Thanks for my welcome to Race2Play initiation. Sure didn't need the rain though. I qualified 8th and finished 10th, so the result was probably what it should have been.
Congrats to everyone. Great job Ryan. No offs for 40 laps. That's impressive.
Hope I didn't hold anyone up when I was being passed. I tried to find a spot to let people by and flashed my lights when I could.
I have never run a race in the rain and it showed. I didn't know what to do when I saw rain after qualifying. I jumped into the garage and switched to Hard Rain tires. I also increased my rev limiter, because I figured fuel would no longer be an issue. It wasn't but I had bigger issues.
Unfortunately, since I never bothered to test rain tires, I didn't reallize my 200kpa setup would turn into a burning hot 225kpa setup. I spun on the 1st turn of the race and dropped from 8th to 20th in about 10 seconds. Nice start.
Struggled through the next 5 laps and said, "screw it" and pitted to switch to intermediates. I figured since I couldn't adjust tire pressures, they might work. There went my "no pit stop" strategy. Like Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face!" LOL.
It turns out they worked ok. I ran 1:31/32's when I ran clean laps.
See everyone at the next race. Fun stuff. Pray for sun!
