Sounds like I need to reshedual then.

Would Saturday or Sunday be better? The latest I could start the event would be around 4PM EST/9PM GMT/10PM CET.

Both days will likely be a scratch for me barring some unforeseen event.

In other news; the Skippy likes Mid-Ohio much better than it does Summit Main.

Dang... trying to get my SR > 3.00 so I can promote out of rookie road class.

Well, second lap in a race, someone in front of me looses control and starts to spin around. I try to avoid, but I hit him with my left side and gets a 4X for collision.

I can still drive, but on a straight line I have to hold the driving wheel at an angle for the remaining 10 laps - not fun - and I started to wonder:
If I just pulled over and exited the race, would the SR be the same as if I drove to the end?

Just do time trials to boost your SR up.

I like driving Lanier in the Legends Ford, four poles in my first ten races.

 :rock

No wins though.....

I've had a couple of .55's. Not sure why though, maybe because I was racing super clean in a field way above my licence's rating.

Hmmm, interesting....

On a side note I got my first win in Legends!

 :x

Started on the pole, lead every lap and finished with no incursions against a 12 car field.

I did manage to get .13 SR points too..

No doubt, the first couple I did we in the lowest split because of bad qualifying. It was
more like bumper cars until I finally nailed the fast way around. Once I got hang of it the
races started to clean up like this last one. I think there were only a dozen or so incidents
the entire race, I was amazed. Pulled a big lead early and had to weave through traffic, I
mighty nervous. Four or five cars within about 2 seconds of each other tend not to give
you much room.

I was waiting for someone to lose it right in front of me...but it was a clean race.
