Yes indeed! C&N does rock! 8)
Botched my qualy effort throttling down a little too aggressively in the last turn so I started very near the rear. A "very good" lap would have put me around P12. But I got a good start and with a few offs by others I was in P12 by the end of the first lap. My whole race from this point on was battling Mel. He and I are pretty evenly matched with him usually a wee bit faster than me. But this time I was hanging with him. I fought hard for a several laps to finally get by him just to realize that after our pit stops he was in front of me! Huh? Again I trailed for several laps trying to find a way past. We even had an over-under move at T1 where he tried to go back under me and we touched and spun, but it was a pure racing incident. I think though that he had some minor damage (that's his claim any way!
) and with about 2 to go I got by him for good for P11.
Race 2 I started at P11. With one pass for position and several mistakes by others I quickly got to P4. Raced alone there for the whole race while the fast guys drove off into the sunset.
My P11 finish was way more fun than my P4 finish. Good racing Mel. Hope to beat you some more in the future!! ;D
P.S. Glad (sort of) to hear the server/steam or something other than my rig caused the short drop out at the end. Man that was scary!
