A great start and a very promising run...and then the server went down. The sequel, like most sequels, was horrible compared to the first. Stupid wrecks and a lot of BS kept us down.
[EDIT] Re-ran and did better, despite what Chad says. I think we did OK against mass carnage and unfortunateness. And I'm pretty sure this was the first race where we all had green flag pits stops and under the same green flag run! You can see by the video that the AI kept pace with causing wrecks. Pocono next week though I will personally be out. Well done everyone.
