The race was decided in the middle stint.  I pushed my tyres too hard and
was the first of the leaders to pit.  I lost a couple of laps in the pits.
John pitted a few laps later and took advantage of this to gain a 10 second
lead.  He extended this further, managing to put a lap on me.  After that I
conserved my tyres in the run home to hold on to 2nd spot.

In retrospect I still congratulate myself on the wisdom to not start in this
one though - 250 laps at Bristol, you guys are simply amazing!! :-) DGF,
Spark and Mitch even ran the WG race with me afterwards. Thanks for that
guys!

What happened to everyone who was supposed to race today?

My Bristol race was decided before it began. I couldn't get to the track
after warm up. The start button wouldn't turn green. I ended up frantically
going to my options screen and then back and found the button had finally
changed. "Sparks" and I started from the pits and then I broke the pit lane
speed limit. Anyone ever had this happen?

At around lap 50 Mitch and I came together and I hit the wall causing
damage. Couldn't get the car into the 16's again after that.

I said I wasn't tired because I thought you had run the Bristol race too and
I didn't want to seem wimpy. :-)

You were flying around that track. 1:15's and 16's. I picked up some
pointers from you though.

What happened was I logged on at 4pm EST (10PM CET) and no server showed.
Waited 15 mins and started something else.

I don't know where people get the impression my life revolves around
simracing. Although it does in certain ways and I am in the fortunate
position to give it more attention than most are able to, it still needs
scheduled around my real life activities. Or, when possible, real life
activities around simracing. Either way I'm bound to a schedule.

As things are quite hectic for me at the moment, I can not sit idle for more
than 15 mins waiting for a race to materialize. It also means that if a race
falls through, I have a more than ample backlog of other hobby activities to
get on with. Sorry.

Bit of a pity as I did fancy my consistency showing at the Glen (even if 25
laps is a little short for that).

Oh well, there's always next time (I hope).

Jan.

John, sorry about the T-bone, but you got tapped and turned and came right
across in front of me. I had no time to miss you.

I'd done a 75 lapper at Bristol recently and noticed a certain amount of
'having had enough' after that already <g>. Therefor I thought that 250 laps
would be well over my head (and neck <g>)

Achim

It's a pity John Simmons left before the race, every single additional car
would have been more than welcome with such an already small field.
