That was a tough race!
Was able to put down consistent low 1.23s the whole week however come race day I stiffen up too much and make too many mistakes!

Had some great battles though! With Harry in the first race and Niagra in the second :)

Looking forward to panroma!

That was good fun chasing you in the 2nd race. Took many laps and full concentration to reel you in close.

Great stuff…

Wow, took the words right out of my mouth…..did fine in practice races but race night was a totally different story.
I apologize to anyone who was affected by my terrible performance and driving!!!
 
Yard sale at the Corkscrew.

That incident at the corkscrew is a good example of why everyone should be aware of the caution calling process.

I would have bet the farm that there would have been a caution in each race, and I would have expected it to happen early.

Someone had called for caution. I wanted to be the second as I was the one who was sideways (lol). However I had joined the voice chat on my phone and didn’t want to fumble to take the phone out and unmute mid race. I was worried that I’d worsen my condition, but looking back I should’ve done it

I did see caution typed in the chat, and then I heard someone who must have had their mic on by mistake say something like “there’s no caution”. Another good example of why everyone should be sure that their mic is off.

It was confusing to me at the moment but I kept on racing. Don’t stop until you hear NOVA say yellow or caution.

My teammate and I on a Sunday drive in sunny California!

@socalnatv I agree big time… I actually slowed up because I thought I heard someone say caution… but your explanation makes it make sense… because I heard a faint caution over the mic.

@Kgffy As a fellow mountain biker I may be biased but this is my overall favorite livery. It looks amazing, great looking design Nova.

Post Race Report and Scoring
Event #3 at Laguna Seca


Laguna Seca saw some great battles across both races. Some elbows were out, but overall the racing was intense and in the rules.
Race 1 was a damage control race for me. I was swamped in the opening lap and fell a few places from my qualifying position, but after recovering, I was able to regain and take back the positions lost and gained one for a 6th place finish. LI attempted to close the distance on @Bologna_Duc for 5th place, but every bit I gained, he was able to take back. Outside of the attempt to gain on him, overall, the race was uneventful for me once the field spread out.
Race 2 was a trial of patience and accepting a good position. I worked my way up into 4th place over the course of Race 2 with my teammate, Raul in the 3rd place. I had the pace to catch up and even challenge for the final podium spot, but with attackers from behind, I decided to hold ground for the team effort and maintained a defensive stance to keep both of us in the top positions. The strategy held strong allowing us to finish 3 and 4 for Race 2.
Overall, I was happy with the end result being tied in points with Raul for a 5th place overall finish, edged out by the tie-breaking higher finish postion of Raul.
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 in Event #3

Very minimal to non-existant lag/jittering was present across the field....great night for racing

Now for Scoring:
Congratulations to @Kgffy on the Overall Win on the night. With 2nd and 7th place finishes across the event night, again, this is a testament that just outright winning 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 :cheers:

Also, Congratulations to our Top 3 Overall:
1st: @Kgffy
2nd: @socalnatv / Sand_68
3rd: @Worst_Driver / GTP_Worstdriver
