Pre-Race Interview is up guys.

1. Just racing a lot with Daniel and Steve and having Chris Roberts helping us a whole lot. Can't wait for the upcoming season with you all.

2. Nope Im a home body and all of my close family lives here so there really is no reason to travel. Plus cant beat home!

 

[BrandonMassey]

1. Not a whole lot besides us mentally preparing ourselves and running in the Wednesday Truck Series hoping that track time will also help us.
2. All of my family is in the same area so no traveling needed. More time to relax and enjoy time with them and have fun.

1.  Been driving the ever lovin' out of the B car!  Track time, and telemetry... just been working hard at it all I can.  So excite!
2.  Christmas with nearby family, then cruising down to L.A. to take my older son to the Rams vs. Niners game on New Years Eve.  Should be fun!

Not much.  We’re all set for setups all season I believe. This week is Daytona so it doesn’t really need a whole lot of thinking...just luck.

Jeffery,
Just to let you know all your setups are not going to work after Daytona. Iracing is making major changes next week to the build.

We have been working alot on driving skills and telemetry. Doing alot of b open races to get a better handle on what the car drives like with different setups. Going to be a good season of racing i think since we all have had a season to get used to open setups.


Yes. Going to my parents house in central Florida..

I don't think I will be able to make the race tonight. Too much school work . Should be racing the rest of the season tho.

1. Worked with my team and some of the veterans to get used to how the B car handles. Luckily I've met a great group of guys between my teammates and fellow racers that I've been able to practice with.

2. I'll probably go to my parents' house as well as my sister's place for the holidays.

Topic is locked. That was an embarrassment to say the least. True it is part of plate racing but we had 5 cars on the lead lap before we even made it half way. There will be a longer than average drivers meeting next week and some of you can expect to be contacted privately.

I just want to add one more thing to this post. Don't feel like I am mad at any one person. It's more of I was just really disappointed last night because we can put on excellent events when we try. Most of the issues last night were just a result of plate racing, however a few people seemed to be in a hurry to go nowhere and it triggered the big one before we even made it half way.

I made this promise last season after I came back on board and I will state it again. I will NEVER change rules mid season. That being said tiny things can be adjusted like incident levels or the rule I just added in that you MUST race with a wheel and pedals and nothing else. Things like last night will not trigger us trying to fix things that aren't necessarily broken and instead will focus on people who might be creating those issues.

See you all on Sunday.
