Race report
Monterey Grand Prix on Aug 23, 2008
Car: Champcar '06. Class: CCWS. Start: 2. Finish: 2. Laps: 70.

good race. Jan ran away from me at the start but as the race went on i got faster. i had a horrible hangover today that just kind of numbed me haha.

for my first pitstop i first went onto the wrong road before i realized it wasnt pit lane, then when i got into the pits i guess my speed limiter wasnt on (though i'm sure i pressed it...maybe hit the wrong button). for that i got a stop-and-go which probably cost me 25-30 seconds and dropped me to fourth.

it took me a while but finally i caught brian fairley and i could barely keep up with him much less make a pass. after a few laps around though i got close enough at the final corner before the straight and drafted him into the T1 with a really sloppy pass on the outside, but i had the inside for the next turn so i had him. passed morissette while he was in the pits and just kept pushing in the hopes Jan would make a mistake. i closed the gap by 7 seconds or so but he was still 25 seconds ahead. but hey, atleast i got fastest lap!

i'm impressed that almost everyone finished the race today. those curbs are pretty treacherous at laguna seca. and thanks to everyone for letting us by. i dont think i had any problems with that at all today.

so i learned a good lesson today. being hungover on race day is BAD. lol

edit: oh ya and another dumb thing i did was load up with 50 liters more fuel than i needed. ugh
