Results
NASCAR Winter iRacing Series
FridayFixed – Winter NiS – Martinsville
- Mike- P6- ended up getting a passing under yellow because I was being a dumb ass and it was a 26 second hold penalty so I lost two laughs was able to get lucky dogs and get them back then Justin had a computer problem and I got a penalty for passing to the left before the start finish because he ended up in the wall right in front of me I got another lucky dog to get back from that and then later I get another passing to the left on a restart from a dumbass move I made because somebody was slow in front of me and got another lucky dog after that so worked my way up from dead last to finish P6 by staying out the last 70 laps or so
- Justin – P DNF
Wednesday open – Winter NiS – Charlotte
- Mike- P DNF. Spun out on my own and turn one three or four times eventually wrecked it where I couldn’t continue near the end DNF.
Official Series
FIA F4
- Ellis – P 13 at Virginia third attempt qualified 16th got dumped from being side-by-side with somebody and he knocked me off the track on the first lap fell way back and made my way up to finish P 13
League / Hosted Races
Hosted-
- Ellis -ran the new BMW at Oulton Park wrecked out on the first lap, but finish the race fun little car
- Toyota‘s GR 86 @live rock in the rain qualified P2. Wrexked out
- Then ran several other races at the BMW at Oulton Park. Never finished.
- On Tuesday, I’ve started fifth finish second
- Next race got the pole position, pulled away for a 16 second lead and took the win !! Winner winner chicken dinner first win in this car!
Polar Series – Chicagoland Speedway
- Mike – P19. Caution free. I got what I deserved, not a fun race car that was super tight. It was just enough laps to make a one stop strategy for most cars.
- Justin – P6, disappointed i should have had a p2
- Brad W – P21 Really struggled to keep the tires under me. Blew a RF three laps before halfway. Spent the rest of the race trying to save fuel. Ran out on backstretch after taking the white flag.
- Chris – P 14 – Went with the 1 Pit Stop stragity. Gained 7 spots from where I started. I enjoy Chicagoland in the A car. Not a bad night.
- Donnie Spiker – P20
RFK Holiday Showdown
- Brad W – P15 Started p30 and had to survive the first two stages. Because of no yellows, there was a spin early on that broke the field up and I lost a lot of time. Second stage started and I was able to make my way up to p20 till getting fenced on the front stretch battling 3 and 4 wide. Caught a yellow before the last stage and was able to get the damage fixed. Drove up into the top 20 and with a late race restart, avoided the carnage and grabbed a p15. Was sitting really good on GWC with cars ahead staying out on old tires but had to avoid a mess coming off T2 on restart and dropped spots to avoid an accident. Finished better than I did last year.
