was ashamed of myself and felt really bad caused a big wreck. Dnf
- Bobby-P winner winner chicken dinner! With Joe Owen Spotting
- Tom – P wrecked out on second Green white checker running eighth
- Joe – p wrecked out
Sunday Fixed – Daytona
- Mike- P 15. Got involved in several incidents. I had to drive-through right at the end for a penalty multiple minutes. Damage was a pretty rough week.
- Chris – p 9. Mike and I were in the race and we got in a few fender benders. After a late pass though penalty there was a crash right away, missed and wrecked at the end…. Sort of to finish 9th. New personal record iR 3324.
Wednesday Open – Darlington
- Mike- P18– ran basically around 10 to 15th most of the race got some damage never fixed it. I would feed after about 2025 laps. We had green white checkers at the end. I got myself up to seventh but got to drive through penalty on the final lap of the final green, white, checker so it put me back to 18.
- Brad W – P2 after starting p9. Ran in top 5 most of the race. Was able to take the lead very late in the race only to have the yellow come out and force a GWC. Got a great start but over drove on the last lap and lost the win by .006 seconds. I wanted to throw up. Gave away a win.
- Chris W – P19. This one makes me want to cry. Was P12 with 8 to go and was quickly catching the slower cars ahead. I’m good at saving tires. Passing 11th he got loose on exit of 4 and took us both out. Only race of the week. One of my favorite places to race. P19.
Thursday Open – Darlington
- Mike- P DNF top split. Started 23rd, I started making my way forward up to 18th around lap 18, go to pass the guy on the inside of one and two, I touch him just a hair that got him loose. Then he comes down to my lane and turns me nose into the wall. There’s no steering
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis -. 1st race of the week top split car number 15 out of 16 qualified 10th could not back up my time from practice the night before
- P3! 76 points. Probably not enough.
- P 16. Was a high split where I could’ve easily gotten enough points to win it by running if the seventh got as high as six after starting 11th but got raced at a guy and got greedy and spun myself off. Event had spun off three times putting me to the back.
IMSA
- Hall – P7 Single Split at COTA, top 7 iRating 7.9, 5.7, 3.4, 2.5, 2.0, 3.1, 1.6
- Brad – P1 (GTD – VIR) Winner Winner! The race started on a wet track but with no rain. Track continued to dry but I made the gamble on staying on wets while some others put on slicks. The gap I had after stops was too much for them to overcome. I know that I have complained about the rain but these seem to be some of my best results. Sitting p4 in championship, hoping to get a decent finish to get back into top 3. Don’t think I can catch the guy in p1.
