Hi all---
My departure today was due to either a bug or an error----my pitcrew (yes, I alerted them, etc.) didn't provide service. I think they went on strike or something-----stopped in pitspace, and ...... nothing.
This was very disappointing, as Paul and I were having a wing-ding of a battle with our respective P1s; good racing and good fun. Well, next time, I guess. Hope others had better results!

Really sorry to hear that, Terry. Nothing's worse than to have a good race screwed up by some random glitch.

I wondered what happened Terry. I thought it was strange that you mentioned that in practice about not seeing the guys. Didn't think it would translate to the race. I know Jean Pierre runs an Epsilon so I figure it wouldn't be a car issue. Just strange.....
Well for me it was nice to finally run a somewhat consistent race. I'd get motivated to follow the top two or three when I got lapped to see where I losing time. I could stay with Paul about 75% of the track but I realize why I was losing time at the rest. He was able to get in the gas a lot sooner than me. And YES, I AM NOT RUNNING TC. So I may have to change that....ROFL....So look out. Happy with my 3rd in-class. ;D

Red Weasel Racing Weasel Wench Report......
Believe or not I participated in the ILMS Endurance race at this venue. This track is one which I enjoy very much but was quite a different race using this mods Porsche Spyder. I kept finding myself spinning like a top at the top of the hill after completing the "s" turns...no matter what I did to gingerly throttle the gas pedal. Oh well.....just the slight difference in mods I suppose.
I quite enjoyed the race otherwise and hats off to the podium finishers. You all had a great race.
Off to load my hauler with the Porsche (Head Weasel's is already at the next venue since he was off at the super secret Weasel test facility in NV for this race).
Until next time........Susan....Weasel Wench

Ced---
It was my mistake in practice---all previous versions of RA that I raced in other sims had the pits on the LEFT exit...
However, in the race, I took the correct entry, was relieved to see my crew awaiting me, and pulled in.....to nothing. I'm baffled still, and sure would have liked to see how the race would have finished had I been able to continue---I like this Pew-Joe! Ah, well....next race with the MOMO paint that Bob so generously did.

Susan -- use a little more ride height at the rear. If you bottom out the suspension on these cars you *will* loop it. When I did that, my problem of looping at the exit to the Esses stopped.

Terry -- did the pit clock start the way it usually does but just nothing happened? If this error happens every time, I probably need to report it to Mike so the folks at ERL can check into it.

Paul--
Worse than that, actually---the pit clock window never came up! I tried backing up in case I missed it, hitting the mark again, etc......Nothing.

That happened to me once in VOR, which also uses the ILMS mod. Never seen it happen with any other mod, though. I'll pass the word along to Mike and hopefully we can prevent anyone elses race from being ruined.

Terry,
That's like the A.J. Foyt 50cent Spark Plug incident. Things that just shouldn't happen.
