Good fun scrapping w/ Barry & Tim (once he quit running himself off the road ) in Race 1.

Had to leave for Race 2. I was hungry & still had to get ready for the work week.

Cheers.

Congrats to the winners and podium finishers.

Well after having a week to work on my PC and wheel setup I pretty much have it all working again. Found out that the current Logitech driver profiler download doesn't support the G25/27 wheel( My problem last week). I still had the disc that came with my wheel, loaded that and then was able to set it up. It's not the same as before but think it's actually working right and better.

Qualy I couldn't get my times of last year but good for 3rd on grid.

Race one: Got a good start and was hoping to keep up with Tom and Brandon, we stayed together for awhile. But I was making little unforced errors loosing ground to the two of them in there own battle. So that was the rest of the race for me, in third with Hutty gaining ground on me and me loosing ground to the front.

Race two: After the actual non-restarted start I was able to get into 2nd behind Max exiting turn one. Going into the hairpin turn 5 Max maybe braked early, not sure but came out in the lead. From there just tried to not make mistakes, worked for awhile. Seen that Brandon had moved into 2nd so really needed to not make error's, ya sure that didn't work out. I was doing ok keeping Brandon behind me by .5 to 1 second but some minor errors and was feeling the pressure. With a few laps to go I got too hot into turn 13 sliding off track then back on, Brandon went by and I looped it off the other side of the track, getting back on in front of Tom. So next lap he drafted by me putting me 3rd and I couldn't make up any ground to Tom.

I enjoyed this track more than I thought I would. The racing was good when i wasn't in the rhubarb. There was one corner in particular that kept biting me in the ass. Turn number 6. Constantly misjudging it.

Had fun though. Got sideways at one point, right in the middle of the road. Caused some dismay, but didn't ruin anyone's race i don't think.

See you next week.
