Incredibly intense and difficult, still a lot of fun. I got there early trying to dial my car in. I could not complete a lap for the first 20 minutes of practice. I eventually removed the super charger and went with the mid range  turbo which helped stop the tires spinning in 6rd gear. It was still an unstable mess though.

Sorry to split so soon after the race. I actually wanted to discuss everyone's rain horror stories, but I started getting a pretty severe headache around lap 24.

Also, bumper cam does not display how hard it's raining. I changed views to in car and saw why so slidey. And was it just me or after these tires were slightly worn (one eighth) they lost whatever grip they had?

Good Times

Rough race for once I can say I was happy for a small turnout. I didn't want to be too near anyone at any point.

Way to go Fried and Chrome you guys were hooked up. I managed to hang with Baked and nosoks for awhile, but continued my off track excursions so I eventually lost them too.

It was a very fun series, thanks for hosting it Baked.

Congrats Dude on a very consistent series. You are the man at tire conservation, and running steady.

Last night's race was a blast, and should make for a very tight finish in the points.

Thank you all very much for the fun races.  :)

Thanks for putting this on Baked.  :bow   Good times, every race.

Congrats to Dude on the overall win!  Consistent is key and you have that figured out.   :)

Great stuff last night.  Even got a war wound from last night's racing.  Was rushing back from a van supply pickup while everyone was patient enough to wait 5 mins for me to show.  A quick  8) during the countdown and we were off.  Had a false start :( and had to work to catch back up to field.  Made it to the leaders and took the lead from Chrome around lap 4 or 5.  Was slowly padding a lead, until I start thinking... Did I lock my fucking car? (real life car).  On lap 8, I decided to run to the window while on the front stretch and clicked the lock button on my remote.  Knowing the straight was ending fast, I start running back to the couch and in the process slammed my shin against the coffee table.   :o That hurt like hell.  Had blood start dripping down my leg and a big ass egg starts to grow.  Needless to say, I missed T1 and about the next 3-4 turns (ask Chrome, he'll tell you).   

After that, Chrome and I raced back and forth for the rest of the race.  Close all the way to the flag.  Only .034 separated us.

Brindle, you were a lot busier during that race, than I could've imagined.

I know, I read that as he set the controller down went to the store for some cheetos, stopped at the van, fell and hurt himself, went to the hospital got sewn up, stopped at the van and then hopped back onto the couch!

Indeed busy LOL!
