First off... bummer Nikos that you didn't make the first race. Man that has to be disappointing!
Race 1, qualified with a PB in the 1:22s. Felt pretty good about that but it was only good enough for P9. Got very lucky getting past the first lap shemozzle. Was the last guy through and gained a couple positions. Raced alone for quite a while. Got a couple more spots through attrition and finished P6. Set a new PB in the 1:21s on the last lap. Quite happy but now had to start the second race with faster guys behind me. Oh my!
Second race was much more interesting. Car in front of me didn't get away. Caused just enough of a hold up to give up quite a few positions. Now I'm back in the pack as we all try to squeeze around T1. Me and Jerry touch and lock wheels. He gets away fairly well and I lose a couple more. Then a big shemozzle (my word of the week!) at T3 and I get a few back but me and Jerry tangle again at T4. Honestly Jerry, I wasn't out gunning for you! Just hard racing. By this time my car is a little bent so I duck into the pits earlier than normal. The stop is 77 seconds... ouch! Then I speed exiting the pits so a stop-and-go is accessed to me. Arrgh! But even with all that I enjoyed the weekend.
See y'all next time.
