I'm stuck using a keyboard and don't get much practice time. I'm reasonably happy with my efforts and continuing (but slow) improvement but the fact remains that I'm so much slower than everyone else that I really feel like a mobile chicane. I'm so happy to be allowed to race with you guys, considering how uncompetitive I am.

As long as I stay on the black stuff I'm usually happy with my race.

My first race with the league and I really want to apologise to everyone.

I do have a kind of mental block with Watkins Glen and can't find a rhythm on it for some reason but honestly, tonight, if you were on the track and I DIDN'T ruin at least one of your laps, (if not the race), you were lucky.

I was well aware of how poorly I was driving and was so eager to make sure I let people through that I was going dangerously slowly at some points. Just not thinking clearly.

I crashed into a spinner in the Esses after making a blinding start and then seemed to hit every barrier around the track at some point. With ten laps left I think my engine overheated or something - not sure - but I lost drive. I shift-r'd but when I crashed again not long later I figured that if this were real, I'd have been out on the first lap and by staying on track I was only risking taking out a front-runner. I therefore pulled into the pits and retired myself.

As I said above, I'm really sorry to have got in everyone's way. Hopefully you saw the funny side of an Eagle in a different crash site every lap!
