Great race. Congrats to the top-3.

You know I want to say that even though there is all kinds of stuff going on with ARCA, I absolutely have a blast racing it. I feel at home and more comfortable then I have ever been with a racing sim.

Qual: Qualed 9th which is around what I was expecting. I tried and tried to play around with grill tape during practice but the engine would start smoking after the first lap every time. Ended up dropping it to about 80 and hit the track for qual. It didn't start smoking until halfway through the second lap.

Race: That was a lot of fun. Managed to get into the top 5 after that first caution when a lot of people pitted. At the restart we were gone. I had a blast just hanging in the back of the lead pack. It was a lot of fun running with yall. Ended up catching a run coming off a turn and someone (not sure who it was) came up the track and I reacted and hit the wall. Didn't seem to damage the car all that much but I lost the lead pack. Drove around by myself for a while then 2 cars behind caught up and I drafted with them for a while. After the pit stop me and Tim hooked up and I just rode around behind him. Never could get close enough to you. I think cause of the slight damage I had on the right front. Still had fun though. We went to pit with about 10 to go and my shifter came off my table which ended up causing me to come into the pits to fast. Then the caution came out. On the restart I hit pit road (sorry Francesco I was trying to stay up to speed so you would not get a penalty). Ended up speeding again trying to stay caught up and got another drive thru. All and all I am very happy with a top-5. Think I could have had a good run with the leaders but oh well another day.

Really looking forward to the 400 next weekend!

lol hey atleast you have someone to grab them.

Great race guys. Conor that was amazing watching you. Very nice race.

As for my race, well started in the back and was going to try to cut Scott's tires but he got away from me too quick. I came out of the first turn and there was a car there so I made a move to miss him and well spun the thing and into the wall I went. It tore off both my wings and messed up my suspension. I tried to get back to the pits but when I picked up any kind of speed it would spin out on me. After a few times trying I finally exited out. I guess that is what I get for trying to cut Scott's tires at the start. Oh well I had a lot of fun watching.

Um well that wasn't really all that much fun. Something was wrong with my wheel all night. I had to go through and uninstall arca and reinstall to get the patch thing to work. I saved my controller file but when I put it back into the game it didn't work for some reason. Everything was messed up. I real quickly went and setup my buttons and stuff but all the other stuff was messed up. Guess I will be spending most of the day today setting things back up. Sorry if I got in anyones way. It didn't want to steer right at first and then it just got worse. At one point I was trying to pull onto pit road and the thing would not even turn left.

Thank you JR for stewarting. Guys I was trying to clear penalties fast enough but things just was not working out right for some reason.

Fun race guys. Congrats to podium. Sorry if you were on Teamspeak and had to hear my fan in the back ground. My air went out and this place gets really hot during the day. I was sweating like a pig the entire race. I felt like I was really in a car. Anyway had a lot of fun racing. I was by myself most of the race but I love running laps around Indy. I have never figured out the corners here though. About the fuel, Dan is correct. I will be posting a sticky on the chapter page but it will be in the morning. Need to go cool off.

Good race guys. I had a lot of fun watching the leaders mix it up. As for my race, well didn't qual cause I wanted to start in the back and watch everything unfold. Once the race started most of you guys were gone. Spent several laps just riding around then I went to pass someone and got lightly touch and it sent my car into the in inside wall. When I hit the wall the car did several flips in the air then landed on all four tires but the engine was completely dead. So I just sat back and watched all the good racing.

About the over heating issue, my suggestion is when you pit to keep the revs as low as possible. Reving the engine will cause it to overheat quicker. Once you get back on track the engine should cool off. A better suggestion would be to just kill the engine as soon as you hit your pit. And then once they are done fire the engine back up. Personally I have not played around with this yet because I have never set up my controls for ignition and starter. Going to do that as soon as I get a chance.

Sorry guys had to bail. I think the 200+ laps of testing for the indy series last night finally caught up to me. I had fun but after the first caution it got kinda boring and I could just picture myself falling asleep behind the wheel. Hopefully see ya at the next race.

Congrats to the Top-3.

Qual: Well qualed in the back as usual. I actually like starting in the back so it was all good.

Race: My setup was tight every time I practiced with it. I tried a few things and nothing seemed to make it better. Race starts and the thing is a tic loose. I managed to get used to it as it would tighten up over the run. Then lost it in the corner. That was the first caution. I hope I didn't get into anyone. I added some wedge during the first pit stop and that thing would take off after a few laps. It was really good on long runs. I managed to pick up some positions both on track and in the pits. Oh sorry to who ever that was that I nailed in the pits. I guess I didn't turn the wheel enough. Me and Tom had a great battle going for a long time. It seemed I was quicker coming off the corner which made me faster on the straights. He was determined not to let me by. I just kinda rode for a while hoping he would mess up but he didn't. Then I tried to push the issue a little and ended up getting into the back of him spinning him. I guess I just had a brain fart and went in the corner too hot or he slowed more than what I thought he was going to. Anyway felt really bad about spinning him so I exited out of the race. Now I am kinda bummed about exiting out but I would prob do the same thing again. I have been on the other side and it sucks. It is all good though cause I went to a friend's house to get in their hot tub and meet their really cute neighbor. Me and her hit it off pretty good.

Congrats to Joco and Johan.

Qual: I had something I had to take care of right before qual started and when I got back in qual had already started. I was just trying to lay down a time lap and stay out of the way. Ended up getting hit twice even though I was out of the way.

Race: Kinda boring but kinda fun. I had a few good laps but mostly I was alone.

Sorry to Borut Plecnik. I went into that corner too hot and tapped you. Once I saw you spin I tapped you again. I wasn't trying to hit you the second time but it looked like it help and straightened you back out.

Congrats to my teammate Michael on 5th place. Great job.
