May not make tonight's race, feeling a bit burnt out with racing. I'm taking the rest of the week away from it to recharge.

Yeah, no wonder you're burnt out.

There are people who obviously did a lot more than me, but I tried 2 practice sessions last night and just couldn't get my head into it.
May try some painting or a bit of Euro truck sim.

I agree. If you are getting burned out take a break and enjoy a few night. See you next week Pete.

I'm going to have to edit some cussing out of my capture. Keeping an eye on Nigel behind me and caught a bit much curb while getting back on the throttle. Hello wall.... Had a pretty good race going too.
I like Pete's idea. Maybe I'll run some Euro Truck instead of the Americas this week.

 Nice racing guys, there is the podium. I had a good start, followed Micheal for a bit, then Tony got by. I settled in and pounded out the laps till my pit stop. I managed to gain back my time to Tony after my pit stop and was surprised to see that I beat Nigel out as well. I made a small mistake when Nigel caught me and he got by without too much trouble. Then with about 3 or 4 too go Tony spun in the same spot I almost did but he wasn't as lucky. He got it going again but gave up the spot to me. Thank you all for a nice race, it seemed like everyone was concentrating on their race and not chatting too much, not that there was a race I can remember where people chatted too much  Glad this race is over with, not my favorite track I have to admit but was glad to bring home a podium finish. |

Results: members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=12960765&custid=111813Glad that race is over. What a tough track with this car. My right elbow was actually sore at the end of the race. I accomplished my 3 goals for the race though. Finished in the top 10 on the lead lap with zero incidents. I like math and numbers so I did some calculations. I wanted to see what my CPI (Corners Per Incident) is so far, and I also decided to calculate the CPI for the whole league as well. Here are the results. As a league, we have run a total of 5756 laps and 75,643 corners. During that time there have been a total of 2041 incidents. That gives the league a CPI of 37.06. The best track so far has been Bathurst with a CPI of 133.9 and the worst was Road America with a CPI of 24.0. My personal numbers are 312 laps run for 4121 corners with a total of 5 incidents. That gives me a CPI of 824.2. My best tracks have been Summit Point, Road America, Oulton Park, Bathurst and Sonoma with zero incidents. My worst track was Oran park with 3 incidents and a CPI of 208. According to some SR charts I found, the league as a whole would not be able to maintain an A license. At best it would be is a B 2.50 or possibly a C 3.20. That would still be fine to race in the official series though. If anybody would like me to calculate their personal CPI, let me know. It can get boring at work sometimes. |

Someone tried to make am outside pass on the front straight. Left him too much room and myself too little. Clipped the wall, got major toe damage, and spin into a wall, half blowing my engine.
Limped the whole lap. And the engine went fully blown as soon as I entered pit lane. Coasted to my box. Did my 4 tire stop 10 minutes in. Drove like a madman to work my way back up to 11th. Not bad.
