Charlotte Motor Speedway MX5

How did that happen.....I did not start ,in fact I with drew

Mixed bag last night for me.
Qualified very well by my standards (6th).
First apologies to Daniel, I believe, for the contact in T2 of the first lap. I didn't realize you were there and the spotter was late saying "Stay right". I'm afraid I pinched you down into the wall.
Lost a few spots but had a great race later with Paulo which lasted for a few laps. Sorry to see you hit the wall in T1, Paulo, but I closely observed your driving line so I was able to duplicate the move a few laps later. Thanks for the lesson:)
Two pit stops for repairs and I came out behind Andrew and diced with him for a lap or so and thought I might be able to draft by on the last lap but missed a shift going onto the oval and watched Andrew drive off into the sunset.
Not a great night, but the good battles still made it fun.

Wow. I dont agree with the finish, but I'll take it. ;)

Seriously, I finished 10th, I believe. Way more than 6 laps and I was lapped twice by the winner.

So, thanks for the podium, but I dont deserve it.

Great race. This was actually my first time finishing a race at Charlotte Road course. Seems like every race I do there, I never finish. You guy broke my streak. :)

My apologies to Jim E for the bump in turn 3 at the first of race. No where to go.

Something wonky with the results.

Grats to Eduardo and the podiums. Well done, lads.

Not my fav track. Can't seem to figure out the infield. Would have more fun on a rollercoaster last night :)

Sorry to whomever I bumped in T3 (white car). Didn't see you there and pinched the apex. Sorry to see Jim E. take a hit from my mistake and ruining his race.
But good fun with Ralph the latter stages of the race. Swapped positions a couple of times. And as always, good and clean battle.
@Ralph: I was wondering why you slowed down coming onto the oval on the last lap.

On to the next one!!

Results are being worked on. They will be re-posted later today or tomorrow. Todd & Tim are working on it. It think it may have had something to do with the first server not working and then switching to the alternate one.

Congrats to Mr Prado for the streak of 5 wins in a row!

Ron; Did you read the pre-race post?

Was a wild race for sure. Had a great duel with Rick throughout the race. With the draft that takes place here, we traded positions a couple of times and I knew that whoever was behind one the last lap, would take that position away at the finish line. So I just kept him in my sights until I made my move on the last lap. Rick came back but I held my line low and even with a little nudge at the end, I wound up 3rd.

Next season we will have a private qualifying session due to the drafting here. I think that the draft thing is built into the track, and not the car because we couldn’t draft down the long straight at Summit Point.

See you all at the final race at Okayama!

Nice fun race. Sadly I went off track when I was trailing Charlie in the opening laps... I seemed to be lapping about the same but without someone to draft, laps get longer & longer. Managed to stay error-free after that & had some consistent laps along with several personal bests. I'm really starting to enjoy the MX-5. Great racing guys - thanks Charlie!

Sorry guys, the race result file only shows 5 laps completed. Hopefully the result is correct. We had to manually enter in much of the data as the CSV file was clearly corrupt.

Sorry about the confusion too. Yes, those are the correct results.
