Remember Rankin?

Heads up from listener Jason Bosse:

Remember the kid that was doing post race commentary for his mx5 races, racing the top irating guys of iracing? He finished p2 i think in the iracing skip barber series, awarding him 5 races. not sure id he got the money to do the full season but first race was last week. they join him here p2 in the race…. https://youtu.be/LcApXkgpVzY

that feed sucked.They only showed a portion of race 1. Elvis Rankin started pole and finished p3 in race one so starting p3 in race 2.https://youtu.be/K5ozMG8dqOQ?t=4m30s

Immsource Vs (Almost) Everything

The Ford brothers at Boosted Media compare Immsource vs individual proprietary software for your wheel base fidelity

Even though torque levels are the same as others you dont get the driving details that you get in for example dd1… It feels smoother than a dd1, but you lose a lot of detail…

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: Gateway

  • Ellis –   p6 – finally a good race – was running third most of the night – as high as second. One of the final restarts i came up through the gears drifted a hair to the right and hit the guy next to me causing a big wreck. Was back as far as 14th and damaged but enough other attrition got me to 7th – we had a natural gwc, then 4 gwc’s yes 4 – then once it was over checker it continued to say pacing so i kept doing laps and it gave me one more spot – 
  • Hall – P22. tough top split.  Got early damage avoiding the wreck but found the inside wall.  But I was really mostly racing around the guys I usually race.
  • Sunday Open

Rochette-Pself walled first time racing gateway in years just couldn’t find a groove. Gassed it alittle too much out of T2 with 16 to go destroyed the car. Flat tracks hate me

Race : Sonoma

  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p. Dumped by a leader, same guy turned me last week.  Apology or not, he’s on the list
  • Thurs Open  
    • David – p wrecked my self out

Fri open: Sonoma

  • Hall – P24, slow, but survived finally
  • Greg – P4 Uneventful Race
  • Tony – p19 wrecked top of the hill lap 1 lost ton of time and just couldnt gain any spots. On the plus side that was my only off track in the winey sandy hills of Lame-noma


Official Series




League / Hosted Races

  • FastTrack League –
