Ah well, just disco stu'ed after a restart  good luck everyone. I brought out the first caution when I felt the tires start to go and went one lap further, biiiiig mistake. Tires totally lost it and into the wall I went, after repairs came back out in hopes of inching my way back up the standings but a disco did me in but it did look like the next car was far enough back not to get thrown by the disappearing act. Thanks Lug for the great setup and of course Doug & SimHQ for another fun event.

I did the same thing David...went one lap too many on my tires. If you hadn't gone around, I'm pretty sure I would have...because I did right when the caution came out...lol.
Fun, but terrorizing race. That pesky pit entrance is killer.

Relatively smooth race for me. Had my personal struggle with the setup (couldn't load the base one, I learned how to do it just 5 minutes before the race, wasn't brave enough to switch before the race). My setup was a bit slower, so I stayed out of the furball in front. Always went for pits before the turn, managed to bring home the car in one piece.  Really enjoyed it, but I still need some learning about oval racing. Thanks to everyone involved and especially Doug for organising it.

The race went better than I expected. I spent most of it just trying to manage my tires, not locking it down on the bottom line and giving people room to run.
For the most part I was just waiting for the last ten laps to make something happen...I stopped with about 26 remaining knowing I could make it on fuel and would just have to manage my tires...didn't get the chance to go for it though. By the time I got up to 2nd behind Birdski, Stewart was in between us and waiting for everyone else to stop, and I couldn't get around him. Then when we had that last yellow with a single green lap to finish the race I didn't nail the restart and that was it. Dunno what brought out that last caution.
Good race overall though.

That would be fun. I've never done a road course with these.
