Another week ended with the Fugu Z. Spent most of the week racing in A from the back, because the car is a hoot! DR climbed all week, but SR took a hit early, and was a challenge. The new penalty system is rewarding bad behavior. Had one race end with me running 2nd and closing on the last lap, and a non-driver in 3rd, who had been knocking me around earlier, took me out and into the wall at the hairpin and he got a 1 second penalty for it (finally!) I caught him going up the hill since he caught the dirt on exit, and was going to try to pass either in the downhill right, or undercut the final left. He was all over, blocking and brake checking onto the straight. I managed to avoid the penalty then, got to his outside on the run to the finish, and he knocked me sideways and into the wall. I finished in a spin, with a 2 second penalty, which dropped me from 2nd to 5th. No additional penalty for him. Typical...
I did end the week with a no Q run from 11th for the win, 4 seconds clear of the only A driver in the field. Got a little help early on L2 when the guy behind me tried to spear me at T3 and came back on to tangle up everyone from 3rd on back. Ran down 1st on the climb up the hill at the end of L2 and did a low 17 on the final lap for the win. First win from the back in a while. Gotta try to climb back from SR-A this week somehow.
