Yep that was me my last race.... banghead

I'm usually caught up in someone else's mess, but this time it was me. Started 3rd at Richmond and didn't survive turn one.

Don't feel bad... I captured the pole position, came around for the green flag in 2nd gear, mis-shift (something I've never done in oval racing before), instead of going to 3rd went to 1st gear... blew my engine and took out every single racer, lol... I felt so bad I apologized both in games (as I was getting cussed out) and again in the forum... only good thing was it was a "fun" event during week 13... so no hits on anyones SR... if it would have been, I may have never came back. wink

1 year ago I started iRacing and jumped into the Cup car fun race at Daytona. I started in the pits. After coming out of the pits I immediately pulled out onto the track right into traffic and caused a huge wreck. Was cussed and turned in.

Here's what I don't get...

I've been having computer problems and I registered for a race, but when trying to enter, I get a blue screen...reboot, can't get in due to another blue screen, so I lose 96 points on my iRating.

Now I don't really care about iRating but I still don't think that is right.
