Over 3000 pages views! And we've raced 51 races this season. Definitely a long time and we're coming to the end for sure. Just a trip to Cleveland, some tracks down south, and we wrap up with the Canadians and Papyrus. Here at Mid Ohio we had some issues with crashing servers so we had to just skip qualifying. Sadly we suffered for it, but we each made some progress.
Race 1: A $%&* storm of a first lap. Cars everywhere down each section. The field settled somewhat quickly and things ended up with Scot and I at the front. Darrel and Sandy, however, suffered well.
Race 2: Darrel took out quite a few people at the start before turn 1. From there it was just intensely close racing through the circuit. Scot lost 4th gear somewhere along the way but he managed to stay in the running through to the end and got a top 20. Darrel and Sandy also improved, with Darrel in position to get to the top runners. He would get rear ended in one of the tighter turns a few times which caused all kinds of issues.
Race 3: Another intense first lap with small skirmishes all around the track, usually ending with more than one car off course. Scot lost another gear, 2nd this time, but still held on until the very end. And I mean the very end. Battle damage caused his engine to die just before the finish, costing him a top ten. Sandy held on just barely to pass him at the end. But I didn't make it easy on him. After taking the win, I didn't notice him coming to the hairpin of turn 2. Last second I cranked it to the right which launched me over the grass, into the air, and right over his hood. Fortunately, he finished the race. I need to remember that one for the highlight reel. Darrel almost took the win as I struggled to hold onto a struggling car going through the last corners.
To the classic Cleveland Airport where CART has had some historical moments. It will be interesting to see how we do on a track with virtually no elevation changes and huge turns.
