Is there a sub open for me

 

[Rich S]

I'm wondering if some F1 guys might want to substitute in some of the road courses, but for SSRX I srsly doubt were going to get any volunteers from that sector.

 

[Müle]

I think the only team owner not looking for a driver right now is me, possibly Niop.

So yeah, if you want to race, go ask Furi, Partyhat or Carb/Neljack

 

[neljack]

Is the quali race at half 5? I may be late like I was last week for the All star

Mule makes sure I am not on your block list. Because I can't get in the room you made last night.

 

[Chqr]

yawn. stuck in last with no draft. neljack leading atm.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

The wreck may have been my fault, but not sure will have to check replay

 

[Chqr]

Neljack wins!

 

[neljack]

Good race guys I owe about 95% of that win to RPH and Mustard towards the end for pushing me over the line so we werent overtaken by Owens , Smuffy as welll for pushing Mustard when RPH had to drop out 👍

 

[Adrenaline]

The wreck may have been my fault, but not sure will have to check replay

Lap 8, at the 40:52 time marker.
Watch backwards from Mustards Camera, just looks like you came down, Dragonwhisky moved to the right to avoid you, then slid a bit back up the track and you went across the nose.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

My view, from watching multiple cameras angle is, I went high then attempted to slot back in. Dragon got a bump and I simply misjudged the length of my car.
I’m happy to call it a racing incident.

 

[The Bman]

Great race. Finally back in the top 5.

I would like to apologize to Dragon as I tapped his quarter panel and sent him spinning on the last lap. I didn't mean to, I thought that I could find a way past him. More than likely, however, he would have still finished in the same position (7th) had he not wrecked.

Regarding the lap 5 incident where I nearly hit the wall next to the pits, I was focusing on the guys behind me. Both James and (I think) Frasier were behind me, and it looked like both of them were towards my right. I attempted to go over there so we could bump draft, but I ended up going towards the wall. I barely missed the wall, but then I ended up going fast into the outside wall, almost spinning my car out. It didn't really have an impact on the rest of the racers since they dodged it, so it wasn't like I caused a huge crash on the front straightaway.

 

[Müle]

Putting someone in the wall to keep them from passing you isn't something I tolerate.

Just FYI.

 

[The Bman]

I'm going to view the replay and view the lap 5 incident. I will be checking the perspectives of me, Frasier, and James, maybe another driver as well, and I will post what happened involving that incident.

 

[Rich S]

Good race guys, lots of fuel conservation going on.I had not practiced with the group we planned on driving with beforehand & so I was very suspect of the fuel lasting 8 laps at a high speed. They seemed more confident than me about it. Great composure by storm & smuffy to keep it together rather than going individualistic when we caught the main field.

Loosing party made me nervous about fuel, but we still did OK. I feel Smuffy ended up being the victim of loosing one of group members & having to move slightly slower due to that. That's one of the reasons why I think one race at SSRX per season is enough, but it is enjoyable when fuel strategy is involved.

 

[The Bman]

Alright, I watched the replay of the incidents I was involved in.

Incident #1 - Going out of turn 4, James had a run on me. He took a very low line running on the pit road entrance. That lead me to attempt to block him, as I wanted to lead the lap. However, I was unaware that I was driving right into the wall near the pit entrance, and I moved left in an attempt to miss the wall. I missed the wall, but ended up hitting James and the outside wall. Chqr and Crazy both hit me though they still kept pace.

Incident #2 - On the last lap, I was bump-drafting with Frasier. As we were approaching Dragon, I let him get into the draft. While we were entering turn 1, we scattered apart. Dragon went down low and bumped the front of my car, sending him (and me) spinning. Frasier got slowed down by the incident as well.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Lap 8, at the 40:52 time marker.
Watch backwards from Mustards Camera, just looks like you came down, Dragonwhisky moved to the right to avoid you, then slid a bit back up the track and you went across the nose.

I watched from Owens looking forward and that was what I saw.


Watched the incident with Stormtrooper and myself and stared dumbfounded as we hit the wall and Grinols ran out of gas with a lock on 5th.

And while the incident with Storm was probably avoidable, I will have to disagree that it didn't change my result. With Grinols miscalculating his fuel, I had a good shot at 5th, had that not happened. Storm may have drafted past me, but I could have done the same to him later in the lap.

It was an enjoyable race even with the incidents. 👍

My crappy luck continues but is improving somewhat.

Happy you all chose to not want pole point and Mule and Jeff were there to push me to it.

I was not involved in this incident...I was caught out by MULE exiting the pits and caught back up after you and dragon spun

 

[Müle]

I wasn't talking about any of those, stormtrooper. There was another incident reported to me that you were in that I've already looked at and made a decision on.

I forgot about that. It must have been Grinols that I was working with.

Was that when I bumped Frasier in the wall on the last lap to keep 5th?

 

[james6653]

I wish I would have pitted a few laps early.
