Please, don't anyone think I'm antisocial! Minimized the game to jump on TS but kept getting error so tried to get back to the server but the game wouldn't come back up. By the time I restarted everyone was gone. Had address of 68.126.22.214 for TS3. Tried it on TS2 also with the same result. Anyway....I was glad to finally make a race and really surprised myself with my finish. Thanks Sandy, great setup for me. Congrats to the winner but I'm sorry I didn't see who it was.....don't know where I finished in class either BUT it sure was fun. See y'all at Lemans.

The race was going just about as perfect as it could. I was only 5-6 seconds behind John when he pitted, since he pitted before half way I had the fuel advange, then"Connection Lost", race over.
Congrats to the winner.

Congrats to you Tom, you were 1st in class! Glad you liked the setup. It didn't have the pace to keep up with John and Mark, but it was quite stable and served me well too. Tough luck on the disco Mark.  Apologies to Rick. I thought I had you coming out of the hairpin, but hit the gas too hard and propelled myself into your path. After that I was just a passenger until I slapped the wall and lost touch with you. Hopefully you came out of that one unscathed. Congrats on the win Scott! Did you only pit once? SandyR |

Economy run! I don't know if it was the tall gears or the low df with boost at 1 but I finished on one stop with 3 laps indicated left in the tank. I could not break 1:20 tonight no matter how I pushed but I could do alot of 1:21's. Rick would have had it if not for a end of race pit stop. Scotti was faster than I and the Capt was hanging right behind me. I don't know what happened to John with all that speed he probably had to stop twice. Fun track never a dull moment.

Got a good start. Managed thew gap to Mark at around 5 seconds. He would get under 5 seconds then I would push for half a lap and get back over 5. Car was thirsty had to stop a little early because I have no idea if what it says is true, but I know it was usin a lot of fuel even on boost 1. Came through the chicane one time and it bounced me into the SOLID tire wall. Limped to the pits, d**n crew only put a new nose on, never fixed the suspension . I drove the rest of the way sideways going straight...lol had to stop 3 laps from the end for a splash but glad to have finished. Congrats to the winners see ya at the next one and I promise to have NO DOWNFORCE this time...lol

Thanks to all for a great race. Good suggestion from Bob and the guys that tested and recommended it. I don't know what it is about the NTP but I could not get that thing to turn quick enough in that hairpin. I would loose at least a second a lap just in that turn. I knew I had a decent car when I got in behind Dale after his stop and I was able to stay with him for about 3 laps until I had one of many brain farts tonight. Congrats to Scott and Tom on their wins.

What was the finishing order from last nights race?
I'm trying to figure out how many points I'm down from Sandy after my first disco in years.

I finished 2nd Mark. I think we have 2 races left(?) so you still have a chance to catch me.

Pretty good result, I qualified 11th on the grid, and on the green I blew past Tom I think, few laps later he got me down to the first turn, and I couldn't keep up.
I pitted with a projected 6 laps left in the tank, thinking I could cut past the traffic when they come in for gas, I got that wrong as I had to pit with two laps to go to get five laps more into to the tank, and finished 7th.
Not bad, I was happy with the result even though I had to make another quick stop, soft tyres lasted green to the end wasn't sure with the heat they were building in the first stint.
