Apologies to my partner scorp and to all the guys who got damage when I spun out in the first race Thursday. I just couldn't concentrate, the muscle relaxers I was on for my back had me all spaced out, I really shouldn't have been racing, it wasn't fair to the rest of you.

After that spin on lap 4, I had major damage and there was nothing to do but slowly make it to the pit, after that I had the bright idea that I'd just run the last 12 laps without pitting:rolleyes:. I was ok for about 10 laps, but then my tires were shot and all I could do was watch the cars go by me, at least I didn't wreck any of them. :) By the second race, I was so zoned out that it was all I could do to get a lap in without spinning out.

Let this be a lesson to you kids out there..... don't do drugs when you race:tdown:
 
Tsukuba should be interesting with damage. Such a tight track. Passing is going to be extremely hard as a bit of door banging will result in some serious mechanical issues. Not saying we need to drive dirty. But normally a bit of touching happens on the tighter tracks.

I agree.
 
I'll be on at 2:30pm EST on Sunday if anyone wants to run sprints at Tsukuba.

I should be able to make it. We ran some sprints last night-got pretty familiar with the pit entrance (and bodyshop).
 
Talledegga!!!!! Boogity Boogity Boogity!!!!!

Fun sprints last night. Racing smart and not crashing or hitting another driver is going to be key. An early pit for damage will put you half a lap down if not more.
 
So who now knows they can throw their strategies and race theories and or conspiracies out the window. Watch the start of round 1. Lesson learned.

So who all is in the 53's for Tsukuba?

53's????? I hope not. It took everything I had just to get in the 54's. All I'm gonna concern myself with this race is avoiding damage.

Sorry for the bad news......

You lost me here. Change the game how?

Heavy damage. It was a nice clean start. The replay looked pretty cool with all the cars moving trough the first few turns nose to tail stacked up.

Tsukuba should look even cooler. There should be battles going on in the entire field. I fully expect a stacked field for the majority of the race. Pole will be crucial.
 
JT, are we doing 24 or 26 laps?

Yep, should be a tight one. I'll feel better after working on a particular spot. This is a fun track to hot lap in a race car. Racing tight, we'll see. Been hitting best laps @54.4xx in early runs. Mostly 55's. Not sure there's much more for me.
