This Weeks Run

Just checking to see if anybody would be interested in an all-inclusive update thread. Somewhere to post weekly updates, videos, points standings, lap/course times, and friendly prods, pokes, wagers and attaboys, regardless of the competetion genre (oval, road, auto, rally, paved, dirt). I know a lot of the guys that race by themselves (1st poke ) don't like to mingle with us three wide folks but it's all good competition. I enjoy seeing the updates, pix, and vids even though it may not be what I do.
Yay or nay? Maybe a different title? I'm not very creative.
If it's a bad idea, I understand.

I don't have anything to contribute yet, but I always enjoy watching yours or anyone's track videos.

Still waiting for the results from last weekend at Memphis International Raceway, but my two firsts in NXE will put me first in points by 10 and I think 50 ahead of third. NXE is the most competitive class in our region - 17 drivers last year. My lead is the difference between a first and a second place finish, so it's close.
My arch nemesis (and last year's class champion) had trouble with his Miata overheating and did not bring it for the second day, so I let him take the CRX out so he could still get points for the event and not be out of it for the year. I might regret that later in the year, like in November

I'm 7th in points even with only running four of seven nights.

1st, 2nd, and 4th are the only ones I can't beat. Yet. There are five females in the class. The girl in last place is 14 I think. Her first and only night she held it to the floor and plowed straight to the wall in turn one. I hope not but I assume no one gave her any coaching and let her learn on her own that the cars don't like power in the turn. It's a shame. hopefully, they will put the car back together so she can try again.

Well, I figured I should get into this thread. I know its a second gen but I've been racing first gens forever before I defected. Been a good season so far. Last night was week three. So far to date had a second and fourth place finish which had a three way tie for the points lead. This week I started the feature eighth and we only get fifteen laps so had a long way to go. Was up to second by lap five. Ran side by side with another car for the lead for the last ten laps running on the outside the whole time. On the last lap a car spun and was slow in the low groove. The guy inside of me pushed me up the track into the third groove. I managed to hold onto it and still come across the start finish line first despite a third car sneaking under us to try to go three wide for the win. All in all a good night, and now I stand alone atop the points 1/3 of the way through the season.

Hell ya! That's good stuff!
If I can leave work early enough, I may get to race this week.... Wifey hired a crew to pressure wash/stain both houses, shop, and deck this week so I got to deal with a few repairs til dark then to the shop til 2A. I still don't have a final corner weight since it takes two for that...

Anyway, it was the best race I've ran. The car LOVES some bassackwards counterintuitive set-up.
