iRacing Late Model Tour (2008-07-17 11:00 am)
Yet again, I started from pole. Yet again, my tyres gave up and I dropped to second-place. It’s kind of hard to be too dissapointed about it, but I still haven’t got a win yet! My laps led total has gone way up though just lately and I think it’s only a matter of time before I get a win on either the ovals or roadcourses. Anyway, I didn’t qualify before the event, but still had my 16.092 from a few days ago. This, as I said above, gave me pole position.
It wasn’t much of an interesting race (which is why honestly, I’m glad I don’t win all the time) until the guy in second place started to catch me as my tyres went off. I’d just started to try a higher line when he caught me and it actually seemed that with worn tyres I was slightly faster there again than I was at the bottom of the track. I just let him go and really, that was it! I ran around in second-place (a lap ahead of the third-placed person) until the chequered flag.
I had no incidents (no, not even a scrape with the wall) and my fastest lap was 16.092 (yes, the same as my qualifying lap from days earlier), set on lap two.
