Sorry guys, I was moving and the internet in our new place did not get turned on when we thought it would. I want to get a truck racing going some during this week after we get settled in.

boxboy,
You posted on the outside pole because no one had qualified yet and the field was set based on iRating. I would venture to guess your car number in that race was probably 1 or 2?

At some point I would just go ultra conservative, no warm ups and start from the pits every race until your done.

Just got my computer going, fresh Windows 7, new Corsair power supply, 1 Tb hard drive and nVidia 450 GTS graphics card. Downloading all the stuff I need to get iRacing and AcesHigh fired up today so I can start the suckage. I can't make the Sunday race this weekend as I am racing in real life out at the drag strip. Normally its on Saturday but this weekend is the NMCA event, there will be tons of fast street cars there. Still need a desk to play with and looking forward to getting back behind the wheel/stick, I need my fix!

4th by a splitter!!!



This was my first full race at Texas and found myself sitting in third with 10 laps to go coming to the green. We had run about ten laps under green before this caution period came about. Coming to the green second place wheel spins and I take 2nd as the yellow flies going into turn one. As we come to the green I am second with fresh tires about 2 spots behind us, oh boy. Did I mention the #1 car had fresh tires, I am #19 and he was one row behind me? We ended the race with a green, green, white, checker which was not ideal for me. Of course on 10 lap tires coming to green on the outside I get massive wheel spin and fall to 3rd right away. My truck was setup for the long run so I just put it down into the corners and held on for dear life. I was way loose and didn't drive it as good as I should have but eeeked out a 4th place finish. My god was it fun though, to see the hot lapper's come back into view after 20-30 laps was golden. Even after a 40 lap run my tires were 92-86 on the front and 93-87 on the rear, didn't push it at all. Started 19th, finished 4th, gained 70+ iRating and +.18 SR with 1 incident, saaaaaaawwweeeet! It was so nice to have strategy play out, play the pit stop game and have it actually effect the race.

God I love the trucks!!!!

(Yes I am happy if you couldn't tell lol.....)
