Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Indy
- Mike – P6- Ran good worked my way to the front laps for a while. Had a couple times where I got shoveled to the back and had to work my way through the pack and car speed. The brake pedal is messed up. I’m surprised I was able to get by with it.
- Tony -P11 knew i was fucked when caution came out with like 10 to go. Was shit in the short run. Got used worse than a lot lizards coke bottle
- David- P got conned into running cause teammates. Taken out by a wreck in front of me. I declare it official. I’m off NiS for at least the season.
- John -PLast. Before the race I told Tony Rochette to watch out for the #8 because he is oblivious to his surroundings. So, on lap 1, turn 1 the 8 car turned down into my lane and ended my night. It’s guys like him that have killed me week after week. Done with NIS for now. I’m a B car and C truck driver for now.
- Brad – P34. Started p5 and was wadded up by turn 3. Leader lost it getting into turn 3 and I could not avoid it. Really frustrated that I have had such poor showings in all the big races this year.
Sunday Open – Indy
- Mike- P4! – Fairly competitive car ran top five most of the day let some laps just didn’t have enough for some of these guys at the end. They’re faster than me but pretty happy with that result.
- Tony – P wrecked out
- Bobby-P wrecked outP32 after leading roughly 1st 20 laps. Lost 88 irating.
Official Series
Spa 24 –
- Brad, Greg, Justin, Tom, David– P7. We had a few mistakes and a power outage that probably cost us a total of 15 minutes of track position. Might have had a shot at a podium, but still finished in a very drivable car.
FIA F4
- Ellis – lime rock – lap one turn four side-by-side. I see a guy up ahead off track. He decides to rejoin the track, literally as we are coming by and destroys all of us.
- From dive bomber dives to turn one on lap, two wipes out two or three of us I couldn’t miss it
- Get wrecked out again, but take a quick repair and drive it back up to finish P 10
- Started P7 made no mistakes and gradually worked my way up to finish P3. I will take that result for the week and park it probably.
Rain Master
- Ellis -Ferrari- P1 Oulton park – took pole position! fell the second at one point but led the most laps had about a 30 second lead. I spun it on the final lap, but somehow got it running and still finished so I’m 20 seconds ahead of second place.
- Qualified P6 went all four times and finished P8
C Open
- John K – P1. Qualified P2 and stayed in top 5 the whole race. On the last lap a guy who was overly aggressive the whole race took out the top three cars on the back stretch. This guy was bump drafting the whole race even though the bumpees had cars in front of them. He tried to bump P3 and spun him out. I benefited from his incompetence. I went around it and cruised to the win.
IMSA
- Brad – P1 (GTD-Interlagos) Started p3 and the leaders got together on lap 3. Was in the right place at the right time. Was able to drive away from the field and score first win since being back on the service.
- P1 (GTD-Fuji) Started p2 and took the lead on lap one. Was able to stretch it out while p2 and 3 were fighting for position. Had a 9 second lead after pitting but lost some time as all faster traffic was catching me at the worst places. Can’t believe that I won two races back to back. Currently leading the championship in Division 3.
League / Hosted Races
Hosted-
- Ellis-Chris McGuire hosted old IndyCar at Pocono finished P9. Graphics look awesome here.
- Winner winner, chicken dinner !! My first time in the dirt midget at dirt Lanier. So the whole Stone only put in 2.4 gallons and you can’t refuel the car that we knew this from the beginning so from the get-go I never put down the throttle more than 50% and I was the only person that actually finished the race. I finished ahead of everybody by four laps. I beat the entire field of 44 cars.
Mad Sim Summer Series (gt3)
- Bathurst
- David – P5, rained last two laps in a torrent, last lap was going 10mph
