A PB in qualy got me P13 on the grid. Survived lap one to fall into some good racing with several drivers. One unforced error lost me 2 positions but all in all had good effort. Battled Shannon for the last 5 or 6 laps. I think I was a wee bit faster over all but not in the last curve leading to the main straight and so could never get a draft going. I had a couple of close chances elsewhere but he was racing so well I did not want to take a chance of barging him off track. I took P11. Great racing Shannon! Great nerves. No bobbles to give me an opening.
Race 2. Got sandwiched in the left hairpin on lap one. All manor of mayhem ensued. Most who were involved got past the hairpin intact but in the uphill climb toward the cresting right I think a lot of guys lost their situational awareness in the chaos and several bumps and bangs sent folks flying off track, myself included. Got going in near P last and decided to just make what I could of it. On about lap 2 or 3 everybody around me instantly vanished! Oh My! I raced a few more corners hoping everyone would come back but no luck. Drove off track and hit Esc.
Dang! Two weeks in row I get a DNF for race 2. Sucks.
