Welp, that was an interesting race.
My "incident" with Air was unfortunate. I probably should not have tried to thread the needle. I am going with the it was blocking story. . . . Yep, that is how I saw it. . . .
I just droped a tire and it kicked me in to Air. It was just a little tap but that was all it took. Air left me just enough room less about 2 inches.
As for Pro piling in. That was just funny.. . . Not for Pro and especially not for Air but from my perspective I was hard on the binders and I was mirror watching to see what / where Air was and all fo a sudden I see Pro coming in like a freight train. It certainly made any chance of Air making any kind of recovery impossible and then I think some one else got caught up in that aftermath.
I had a good race with Pro at the end of the 2nd race. He caught me on the last lap and I bet if there had been one more lap he would have got by.
There have been a track change for next week. See the announcement that Pro has put up on the discord.
The first ~two laps of the first race should have some close racing between Pro, Sauce and I... hopefully it will make the highlights. 09Unwound's coverage cut away just as things were getting interesting, taking on all the traits of a professional broadcast! LOL, just kidding, love the coverage.
In reply to Rodan :
Haha yeah I noticed from the leaderboard. There was (I dont often say this) A lot of action all around. Now to make it more intense (kidding) I wish I had some time to analyze the big crashes every week for a video.
Yeah, I need to get back into the highlights, these "bad" tracks make for great replays!
Of note. Next week "would" have been some great replays, but nooooo... we have to go with safe. It had a jump! for F's sake... that would have been fun!! And stone walls, and trees... fun!!
I mean, this is REAL man racing! As in, you race, you hit a giant boulder in a car with no fuel cell!... you die!!... and that's the way we liked it!!!
Does this not entertain you? (heck, I can even comb through the replays and count how many crashes likely would have been fatal! Fun!)
If you want to be SAFE (pah!), you can slow down for the jump.... and have Dean torpedo you from behind.. but that is what you will deserve! for driving like a little girl!!
Notice this fellow racing past a farmhouse and a stack of wood.. at 100 mph, with almost no brakes!
Did we just switch out the order, or was Bremgarten eliminated? I'm game, either way... looks like fun!
Although I don't think a real-life Alfa 33 would be driveable after landing that jump...
It's off the list. Last 2 tracks are TBD, but pressure is on the leadership council to make up their mind.
my vote is Sebring and Watkins Glen
Rodan said:Can we have Bremgarten back? Monza is BORING AS BERKELEY.
Back in the day, we raced boring tracks and sometimes ran into trees and boulders and houses and died.
And that's the way we liked it!!
In reply to aircooled :
I didn't mean to imply Monza isn't challenging (or dangerous, IRL), but that isn't the same as interesting or fun to drive.
Finally have the highlights for Bridgehampton (a bit of a special one). I never got the 1st race (since I did not attend), so this is only the second race.

LOL... wasn't ever really a huge SNL fan, but I'm definitely a grumpy old man.
