British World Touring Car Championship 2013 - 58-59 Carolina Motorsports Park

Well all I can say is this was a cluster.  Thank you to Time Warner Cable for cutting out our cable several times causing us to drop our 3rd race for sake of time.

Race 1:
OK race though a bit long.  I was able to qualify at the front and took the win.  Darrel was catching up after he worked through the pack.  If I had kept screwing up my lines he likely would have closed the gap from working traffic.  Scot and Sandy also worked through the field and made some ground but were held back mostly from stupid AI.  Sorry, no pics because I hopped out too quickly.

Race 2:
After about 3 attempts (thank you yet again, TWC) we finally got a race in.  And the start was a bash! Scot started up on the pole with the rest of us back in the back.  I got a jump on the field and immediately caught up to Sandy in time to see him bulldoze (literally) through 5 other drivers.  One, he completely rolled over several times, right in front of me.  I didn't feel bad.  But he wasn't anything special as far as the rest of the field was concerned, EVERYONE seemed to be involved.  I got caught up trying to avoid a wreck and got winged in the back which curiously flattened my front tire.  That set me back quite a bit.  Unfortunately, others came across similar instances.  Mostly being ungodly loose.  Darrel and I ended up getting close together and finishing nose to tail.  Sandy was still coming up through the field but had plenty of grief from the AI, giving him a finish that was far less than what his performance was worth.  Scot won.  Sorry no pictures on this one because I screwed up on the button combinations to do it...

The final 3 races.  We're almost finished and getting ready for the next series.  More details coming soon...
