Niagara's Weekly "What I Saw" Column
241222 Edition
We only had 7 drivers in D1. Sometimes that feels a little too light but I was never without somebody to race with. Looks like D2 had a decent size grid of 10 drivers.
Combo #1:
Here's our grid group shot. I voted this combo out at the end of the night but only for strategic reasons and with the understanding that with our current rules, this car was going to be a 1-N-Done. But it was my favorite combo of the night.
We've seen @Kgffy go after the deferred maintenance / rust-bucket / barn find, look before and he always a good look sporting it. I know he's abusing his tires in this picture but it looks like he's blown his engine or seriously burning oil if the smoke was a little darker.
Combo #2:
We've got @Worst_Driver , @Nicktune , @bublyman , @Buffalo_DRD and @hurbinator captured in this photo. Essentially a group shot of the Francophones currently in D1.
Chaos-Corner. I think everybody had at least one mistake here. The corner just kinda snuck up on you real quick and you better have your car relatively straight before hammering on the brakes.
@Kgffy shredding his tires again and providing another smoke show.
My fun in Combo #2 came with a lengthy battle with @hurbinator .
Combo #3:
I've been hoping for this Radical to go away for a few weeks now. But I acknowledge it provides for some decent racing.
I also take the time to offer my congrats to @Worst_Driver on his perfect night. He owes a of it on coming out on top of an epic battle with @bublyman in C3R1. It's actually worth it for you folks to go and check out. They've exchanged positions a few times but for the most part, @Worst_Driver was on @bublyman 's tail for several laps. @bublyman touched a little grass exiting T4 on the last lap that might have given @Worst_Driver an opening but he managed to retain his lead. In fact, @Worst_Driver only managed to pass @bublyman about 20 meters from the finish line to win by 0.080 seconds if memory serves me correctly.
And towards the back of the grid, I really enjoyed myself with @Dragonwhisky and @Kgffy . We each took turns leading our 3 car battle and each would make small errors coming out of Turn 4 which would allow for some white knuckle passing going through the esses. In this sequence, I had a great view of a beautiful pass executed by @Kgffy on @Dragonwhisky on Lapp #11.
That's how I saw the races last Sunday.
I also wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (Bonne et heureuse année) to all Snails and their families.
