Awesome season
.
Can't believe how that race went down. The first half of the race was absolutely epic. I was trying so hard to run away from Carbon by pushing Dax. We got a bit of a gap, but then Carbon would come flying right back up to us.
During the pits, I came out with Dax right behind me and Carbon way ahead. We hooked up and went back to the two-car tandum drafting. It worked brilliantly. When Carbon eventually pitted, Dax and I had a comfortable lead. I was ready to settle in and battle him for the win. Then, on the end of the straight, Dax ended up in the sand. I don't think he missed his brake point, but I didn't touch him. Then I remembered the lag hit on Nel. I figured that must have been it, so I slowed down and he caught up quickly, only this time Carbon was a short distance behind him with AKMUG coming fast.
Then disaster struck. Make an absolute rookie mistake. Went in too fast, so I completely failed at trailbraking, ended up turning the car overcorrect, and deep into the sand trap.
Came out miles behind, began rage-driving, putting it into the wall, outbraking myself, generally losing time.
Next lap, I started getting a groove again. I began chipping away. Looked like I had a chance at catching Robert and Sumo. Then when I looked up ahead at the map, I saw that the battle for first was slowing down because of all the cars going for the win.
While I was looking at the map, I completely forgot that this is the 2009 track with chicanes. You can guess what happened next.
After that, all I can say is thank you Dax and Robert.
Carbon. Had a great time battling you for the series title. Every week, I couldn't possibly know whether you were going to wipe the floor with me, or if I would slip in another win. I can't believe we tied. This is actually the second time I've been tied in points for a championship.
Robert. Best teammate ever.
AHP. Thanks for joining team Corvette in the final races. The team needed your points (what are the team points, anyway?)
Dax. Great racing when you decided to grace us with your presence on the track
Had you been able to make all the races, I'm sure we'd be in a three-way race-off right now.
I would also like to thank CSL and Delta for the tips on tuning (The Corvette is not a fun car to setup)
Great season 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
