Post Race Report and Scoring
Event #2 at Watkins Glen Long Course
Watkins Glen served up some amazing battles across both races once the nerves settled down after a few incidents. Qualifying saw a very tight grouping of times with less than a second difference from pole to 14th place....less than 0.5 sec across the top 8. This seeemed to set up the battles in both races.
Race 1 started on the sloppy side with an opening Turn 1 incident that resulted in a caution, followed immediately by a Race director's discretionary caution as we went be to green. Once we re-grouped and went back to green for a second time, everyone settled into some good tough racing. I started 9th and fell to 13th on the caution, but once we went back to steady green, I went to work. With drivers battling in front of me, this allowed me to close in an go on the attack....as many will agree, the right hander after the bus stop was my "kill zone", taking at least 3 positions from 3 different drivers in this corner. By the time Race 1 was finished, I managed to make it up a very respectable and hard earned 7th place.
Race 2 got underway a bit more cleanly, but ran into trouble later in the race that intiated a caution. After clearing a few positions later in the race, I found myself behind my teammate
@Chris Kelley /Warmachine. I tried every way possible to close for an attack, but did have to be careful with a fast approaching
@Buffalo_DRD /DRD_Niagara getting closer and closer. This ended in 4th place finish in race 2 and a 4th place overall on the event. Anyway, those were my races with many more battles and details left to be explained. Race broadcasts will be available for viewing, but you can view the actual replays through the search tag: snailgt3cup. Feel free to elaborate on any battle/exchanges you may have shared.
Despite some notably aggressive incidents, overall it was a great night of racing for most of us.
Isolated and minimal lag/jittering was present across the field, but was overall manageable.
Now for Scoring:
Congratulations to @Buffalo_DRD /DRD_Niagara on the Overall Win on the night. With 4th and 5th place finishes across the event night, this was a testament that just outright wnning is not the only possible way to earn an overall win on the night, but that consistency is what can afford anyone the possiblity...Well Done 
Also, Congratulations to our Top 3 Overall:
1st:
@Buffalo_DRD /DRD_Niagara
