Waiting for you was the least I could do after such a bonehead move. I'm really sorry I bumped you off track and put you way behind the pack. I wanted to kick myself! I was just a little too hot going into Indianapolis.

Yeah, the race was just getting fun after lapping alone since our lap 1 coming togther. Then my friggin wheel went bonkers, going into it's cal routine, and the game just locked up. Had to use Task Manager to kill it. Arrgh! The stupid wheel has been iffy since day one. It craps out about every 4th or 5th session.
Though we were racing each other before my wheel died, the truth is, I was doomed to last place with my 3 stop (edit: 2 stop) strategy. I think everyone was done with their stops but I was going to have to make another one. I need to learn how to adjust my strategy on the fly. I think that's possible in Rf2 isn't it? Lord knows there were enough long straight-aways to do the mental calculations.
But... fun race none the less. Great season. And congrats to David on his championship. All you front runners amaze me.
See ya!
