LX Sport Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Even more action then last video...took longer to record and chop up than I planned. But here ya go, highlights from my view of the race. Still a fun time, but still a mess. I'm not particularity fast in the Miata, but keeping it *mostly* clean and avoiding trouble netted me 10th in class. Was running on fumes the last lap...dont know if I could've run another full lap. Enjoy! Side Note - Orange car that I ran into was LAPS behind, in 36th in place, and I was running down 8th...ended up finishing 10th. And Last time down the stretch, was totally blocking, but we both laughed about it at the end, had to defend to stay in 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I certainly seemed to be around most of the action in the first part of your highlight reel!!! Thanks for the share!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Advisory Committee NigelStu Posted January 26, 2018 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Always fun to see the nutty highlights. Hopefully those reduce over the next few races and future videos are mostly just a bunch of awesome passes and the occasional self-spin. Speaking of which, thank you everyone for avoiding me on lap 2 or 3 or whatever in the S's (about the 2:00 mark). I ended up stopped in a very very bad spot, but everyone cleared me and I was able to get off the line and safely re-enter without messing up anyone's race. I don't recall what happened on that one, I didn't save the replay And I'm glad I was able to help you on that last lap by being your pick as I was coasting with no fuel left (what's that app called that does the fuel calcs? my maths apparently stop working about 8:30 pm), and that it managed to somehow work out OK for the 3 of us. Just don't do that again, it almost made me soil my armor. Plus that was a BS move to essentially take all racing room away from a competitor. That could have ended very badly for all 3 of us if the contact had been a bit different... (Thankfully, you missed my late-race talent-level-has-reached-zero move for the replay. I was slowly reeling 10th-12th for Miatas in middle portion of race after my pit stop, likely in part due to the strong battles you guys were having, when I exceeded my talent limit through turn 8 on lap 30... smacked the inside wall. Not that it would have mattered in the end, still would have run out of fuel, but it sure would have been fun to actually be IN those battles instead of just watching them unfold in front of me).

I would never normally do that, but it was the last lap and I was fighting to hold on to my position. I didnt notice you until he went on my left. At that point it was up to him to let up or push....I honestly expected him to duck back behind me. But thanks for the pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I had a fairly good race! Was fun and I look forward to tryint to compete all season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedAccounts Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I show up at the 4:39 mark. Sorry. I was limping pretty badly at that point just trying to stay out of the way and did not see you coming up behind me. Hope I didn't mess your race up too bad. On the bright side, for me, that was the worst of my on track incidents that involved other drivers. Otherwise it was my most successful race so far. I went just over 30 minutes before running out of talent then spent most of the next 30 in the pits or fighting my ailing car around the track.
