Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Richmond
- Tony -P7 with 0x and 14 cautions. A regular 4 lettered first name guy knocked me out of a top 5 on the white flag. just surprised he didn’t wreck me
- Brad – P30 Started p6 and ran in the top 10 for all of the race. A restart with 25 to go running 5th and get destroyed. Forced three wide on restart and wrecked trying to back out. Sit on track for almost 15 seconds to let all the cars go by only to get hit by someone who never lifted.
- Chris W – P 18. Was 11th with 10 to go and got loose and spun. Went back to P22 for GWC’s and got up to 18th. We had 19 cautions… it was not pretty.
Sunday Open – Richmond
- Greg –P13 –
- Tom – P16
- Joe – p4 – I would’ve won if it stayed green cuz I was running 5th running the leaders down quick. I was over a 1/2 faster with 20 to go. But nooo. lol 3 caution later. lol
Wednesday Open – Michigan
- Mike- P loaded wrong set. Went to the back. Caught caution to fix that but got destroyed in the next big one. Soldiered on to get destroyed again. Dnf
- Justin – P2, long story short, came down to the last corner. I got to the leader’s right rear side and drafted him until we were about even and then he threw me a door and we got stuck together from the exit of turn 4 to the start finish line. Lost by .005 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day I will figure this shit out.
- Brad W – P28 Started p12 and drove to the top 8. Was making progress longer in the run to get door slammed by a guy for no reason. Decided to get the damage fixed on the second yellow flag and restarted mid pack. Started to drive back up only to get caught up in a wreck from up front. The NiS wreck fest continues. Three race weeks in a row of horrible finishes and none my fault.
- Tony P30. Oh home sweet home. had a fast car on the fast track but apparently it was too fast for a couple of guys in front of me when a Chase Elliott car got wrecked and had no where to go. Meatballed
- Kyle P – P21 started P7 and just was lazy on restarts. Had 12 cautions and had to play wreck avoidance the whole race until 3 to go and I got collected up in a wreck and the car was junk and limped home P21.
- Greg – P17 was p4 on the 3rd gwc and was taken out by a guy that was in the gwc 2 wreck and given his spot back
- Chris W – P 19. Ended a Michigan race with 24X. What a sloppy night. Got into a slow car and wrecked half the field. Then got caught in another wreck. Blinker made me wreck Mike and myself. I hate it. This is my favorite track and I was looking to have a good run. On the next week. .
Thursday Open – Michigan
- Mike- P11 got in a couple different incidents but no damage was able to keep it together and finish P 11. I’ll take a finish.
- Tony – P8 decided to roll out the throwback Kellogg Birb car. Was faster than Wednesday night. Again with the dumbasses that wanna take it 3-4 wide out of turn 2 and not hold a line. Got some wheel damage but the birb was still fast
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis -that’s Sonoma took Tuesday off to finish installing the brakes. First race out on the new pedal set was only six people I was leading the race spun out once and twice and finished third with only 60 points. That was a great opportunity missed.
- Car number 14 out of 24 qualified third and finished second. 86 points is enough for me to retain my lead and park it for the week
IMSA
- Brad – P5 (GTD Barcelona) Started p8 and was able to drive up to p5. That was about as much speed as I had. This is not one of my better tracks. Was 2nd in points at the end of the week, worried that with the drop weeks I’m going to slip behind in the points.
