Yeah, Dave... I did get fuel the second time, tho it couldn't have been much.

That wasn't the reason for the second stop, tho.  I had looped it in 3 & tagged
the wall & had to pit twice to fix the damage.  Came out first time when pace
car was in turn 4 & chased around & pitted again.  Dunno if I caused the yellow
or not, someone else apparently also crashed somewhere else on the track at
about the same time & said they needed a tow...

With ~56 laps left, checked F3 & had 56 laps fuel left, so I started to conserve
then.  Didn't think I'd catch you, & was worried when you ran out of fuel that I
would, too.

I ran out on the cool down lap in turn 3.

Sometimes ya gotta be good... sometimes ya gotta be lucky ;)

After viewing the replay, I thought you were just being very clever. :-)
That little splash of fuel you got in the second pit stop apparently was
just enough.
