Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – NiS – Echo Park Speedway
- Mike- P wrecked out was just biting my time running around seventh and a guy in front of me to spawn on his own and took out the whole field four minutes damage I didn’t have the heart to finish
Wednesday Open -NiS – North Wilkesboro
- Mike- P started 23rd moved up to the top 10 pretty quick but then got destroyed on a restart and eight minutes damaged DNF
- Chris – P7. The outside line had speed and I could drive my way up. Took a few bumps to give me 16X. I said “Screw it, go for it”. We ended with a 50 lap green run and I drove it home P7. Thank You to Sim Wraps for the Wrangler Themed paint.
- David – P
- Brad- P31 Started p8 and went right up into the top 5. While we did have a bunch of cautions there was some good racing up front. I would stay at the front till just past lap 100 when I decided to take tires. That had me back in traffic and man was it frustrating. I was trying to take my time to get back to the front and made a mistake. When picking up the throttle coming off of turn two the car got loose and I tried to correct and it snapped to the right and killed the right front. I had no steering and then went and killed the left front. Glad that I did not collect anyone else or bring out a caution. The set from Premier is super fast, just the nut behind the wheel made a mistake.
Official Series
Classic Lotus Grand Prix
- Mike– P in the rain at the green hell starting 14th out of 17th. The race starts they pile up in front of me. I have nowhere to go. I’m destroyed before I even get to the start line.
- Then started first, but it was dry, but I quickly fell the fifth because I am not fast compared to these other guys round lap two out of six. I screwed up and wrecked into the wall DNF.
Ring Meister
- Mike – P it’s the Dalarra IL 15 formula car. Started fifth quickly got the third but got dumped from behind in the first breaking zone DNF.
- Started 14th got the second by the end of lap one I had a slow spin by myself. I recovered the third and then brought it home winner winner, chicken dinner we will take it. Career win number 158 BB
League / Hosted Races
Grass Roots Racing
GTP/GT3 League – Imola Sprint Race
- Brad W – P14 I threw away a p6 finish because I just suck at picking up off tracks here. This reminds me of the old Spa when it first came out. The limits are really tight and I was over driving the car trying to stay at the front. Hit the track limits and had a drive through coming to the white flag. Not in it for ints this season but just hate throwing away a good finish.
