Pocono Update

Listener Craig Ream gives the Lounge some great feedback about the infield courses at Pocono.

Hi Gents,

Just to lend input on your mention about the Pocono infield courses.  While they ā€œcouldā€ be used for go carts but they are most often used for HPDE and drift events.     Some club level racing is also booked there. (example spec Miataā€™s)

The legacy Pocono config actually has a few of the infield courses but they are now dated and have changed slightly.

If iracing did earlier eras, I kind of wish theyā€™d unlock the pits and not enforce modern pit road speed limits. Maybe it wouldnā€™t ā€œaddā€ any new dynamic to the races, but Iā€™d like to see it to determine this. Maybe a week 13 experiment but would likely require complex coding for something that seems ā€œsimple.ā€

Friday Open -Bristol 

  • Mike -.  P right before halfway 16 incident and six minutes optional damage. Finally on lap for 58. I get dq out completely too many incidents.  
  • Tom-p dq out
  • Rochette P4 avoided stuff stayed clean lap cars blocked me from racing against 2nd and 3rd with 10 to go 
  • Tony – P 22, Started P24 really ran a clean and uneventful race, got to 40 to go and some guy fenced a guy then came down across my nose and the car was dead. Guy apologized. I would be lying if i said i hadn’t done something dumb on here

Sunday Fixed- Kansas

  • Justin – P LAST! I ran a half lap and a guy spun in front of me. I chose the wrong lane. Little damage. Next restart guy spun directly in front of me wouldn’t miss it. Never made it one full lap. Probably the shortest NIS race i have ever had.

Wednesday Open: bristol

  • Mike- P dnf. Lab 150 a huge pileup for five cars were up against the wall. I came around the corner on the high end at full speed didnā€™t see them at all and plowed right in 50 seconds. Optional in over 10 minutes required I couldnā€™t even drive it back to the pit.
  • David – P 6.  Even doing my best to stay out of trouble was at 16x on the caution with 20 to go.  There was an even later caution that I barely missed.  But on GWC i wouldnā€™t have lost positions to lappers at that point as not pitting would be less laps than pitting, so felt safe.  But survived by trying to not over race the car.  Race had cautions but wasnā€™t horrific like a Martinsville usually is.  Gained a point of safety rating with the 16x
  • Justin – P27, had a fast car just over drove it. Spun out. It  was on me.
  • Chris – p 19. I should have drove around for first 400 laps. Was P8 and got wrecked on lap 150. After 15 min of repairs I finished p19 80 laps down. Passed 11 cars while racing wrecked. 

Greg –PKilled it

Official Series

Ellis– 

  • Hosted Chris maguire Supercars at Michigan. We have the pit for fuel when we did nobody could get fuel. Everyone was stuck in the pitch and the pit crews would not feel the car.  
  • Draft Meister trucks at Daytona. Backed out and chickened out when I found out it was open set. 
  • FIAF4  racing regionally at lime rock Park- wrecked out twice in a row. The second race I did the fast repair after towing and drove from 23rd back up to 13.
  • Next race got up to around ninth before I wrecked out on lot 14 on my own had to tow.

Friday Open – 

  • Mike -.  P kind of messed up during green flag stops by pitting too late and losing the draft. Luckily, I caught a caution and was able to recover got to the lead with six to go. Was leading the second Greenway checker  made some bad news.  Started third for the final restart and made some bad news and fell to  eight.
  • David – p dnf, running in front, bad bump on inside lane took me out to loose track position, then got caught up in 2 other wrecks.  Engin blew coming to the green.
  • Rochette P wreckedā€¦ just couldnt avoid getting wrecked 

Sunday Open- 

  • Tom D – P 8
  • Justin- p2 start 21st didnt really keep it clean not really my fault had 12x with no damage. Alot of ghost xā€™s. Its helps to have a teammate in your split. There was a couple of other teammates there were locked together and pretty much controlled the race.
  • Tony – p wrecked again. Felt like the yoodler climbing up that hill waiting for the right price and just toppling over 
  • Kyle P. P17 Started P1 and kept it up near the front all race led 15 laps and had the lead on all 3 GWC and was in major fuel saving mode and went 54 laps on a tank of fuel only to run out halfway down the Back stretch on the final lap. Coasted home to a P17

  • Justin  P p2 start 21st didn’t really keep it clean not really my fault had 12x with no damage. A Lot of ghost xā€™s. It helps to have a teammate in your split. There were a couple of other teammates there who were locked together and pretty much controlled the race.

Wednesday Open: Darlington

  • Mike- p 16. We basically had 30 laugh runs all night. I ran an average of fifth Place most of the night as high as third.  But at the end of the race, a 57 lap run I faded after about 30 really hard from fifth all the way back to 16th I suck.
  • David – p. P15 with damaged steering from lap 90 when out of control car flew into my left rear, lot of carnage allowed me to creep back up to 15th
  • Justin – p, dont know flat out got fucking dumped. In my opinion I was probably top 5 speed at least. Apparently I need to learn how to protest. Luckily i was the 28 car so i didn’t hurt the rating to bad
  • Tony – P7 wasn’t feeling good about this 1 but after missing a few good wrecks ended up having a long run car. Even led some GF laps but should’ve pitted alittle sooner. Race went over 70 GF laps at the end. Best ive ran at Darlington in about 3 years
  • Greg -P15 Was racing for P4 going into turn 3 on last lap and exited turn 4 P15

