Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – Las Vegas
- Mike – P 5- came from the back a couple times and had a green flag stop that went really well pitted from fourth came out fourth after it cycled and ended up finishing fifth hoping for a late caution, but didn’t get one to try to race for the win. Also had the fastest lap of the race.
- Tyler -P 12
- Tony -P wrecked out not even-20 laps in and wrecking in front of me had it just about clear and wrecked car went left into my car ending my night
- Tom- P27
- Brad – P7 Started p3 and was around the front most of the race. Led 21 laps but the car fell off on the long run. Did not have the short run speed but glad to grab a top 10.
Sunday Open – Las Vegas
- Tony – P 24 self spun and got clipped about 5 seconds after the yellow came out got stuck a lap down. My irating is now lowest it’s been in a few years 1700 :/
- Greg –P pit crew would not service the car
Sunday Fixed – Las Vegas
- Mike- P22– was running top 10 or so as high as second on the longer run. I got loose, went through the grass, came back to 15th and decided to short pit on a green flag run. It didn’t work out. Some of those people were able to save up to four laps of fuel I finished a lap down
Wednesday Open – Homestead
- Mike- P 22– ran the tires off. The first run went from 202nd to 11th and faded back to 22nd. Then we had a long green flag run. Having to save fuel the whole run peddling the whole way finished P 22.
- Tom – P2.
- Brad W – P WRECKED – Never made a lap.
- Chris W – P 34. Got wrecked early when a car ahead got loose. I thought they saved it and I passed high… only they didn’t save it and put me in the wall. 5 min of repairs and limped around 13 laps down.
Thursday Open – Homestead
- Mike- P13- did a little bit better than last night on saving tires. There was no fuel strategy involved. We had a late caution after running 15th near the end on that restart. I actually spun out on my own, put me back to the end on the next restart I was able to drive up through there to get to 13th. I’ll take it, not a fan of this track.
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis– P Canadian tire motorsport. First attempt was running P5 and spun the car on my own finished P 13.
- Second attempt qualified second quickly, took the lead, but wandered it by spinning on my own to dead last drove myself back up to P7, but ran out of incident points on the White and D Q out
- Started sixth made a move on a guy on lap one got side-by-side he ran to the grass took me out. I had to tow came back out 22nd worked my way back up to finish P 14.
- Fourth attempt qualified ninth got past last one tried to make a move on P8 and he ran me wide and we both wrecked DNF
IMSA
- Brad – P7(GTD-Road Atlanta) I finished about where I should have. I love this track but I am extremely inconsistent in my lap times. Not sure why but have always struggled here.
