Well I hope the race went off without a glitch. I seemed to have been suffering from some lag. Got dumped right before the race started. Oh well, that's been my season so far  . Look out in round 2 LOL. |

Man my layoff sure showed. I was all over the place. Missing braking points bumping into people and on and on.
Hope I didn't piss anyone off. I tried to let the fast drivers through but sometimes I just managed to get in their way.
Loved the track but it was a tough track to pass on .
Everyone was very courteous. So I enjoyed myself. Crap, I still can't quite catch up to James.

;D This mod is a blast to drive. I had a stroke of luck that caused me to practice allot. I got a 58 inch Panasonic plasma TV from sears for $107.05. Just great timing and sears bad luck. It was supposed to be $1000.99 but got marked on-line for pick up at the store for 100.99. The old 56 inch dlp got hooked to my gaming computer. Racing that big is really immerse I almost fell out my chair leaning into the turns.
I had a great race got a good start with Rick and Scotti fighting for the first turn. From the replay those 2 had a race long battle. I know Ricks sore back was twanging. While they raced I got away. Rick picked up 17 seconds in the pits. I am firing my pit crew. I want Ricks. After the stop It was me Rick and Scotti again. Once again they started racing and I slipped away. Sorry to any P1 drivers I held up "Leadsled". I was trying to get away form Rick and Scotti. Great fun see you all next time.

Congrats to Mark and Scott for their class wins  As Scott mentioned my back was killing me ,it is a nerve condition called sciatica,man it frickin hurts down my left leg making my foot numb which was my braking foot. I could barely sit for 5 mins, let alone for an hour  I was going to just cancel, but I doped up on ibuprofen and a thermacare heat wrap and tried to tuff it out. I just could not concentrate between the pain and the numbness to give a good fight and brake properly, and let some drivers go as I just wanted to finish. Thanks to those who gave room, it was very much appreciated ;D Cya in a couple weeks as it will be my last race in P2 as I make the move to P1................ |

Red Weasel Racing Reports
Not a lot to say, I found myself angry most of the race. I had the car set with MAX down force and it was still got light at speed causing both Weasels to drive gingerly.
Turn 1, Lap 1 damage from being rear ended, (this has more and more become what I expect since the finial of last season) caused me to be seconds off my pace, took a few laps to adjust my timing. But the bite in the butt was when I forgot to turn off repair damage when I pitted, I believe that cost me a podium finish (or at least just off from a step).
Miss Susan had her hands full as well, car just gets loopy when light and as stated; even with MAX down force it is always light.
Nice to have Bob back on track with us, and I wanted to mention his late race charge to run me down. I really thought my bent and damaged Porsche was going to let me down, but it hung in there for a Class P6 finish, partly because of my over zealous attempt to take GP on his PIT OUT lap. And what happened? Backend spun out from behind me in the first right hander and I had to re-fire the engine to get under way, in the mean time I became a bright white and yellow pylon. I noticed the Local Yellow Flags didn’t work. Ced, can we turn those on, it might help drivers know there is an issue up ahead.
Well there you have it.
Until next time, when the Weasel fans gather in turn one to grab some car parts as souvenirs.
James
Head Weasel

Hi all--
Congrats to Mark on his runaway victory; I couldn't seem to find the speed to compete! Fun course, and lots of very polite P2s allowing passes.
MAJOR apology to Susan; going into turn 1, I locked up my fronts and rammed her. Completely unintentional, and she was innocently going along when I blew it. Very sorry, Susan.
I'll miss the 19th due to some music commitments, but looking forward to more events in the new year!

I really wanted to race at this one, but with the track being a slippery one, and only having a car I setup in 20 minutes of practice at the track, I wasn't going to risk anyone elses race, with a possible slower car, or a mishap by myself involving others.
I'll be at the final race for sure though.

Same here... my kiddo through a fit in the evening over something, and we were unable to get everything settled down in time. I think I hit the server right when it clicked to the race session (but before the race started) as I connected, but was then immediately hit with a message saying not connected in time to race. Bummer.
I'll be interested to see the times to see how far off I was in my praccy laps.
Wish me better family luck for the next one!