Thursday Open: 

  • Mike – p dnf- Rose restarting third on laugh, 60 and the guy behind me floated from the bottom all the way to the top going into one and wiped out the guy next to me who wiped us all out eight minutes required.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Sunday Fixed

  • Kyle P. P26 Started 22nd. After talking with Lawrence from Sim Coaches and having him help iron out my pedal issues I felt confident and was excited for this race, but little did I know what was about to unfold. Ran a perfect half of a first lap and then turn 7 got caught up in an unavoidable wreck and got the dreaded Italian Meatball. Went to pit right after and the steering was so bad that the car whipped around and I spun on pit entry and got an unsafe pit. Came on down, served my penalty and got the required repair of 27 seconds and decided to wait out the optional as I was hoping to fix the steering fully and just start knocking out laps. Ran a consistent race to the end. Finished P26, not sure if I am looking forward to the Glen next week.
  • Tom D P15 started p24 Seemed to of had a clean race for the most part.
  • Justin  P8 finally got the hang of this track x2 still off a couple seconds on lap time. Started 21st

Wednesday Open: Watkins Glen

  • Mike- p 11. Went from 20th to 15th on the first slab was ninth when pitstop cycle started came out seventh quickly got loose and spun out and spun out another time and fell back to 11.
  • David – p. 9  avoided some early mess, stayed clean and finished about as fast as I was
  • Justin – p10, just need to learn that its real slick on new tires only made mistakes on the first couple laps on new tires plus upā€™d on ir
  • Tony – p 45 minutes of required 6 laps inā€¦. Started 9th was ok til someone messed up T1 and sent me in the wall. This car sucks on the road and i like the Glen too
  • Chris – P 7. For the most part stayed on the track and stayed clean. 
  • Tyler – P- 15. Started from the pits and quickly made it up to the top 20. Made my pitstop and got caught speeding. 15 sec penalty  put out me 22nd. Raced back up to finish 15th. Letā€™s talk about a 0x! Beyond proud of myself to have a clean road finish. 

Thursday Open: indy

  • Mike – p qualified fifth car number 10. Had a couple of loose moments in the first three laps and fell back to 12 Made my Way back up to fourth before stops and ended up fourth after stops. Great run.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Thursday Fixed- Michigan

Kyle P. P8. Started 34 at the very back and just ran to the front in the first 30 laps. Got as high as P2 but fell off on restarts and just couldnā€™t get that top 5.

Friday Open – Michigan

  • Mike -.  Pwrecked out. Lap 69 was running about 15. They wreck in front of me I canā€™t miss it knocked right front off the car.
  •  Justin –  p
  • David – p wrecked, was runnin well, but on late run, i have to check up, then the guy who gets inside me stays in third lane instead of going to 2nd lane, I tried to run the outline which was the 3rd lane and we collided.
  • Kyle P. P10 Started 3rd but just couldnā€™t keep it out of the back bumpers of other cars. I was pushing hard to draft as much as possible but just caused problems for myself and ended up with 10x but still walked away with a top 10 finish of P10.

Saturday Fixed Michigan

Sunday Open- Michigan

  • Tom D – P5. Started 20th. Was able to work my way past the few crahses.Ā  Was able to miss getting damaged.Ā  Iā€™ll take a top 5
  • Hall – p 18 topsplit
  • Kyle P. P3 Started P4 and just couldnā€™t fire off good on the start and fell back to 25th. Slowly made my march to the front. After green flag stops I pushed it to Lap 50 and pitted with the mindset that we would go green and I would have just enough to finish the race. Cycled out P21 and just started to gain positions, avoiding wrecks. Got to the final restart with 7 to go and I restarted P3. Battled with a car that was much faster but was also extremely reckless for P3. Once he used up his tires in the first 5 laps of the restart. I was able to drive past him and hold off a Podium finish of P3.

Wednesday Open: Indy Road

  • Mike- p 10. Started 18th got turned around sideways and turned one lap one fell back quite a ways, but was able to recover quite nicely.
  • David – p. 
  • Kyle– P P-20 Bring back the Oval. Started P23 and took advantage of a Lap 1 Turn one wreck and gained a ton of spots. But in typical fashion I was super inconsistent with these bricks I mean cup cars. Couldnā€™t find the right braking points and seemed to overshoot turn 1 a ton. Fell back as far as P25 and slowly gained a handful of spots. Think I am one and done here at Indy this week. 
  • Justin – pI forgot to log out. I was practicing earlier. I’m going to wait until I get better before i do an NiS. I still suck. Ha
  • Tony – p indy road is
  • Chris – P 10. Finished my first NiS road course. Kept the car on the track for a top 10.Ā 
  • Tom – P5 – Started 10th.  Was able to get myself to racing for the top 5.  Came out 10th after pitting.   Was able to pass 5th place on the last lap to gain another top 5.  A good points day

Thursday Open: indy

  • Mike – pā€¦.. winner winner chicken dinner. Start at eights got to six by the end of lap one before pitstop started got up to P3 eventually cycle to the lead and kept it for the rest of the race when I pitted for fuel I had a 53 second lead when I came out after the pitstop I had a nine second lead the guy and second was much faster and caught me over the remaining labs and it was as close as 1.5 seconds behind when he had some issue and I was able to move on and win the race and lead the most Laps. My 95th career win.  My fifth NIS win this year.  My first at this track.
