Just a few minutes ago I was racing on Hawaii, and this happened...
I was racing just a few minutes ago on Hawaii for a FULL FIELD of 32 cars in a
Talladega race. Everyone was cheering over the huge race. We got into practice and some idiot
came around, went the wrong way, and began wrecking everyone on the track.
I didn't see him again so I assume he was pulled out. I think another person joinged
in. Correct me if I'm wrong, it was my first time on the service.
The race began, I qualified 4th with a time of 194.274. We got the green and people
began going 5 wide! I fell back to 12th because I lost the draft. I began seeing
smoke ahead, then 4 cars we wrecked and caused several cars ahead to wreck. I held
my line and prayed. Barely made it through, but, that's not the same for people behind me.
I was in 5th and no caution came out (Cautions were disabled) and I began scrambling
for the draft. I passed some cars to get into 3rd. I saw 1st and 2nd having it out
on Turn 2. I pulled under them, and the guy on the outside came down and hit the car
on the inside, which in turn hit me! They spun out, I spun one circle and fell back
to 4th. I don't know where what position they were, but they were in the grass.
I came up upon Giggle (some person I met on the post race chatroom), and we became
drafting partners. We drafted and blew everyone away for about 3 seconds interval.
Then about 2 laps left and I began to make my move. He let me go by and I slid up the
track a bit, he got 1st back. By then, the other 25+ cars where about 7 seconds behind.
I went by on the Trioval and I noticed my gas was running out, Giggle stayed behind
me and drafted me, awaiting to make his move. I ran out of gas on the last turn, and Giggle
pushed me all the way accross the finish line so I could win. That's a sign of a good sportsman.
So, I'd like to say "Thanks" to whoever Giggle is. You deserve the win, so I "dedicate"
my win to you. Giggle told me he knew I was out of gas in the chatroom and then left.
Giggle, if I ever hear from you again, I want you to know that I couldn't have
won the race without you! THANKS!
See you,
Mark
