Great race everyone. Unfortunate contact with Cristian on Lap 1, he ended up on his roof and had to take a tow

 

[Carsten Quint]

It was good to get back to racing again. I felt really good in practice, and it showed in qualifying. Best qualifying result for me in a while. Got a bit too wide on turn 9 lap 1 which had me spin into the wall. Got stuck in it so had to tow. Exited pits right behind Cristian when our tows where done and somewhat kept up with him for 4 or 5 laps, then just cruised to make it to the finish. See you guys next week.

Very exciting race guys, congrats
I was using JRT (timing) and nobody got less than 4 incidents, so, maybe there is an error in standings calculation?

From the results sheet of iRacing, only Matthew St.Germain got less than 3 incidents.

I had a much better race than I was expecting. The early nose to tail with Matt was a lot of fun. I think I spent a little too much time in the pits and took too much fuel. That cost me a spot to Igor and I just couldn't run him down with the time that remained. Happily this was a brain fart free race and I managed it with only 8 incident points. On to Daytona.
We had a couple new guys that ran their trial by fire race last night  and they all seemed to do a solid job. Congrats to Eric Luke on his 15th place finish. He jumped in feet first on that one.

Thanks Kenny!

I unfortunately spun out at the high speed chicane on lap four, which after my return to the pits to fix damage meant a very lonely race.  Other than that I was pretty much incident free for the rest of the race.  Not having enough seat time in the car was a challenge but hopefully I will be better prepared for Daytona.  

A big thanks again to SharkV for getting me registered on such short notice.

I didn't expected that either. A lot of pressure at the end since I had to do perfect laps to keep you from getting close.

It's a bit of sacrifice to stay awake till 1am, but the races had being awesome. Nice to see that more people are joining.

My only hope would have been a mistake. You were faster through some sections and I had a little more in a few but the overall lap times were too close for me to make much headway. I think I got it down to a second but it would have taken 5 or 6 more laps for me to get close enough to even attempt a pass.
