I hereby resign from this racing forum. When your on cold tires and a guy blast you from behind and doesn't stop and wait, just says sorry something is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its been a great time racing with you guys, but hasn't it always been the lead car in a corner has the line and the overtaker has to adjust. Like I said it's been a great time but it's time for me to move on maybe I'm getting too old. Maybe I'm wrong but thats the way it is. Again thanks for the past years........Wish you all well.

I guess I discoed about lap 15!!! Hope I didn't ghost car anyone. Didn't get a disco message, just drove the track and then it registered "Hey nobody showing up around me. Good racing with misnoimis, each of us were better on different parts of the track. Think I was one cog too low and lost you on the straights. Good fun while it lasted..

Hey Clive; My uncle had a pacemaker installed, this was maybe 12/15 years ago and he had it installed one day and went home the next. I went by his place a couple of days later and he was out raking leaves like nothing happened. He lived to be 92 or 93 yo and was just as grumpy right till the end. Little tip, he died putting on his socks, so beware when you get that age!!!!!!
Be thinking of you Bob M.

First off grats to the podium!! Mostly a fun race for me except I had some downshifting problems. Was double shifting from 3rd to 1st, happened about 3 or four times. Came close to Erlhing and misnoimis and I having a tangle. Erhling gave me a hard time for quite a few laps in the first half of the race, good fun. He was in a lower class car, but is more talented so evened out the battle. He was much faster in the corners and my Alfa would pull away from him off the corners and down the straight. Hope I didn't hold you up too much. After the pit stop we seperated until the final couple of laps and I could see him ahead but then had another downshift problem on the last curve and went into the sand. I am doing this series very scientificcaly, just going down the list of cars, hope to be able to drive them all...........

That was a tough one!! These cars are way above my talent level and the track has too much of a F1 look to it. Had some grins with following Dan. Both of us were in wounded cars at the time. Finally I was just going to give up and leave, but decided to pit and see if they could fix the car. The front air dam was taken out by a wall hit I think, bad understeer and bad braking. They worked on it but no help, the pit board said just body damage. Think it may have been a little better but looking back I should have put new rubber on it also. Just decided to soldier through the rest of the last laps, hopeing I would get lapped a lot and put me out of my misery. Tried to stay out of the fast guy's way when they lapped me but had my hands full, hope I didn't hold any of you up....See you all at the Moor in the old cars, at least they are drivable for me..............

As for the race total disaster for me. I had no practice at all because a bunch of us old veterans volenteered to deliver groceries to the homes for a local store to old folks and such. Only drove about 5-6 laps before and then I had chosen the wrong Toyota. Thought it was the one we used in the other races. Dumb move. Then I moved off line to let someone lap me and didn't get back in time and skidded into the wall in the straight thru, fast chicane. Was fun while it lasted. Always liked this track. See you all next week unless the bad bug gets me!!!

I have been there and done that Clive. Just before Win 7 was deemed obsolete sometime during the night the powers that be decided I needed Win 10. It was all messed up and I had to call my daughter who is the family PC guru and she fixed it up by deleting a bunch files and locked up the area that takes updates. Have not had any problems since but I'm sure at some time they will figure out a way to get into it again. Good luck with yours!!! Bob M.

Well it looks like I won't make the race today. We here in the states are on Daylight savings time now, so will be a hour later than normal for me. My wife has her "Hen House" get togethers on some Monday afternoons and I would have to leave sometime in the first race to pick her up. Might just have her take a Taxi home in the future conflicts like today, but after you guys get on DST should be ok....Glad you got sound on your car Clive, it's such a sweet mellow tone LOL

Had the disco problem between R1 and R2 again. Guess I left during Qual no message saying so thou. seeing a little red mist now so decided not to try R3. Wish I could figure out what is wrong. Did it some last season also and I did a whole new install for this season. Checked the internet connection and all the speeds are normal. Guess I just won't Qual anymore on the between race options, just wait for the race...........

Grats to the podium, also the series champs and to Erling just a few point behind. Thanks to Tony for organizing the series. I enjoyed driving the Vette and even the Cobra on some tracks. I never could get the setup right on it so it would get off the corners and also had trouble with it wanting to swap ends under hard braking. We used this car some over on GC back in the old days and I always tried to avoid it as my car choice. Thanks for the races to all!!!!
