Don't forget the golden rule- Everyone and their Daddy shows up for Watkins Glen. We're getting so much traffic it's going into 3 splits which I've never seen before.
I tell you one thing. This iRating system is working perfectly. This is exactly where I am supposed to be split wise. Sometimes I'll do very good and get congrats from my fellow racers. Sometimes tho I'll make a mistake tho. Since I'm now up towards the front if I make a mistake it can cost others their race too.
My last race I was a Lap 1 hero fighting to hold my 2nd place spot and spun out. I caught the car but my competition followed too close and tapped me. We both had to pit and fight our way back into the top 10. But others were not so fortunate when they tried to dodge us and ended their race!
I'm having a blast tho every race and I am learning a lot. Just need to settle down and pace myself
[EDIT] What a BIZZARE
race
I think almost the entire grid got into a major incident. I was doing my thing, dodging wrecks and listening to my spotter. But they finally got me. I felt very frustrated but I calmed myself down. Took the tow. Played with my kids & talked to the wife during the break. I refuse the optional repair and try to pull out and find out my car is not really drivable. I take another 2 min tow then take the optional 3 min repairs. By this time I'm down to 7th and I'm 4 secs off my normal pace. Still managed to finished 5th somehow.
I wished everyone could have just driven clean. I was having such a fun race before all the wrecks. You know it's bad when you see all those DNFs.
I hope to get time to make a wreck video about all the carnage I've witnessed at the Star Mazda championship at the lower splits. But I've had a lot of great finishes as well and the car is pretty tough. I've seen my car take a lot of hits and still roll across that finish line. So I am still very happy this could have gone much, much, worse
