iRacing after 2+ years

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Well....

Broke down again last night and purchased Mid-Ohio, Skip Barber Formula 2000, and the Dallara Indy-Car.

I don't care what software you're racing Mid-Ohio on, it's always a blast.

So I own 16 cars, and 33 tracks, but still need 14 cars and 14 tracks for the 100%.....Over the course of the next 3 months, we will get these purchased.

I never really have been a fan of the Skip, car is just a gamble for me. Hopefully you like it though.

Watched your race tonight, the guy that wrecked and you barely clipped was clueless. He kept trying to rotate the car instead of just keeping it down on the runoff after T2

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

yeah, i made a bad move, I thought he was going to roll back up to the wall, and then he didn't. But he never should have been there anyways.

Man, restrictor plate racing is very fun when you have a good experienced crowd. I joined a late night race with 15 guys who seemed to have pretty good experience and it was a blast.

Terry C. was in there with me but I never got close enough to the front to help him. I finished 9th and Terry ended up 6th.

Not sure which race you were driving in, but I was 5th and you were 6th last night

I botched that last restart and ended up 3 wide trying to push it at the end. Had never run Talladega until last night. Much more fun than Daytona.

I agree, because a lot of people can't handle the bumps at Daytona, so it makes for some real shaky racing sometimes. Dega is so wide open and smooth, that even Run can handle that.

LOL I guess I shouldn't sim race and drink. I was trying to get to you on the high side at the beginning but the guy in front of me couldn't hold it still.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Yeah there were a few guys there who scared the hell out of me to be around them. That and I didn't raise much of a ruckus while in the race, but the #24 running up to block me like 10 and 20 laps into the race was bush league.

There were a few guys there that were really fun to run with, but as usual, a few guys that were only interested in "give and take" as long as it was me doing the giving and them doing all the taking. I eventually quit caring and just started forcing the issue on the outside line. Got it moving pretty well for a while there, but couldn't do much at the end.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

I think some of those issues you guys see, wont see outside of hosted racing since its "house money". Nothing to gain nor lose in one of those races.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

well my luck is junk.

Running 6th in the top split at Texas as the #25 car, do a green flag pit stop, and the sim crashes to the desktop...

Yeah, its easy to throw caution out the window, when the individual isn't affected in any way at all. I will say that I raced a 60 lapper at Dega today(hosted race) and the winner actually got $20 iRacing credit. I finished 6th out of 27, but more impressive, there was not one caution, and everyone communicated all race long.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Just finished 9th out of 25 in a NW race. Nick finished 2nd. We had 12 cautions for 47 caution laps.
