3/ mind the gap – when i would coast through a corner, others are on the throttle and brake and faster
4/ mindset – Race it not drive it

Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Official Series
FIA F4
Ellis -Rd., Atlanta started sixth finished P5 race a blinker the entire entire time. I told him he was blinking a couple times he didn’t care we ended up spending each other out at one point but didn’t lose any spots somehow but I was number 21 so pretty good points for the day.
C Open
- John K – P4 at Daytona. This was a pit strategy race. I was running P6 in the lead pack and decided to pit alone. Risky, but it paid off because others stayed out too long. Came out of pits in 4th and stayed there. It’s hard to believe, but my irating and safety ratings have gone up since doing C races instead of NIS. That is a sad statement on the state of affairs in NIS.
IMSA
- Brad – P8 (GTD-Road America) Started p8 and finished. Was bottom car in upper split and had the pace of an 8th place car. Really struggled on the long straights in the Corvette. Not sure if it is just top end or me not getting great exits. Sitting 2nd in points by 3. Need to get a better result before next week.
League / Hosted Races
iRacers Lounge Dega 200
- Brad – P23 Got wrecked, fixed damage and drove to the lead and got hooked.
- Chris W – P 1. We had a 43 car field. Stayed in the back for the first 75% of the race. Was one of the few untouched cars at the end. Started behind Greg for GWC. We got a big lead and I was able to pass him in the tri-oval for the win by .037 of a second.
Hosted-
- Ellis-Chris McGuire supercars at Michigan, Michigan finished P9
- Imsa cars at spa. Started at 18th to 10th by end of lap one. Worked my way up to finish P7.
