Rattlensake Point Saleen

nice and hard race whit sanio alfa. fight all the race.

et merci dennis pour le setup ,je pensais pas faire une aussi belle course avec si peu d'entrainement.

PC froze up on me just after loosing ffb then wouldn't restart, darn electronic's..

After running the Grand Am and the 60's F3 races earlier, it took me nearly half the race to get used to the sound of the low revving V8 when combined with the fact that there were only 5 gears available.

Accidentally grabbed 1st several times in awkward situations and i know that caused some issues with those unfortunate enough to be behind me at the time. Very sorry for that, i'll do better next time.

Had a great deal of fun in the early half of the race, making my way up to 10th eventually, but then i realized i had made a very silly mistake while calculating my fuel requirement and had to pit for more.

See you at Sebring...

So glad to see the Saleens come back! I Love these Cars!

Anyways this was my first time at this track and i liked it was a very fun track! plenty of places to pass, it really made for good racing.

I ran a good Qualifying session but i was very distracted by Spain scoring in the Championship game :)

In the race i had a shaky first lap after having a great launch off the start i got squirly in T1 with some cars then on turn 3 (at the bottom of the hill) i was on the berm and spun and got hit on the Right door and on the front end. That really effected my car on the straights and under braking (especially while behind another car) After I got into a smooth pace i started to get positions back then i Got into Rich which was just a lack of braking ability i simply ran into you Rich really sorry about that man :(

After getting used to the damage i Got into a faster pace and had a good long run with Dave Webb. I Am pretty happy to come home 8th it seems like alot of people had trouble in the race and that sucks :(

But i cant wait till Sebring next week that track is really fun! Congrats Alex on your close win!

Cya all next Race!

I entered this race with a fever of 39 degrees, had a good setting for Qualy and race, perhaps the best time, but as always I do not do well in Qualy because I can not do clean laps, there's always traffic, can not get out fast pit time to get out among the first in the qualifying lap. I left in the race in fourth and moved to third and had been seeking since the second when I realized that my engine was falling too fast performance, took the foot off the accelerator and started walking slower per lap, I lost one or two positions when after twenty-five minutes my engine was gone, did not understand anything.

Let's go next.

Just got to watch the reply back last evening. My race was lonely but up front it looked nip and tuck all the way!

The opening lap, particularly the first few corners consisted of a lot of excursions and incidents for the mid field. I was quite happy with how I managed to thread my way through unscathed and run in 18th for a brief period.

Sadly, I was bumped off at a later corner on that first lap. Hmmm, not very pleased. I was wide and turned in to what I considered to be my corner. I was contacted in my left rear quarter and as the rear stepped left, I was contacted again and spun out.

Watching the replay to see what happened, I guess I could have closed the door safely earlier as I approached the actual corner and this would have mitigated against this particular incident. My take away is experience and let's see how as handle this situation when it surely occurs in the future!

I needed to wait for the field to clear and I was basically back where I had started from.

What was clear already was I did not have the speed for the straights compared to others and I was generally being left behind. It meant that the remainder of my race was quite lonely running but I did still have some fun and complete the race without much further incident.

I did struggle to setup this car but found the track really good fun to drive.
