I started this race with the hopes of a finish around 15th or better. You'd think that I would have learned by now to not be so optimistic...

I started at the back, as is my custom. I was in a solid 20th place by the time my old nemesis, the pit stop sequence, arrived. I spent an extra lap out on the track before the pit stop, with the thought that everyone else would be done and gone. Not so. There were two cars ahead of me, and the lead car was going the pit speed limit way, way before he needed to.

A note: you might want to run the track online, or with full rules, prior to the race and learn where the pit speed limit is enforced. It could save you some track position.

Anyway, I hit the designated speed limiter button on my Momo some even number of times, thus turning it on, and ultimately...turning it off. I was caught speeding on pit road, and had to serve a 10 second stop-and-go penalty. I finally came out of the pit sequence and the extra-curricular activities in 25th or so.

I made my way up to James and Jason as they were battling. I ended up hitting James after he and Jason got together. Sorry about that James. I really don't like to hit someone, but there was nowhere for me to go. I was able to make it by both of them after the contact, and ended up finishing 21st.
