Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Winter NiS – Daytona
- Mike – P wrecked out. Lost it it on my own.
- Greg – P
- Kyle- P
- Bobby- P
- Tyler -P
- Tony -P
- David- P
- John -P15, I really messed up this race. Got hit by other drivers twice, but I banged the wall twice on my own for no good reason. Required repairs put me 16 laps down. WNIS though is a great series and a great one to run in the off season. But boy oh boy I gotta do better than this.
Sunday fixed – Winter NiS – Daytona
- Mike- P 15- had a great race going, was leading on the final pitch stop under green, got sideways coming into pit road, nosed it into the wall, then reversed a bit to get turned around and ran into somebody like a fool. Totally embarrassed that I gave up my win and that I backed into somebody and ruined them as well.
- Justin – P8
- John – P4. The state of race craft is sad. Started P15. I passed only one car that was on the lead lap under green flag conditions the whole race but gained 11 spots. It was all due to attrition. I rode around the back the whole race to avoid the nonsense. It worked. I’m very happy with a top 5, but it’s kind of sad I got there without ever having to race. In any event, I love the 87. It’s a blast to drive.
- David – wrecked out, caught in first big one, managed to keep on lead lap through two yellows, everything fixed with 10 to go, started p10, car wouldn’t go into 3rd gear.
Wednesday Open – Winter NiS – Phoenix[Legacy]
- Mike- P15- ran as high as P7 but spun out on my own coming off for two different times to embarrass myself. Not happy with how I ran.
- Justin – P 8
Thursday Open – Winter NiS – Phoenix[Legacy]
- Mike- P 15 another horrible race where I spun out twice on my own I am just a mess out here ended up with a drive-through penalty on the green white checker
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis– P Rd., America in the wet could not qualify without wrecking. Only two people got
- Laps. I’m gonna be 11th. Got up to as high as fourth but eventually spun off on my own had to pull into the pit for repair came out 10th worked my way back up to finish P7.
- Qualified 12 and finish P 10 dry race
B Open
- John – P16. Got taken out early by guys who can’t handle cold tires at Dover and who want to win on lap one. But, this is the state of race craft. Sometimes drivers have to realize it’s okay to give up a spot instead of pushing too hard and wrecking. Oh well, onward I go.
IMSA
- Brad W – P wrecked (GTD-Road America) Started on pole but gave up lead after 4 laps. Has settled into p3 only to get taken out by a very impatient GTP in the Hurry Down section.
- P7 after starting p4. Rear ended p3 getting into T2 and the car was a pig the rest of the race because of damage. Tried my best to be competitive but was .7 to a second off of pace from damage.
League / Hosted Races
Hosted-
- Ellis – old Indy car at new Charlotte with 59 drivers in the grid got myself up to as high as P2 before being wrecked out
- 87 de Talladega wrecked out
Polar Series – Daytona
- Mike – P3. We had a great race working together at one point we had four cars make a sudden move from the top to the bottom so we could line up and we basically took control of the race for the first 2/3 of the race we lost the lead somehow on the last stop we got caught up in a pack that was dragging us down, but we eventually caught the leaders, and I was able to find a way to get to the outside behind a guy and I basically pushed him to the wind. I was hoping to get around him, but I lost Justin on the last lap but nonetheless a great finish we dominated the race up until that point and I’m super proud of the showing in a caution free race.
- Justin – P6
- Greg – P7
- Brad W – P15 Thought we played the right strategy but in the end we did not. Was tucked up behind Justin P the whole race until a huge check up caused me to lose the draft and I fell back.
- Chris – P 22
- Donnie Spiker – P 23
- Bobby Jonas – P 24
- McKenzie Stephens – P 29
- David Waldron – P 34
- John Kerley – P 35.Made two rookie mistakes. Speeding in pits on first stop resulted in a 40 second hold. Second pit stop I spun out on the apron in turn 1. Decided to quit on about lap 70. Not a rage quit, but figured there was no reason to keep going and get in other people’s way. Did enjoy running in a four man draft for a while with team mates Ellis, Wrenn and Pearson. This is not a series you can make mistakes in; too many great drivers. I’ll keep running.
