USF2000 League - Round 3 - Lime Rock Park - Reports

Two words from me.
Practice before qualy,cried for help!!
Couldn't feel the front,no grip at all and massive understeer.
Many drivers offered help,thank you all,and in way i cured underst.
I knew this track,right turns,is eating left front so it was impossible via camber and different rire pressure to save it.
Dan offered me a setup and viola!!!
Car is more planted now and i went to 58'!!!!
Thanks Dan!
7th in qualy and fuel for .....half race...BIG MISTAKE
First stint all good,everyone in front started entering pits and i was 2nd when i took my pitstop.
58 sec!!!!!and all other drivers was 30-40 sec.
Lost a lot of time and emerged i think 9th....with the same fuel with others.
If i started the race,like everyone,with fuel for all the race maybe it was better.
Second race,full fuel for the race,started 2nd,had i good fight with John Cook,until fast guys was in my tail,took a little gas off to let them pass,and Mel Fisk was behind me,we had a hug in the last right downhill turn,went to the barriers,lot of damage,300 or more sec to the pits,
finished 11th.
Sorry Mel
Every race with you i learn a lot!
Now F2!!!!
Have a nice day,or night!!!!

I think Dan's setup file was someway faulty. Nikos was also using it and he also had longer pitstops than usual (double the time).

I dont think its a setup fault.
My long pitstop was due to my bad decision to load fuel,and that costed me approx 15 sec.
Dan's setup is fine and stable through the race.
If you know something else please inform us!
You used to post your setups after race,i remember,why did you stop?
