Kansas 150

Everything was OK before 1st caution, qualified 6th or so, making long runs practice in high 31 and when going out pits car was a real piece of shit thight, without power, so very disapointing race, I just wandered 75 laps

sorry for the tap Stan in turn 3. you were a lap or more down with 12 to go and you went into turn 3 low so I went high but you slid up to the high line. very important if you choose a line to stay there even if you have to slow way down to stay there.
sorry Connor but i think i'm the one that tapped you after the yellow came out. i thought with less than 10 to go we were racing back and you had slowed. not my intention to have wrecked you, all my fault. sorry again.

WHAT A RACE.

I had a lot of fun, even though my car was CRAP!!
I have to say this . . . NO ONE owes me any appologies tonight . . . these things happen--it's racing. I mean, I was messing around in Charles Davis' rearview mirror--trying to goof him up on the re-start . . I saw this nice phat opening . . . like a Krispy-Kreme doughnut, went for it but Tom Malanga was going for it too--WHAM!!! I'm spinning. But I wasn't mad. Disappointed, maybe, just a little--but not mad. I need to go on a diet anyway.

However, I do owe an appology to Jim Barisoff! Man, I nailed you after that caution! I'll use an old Rusty Wallace excuse and say, "I had brake fade, brother. I had the brakes matted to the floor and the car wouldn't stop."
So sorry for trying to kill you Jim. Won't happen again.

Very fun race guys!! Congrats to Ted on the win!!

Wow I got alot to think about for 2 to 3 weeks!!
I knew that with this new sim things would be diff,And so goes the battle.Had a good time tonight even though I made my way to the back a slow and painful death!
And with all the trouble I had tonight I really did have fun!
X your a stand up guy for taking it so well tonight when I hit you on the restart (sry anyways)
William Mize and I went at it hard after I got a back to the longest line.We went at it for awile as I tryed to keep him back with staying low,even though he was faster then me!
But that was not such a good move with somone I have not raced much on track.I went low and slow he went low and fast...End of story....
William sent me a sry note tonight.But it was just racing.
I HADE FUN!!!!!!!!

Worst DNF I've ever gotten and I've had some shitty DNFs before. This one felt like a bitch slap to the face. Had an awesome car, couldn't get any better in terms of handling. It went wherever I wanted it to go and was pretty damn fast to boot. Had no engine sounds from the start of the race to the end which made things harder, but over time, I got used to it. Lots of great battles with all the top runners throughout the race and it was shaping up to be a great finish. Kept screwing myself by overshooting my pitstall on multiple occasions, but I was still able to stay with the leaders.

Those last cautions were screwing me a bit since my car was better on the longer runs, but even then, I thought I could get up to the lead and take the win away. I thought the first green-white checker was really going to hurt me but on the restart, I zoomed around Jeremy and Jim and had my sights set on David in the lead. Unfortunately for me, another caution came out and I as I was slowing down to take the caution, I got hit in the rear by Dan which sent me into the wall, killing my engine. How a simple smack into the wall with the RF grenades a engine, I have no fucking clue, but I guess it does in this game. Sooooo close to having an almost perfect race. The racing was just awesome, and even if I didn't get up to David and battle for the lead, it would have eclipsed any TPSCC race I've ever been in, it was just a blast. Guess it wasn't meant to be...

I did learn a hell of a lot tonight. In the opening laps of practice, I was barely in the top 10 but after finding a few things out, the car was just hooked up. Look forward to applying it in future races.

I appreciate the apology Dan. I know you didn't do it on purpose but the whole situation is still leaving a shitty taste in my mouth. I'll get over it, eventually. It bombed my stats, that's for sure :P

Very disappointing non-race for me.

With my times being so far off from the rest of the field, I tried a qual setup (internet download) that I had no laps with. The thing was way loose and I spun on 1st lap of qual and just ran real slow for last place on the grid (00:37.xxx LoL)

I'm still not sure what happend next. Warm-up was over and I was not sure when race would start. I get in my car and the car position indicator is showing all the cars in a formation lap mode! I take off from the pits to catch the pack (passing a GREEN pit exit light) only to see a message "exiting pits against RED light"??? or words to that effect! I was then shown as DQ'd, end of day for me. : (

Glad to hear you guys had a good race, Tom would have enjoyed it. Congrats to Ted and all who finished. Tough luck Conor, better luck next time.

Dan

I have some serious issues with ARCA which I will post elsewhere, suffice it to say that the race was pure torture for me and I will have to re-evaluate my participation in the series. I don't mind at all being 16th, but I do mind being a mobile chicane. Ovals don't have chicanes! I hope I was not in the way of the leaders, hang on...I hope I was not in the way of anyone I was THAT slow.
I got a mysterious stop/go because of a mix up of who I was supposed to follow, although I was always following what the sim was telling me: I decided to serve it without complaints because at least it would give me a chance to scratch myself & have a snack-- I was that slow. I was also one of the idiots, I think the only one, who realized I had no fuel serviced in my pitstops and had to make a green flag stop to get some: an other good time to have an nose pick and a couple of nachos. Even the pace car could outrun me today.
Congrats to everyone, it sounds like everyone had a good time.

Congrats to the Top-3.

Qual: Well qualed in the back as usual. I actually like starting in the back so it was all good.

Race: My setup was tight every time I practiced with it. I tried a few things and nothing seemed to make it better. Race starts and the thing is a tic loose. I managed to get used to it as it would tighten up over the run. Then lost it in the corner. That was the first caution. I hope I didn't get into anyone. I added some wedge during the first pit stop and that thing would take off after a few laps. It was really good on long runs. I managed to pick up some positions both on track and in the pits. Oh sorry to who ever that was that I nailed in the pits. I guess I didn't turn the wheel enough. Me and Tom had a great battle going for a long time. It seemed I was quicker coming off the corner which made me faster on the straights. He was determined not to let me by. I just kinda rode for a while hoping he would mess up but he didn't. Then I tried to push the issue a little and ended up getting into the back of him spinning him. I guess I just had a brain fart and went in the corner too hot or he slowed more than what I thought he was going to. Anyway felt really bad about spinning him so I exited out of the race. Now I am kinda bummed about exiting out but I would prob do the same thing again. I have been on the other side and it sucks. It is all good though cause I went to a friend's house to get in their hot tub and meet their really cute neighbor. Me and her hit it off pretty good.

No problem Dan my fault tried to keep my line but drifted out sorry mate
Boy great race
was shocked to find myself up to 3rd under yellow with 12 laps to go when 12 cars pitted which caught me of guard
enough fuel and tyres to finish
but the driver was bad real bad LOL
