2013 IROC Series - Monday Nights @ 6:00PM PST - [FINISHED]

Post-race Report – 5/27/13

Had a great time tonight and a good turnout for the first week with 9-12 racers participating in this week’s festivity.  Here are the highlights from this weeks races

Race #1 – Sunset Full – Driveby wasted no time in jumping out to a quick lead in the series as he posted the first 1^st place of the season. Although struggled in the first few laps, he pulled it together and maintained a lead on second place finisher, MaxPerforma with brntguy rounding out the top 3.  Shirmp also had a strong race just finishing outside the top 3 with a 4^th place finish

Race #2 – Sunset Speedway – This proved to be a real wild-card race as nunderw00b while in the lead took turn 4 a bit wide and scraped the wall  triggering a several car accident however MaxPerforma was able to find a hole in the smoke and managed to get through it cleanly.  gtFOOTw and Tonyssr rounded out the top three.

Race #3 – Sunset Speedway Reverse – For the next race, we switched it up and looked to make right turns for the first time this season.  Myself and brntguy was out front when a a few cars get together behind them.  Brntguy was able to take the lead midway with nunderw00b moving into second to finish 1-2.  Going into the final corner, driveby was closing in on me for 3rd when I decided to make a rookie mistake and hit the wall dropping back to 9th at the checkered flag

Race 4 – Laguna Seca – The second road course had the drivers heading out to California.  I was able to jump out a quick lead with clean air  and was able to win the race however had the race been a few laps longer, driveby would have made it real interesting as he was closing in quickly to finish 2^nd.  Nunder was able to round out the top 3.

Race 5 – Road Atlanta – What can we say, brntguy is a beast at this track and the results showed as he walked away with a 1^st place finish. Max also showed is strength with a strong 2^nd place finish with myself rounding out the top 3.

Race 6 – Benchmark Layout-A – What an interesting track this is and proved to be.  With such a wide open choice of lines on one side of the track and the tight lines going into the hanger doors at the other.  After the dust settled, driveby managed to find the way around the track posting his second win of the night with nunderw00b and brntguy finishing on the podium.

Race 7 - Benchmark Layout-A Reverse – Although we went in reverse, the same challenges presented themselves.  The pain points seemed to be in the hangers as it was difficult to see if there was an accident however Shrimp made it through the race and posted his first top spot podium finish followed by Max and driveby.

Race – 8 - Indy GP – We closed the night’s activities with a trip to Indy. gtFOOTw was beyond strong in the final event and posted an impressive 1^st place finish. Tricootertops showed up for the final event and he wasted no time in making a presence as he and driveby battled it out for what seemed like forever to finish 2^nd and 3^rd.

Overall, driveby and brntguy have shown they are both strong on the road courses and ovals each posting a win in both formats.  I want to thank everyone for racing tonight.  It was a blast and I look forward to racing with you guys next week.

Pre-race Report – 6/3/13

Today were off to Japan to start tonight’s festivities at Motegi and Susuka before heading back to the states to finish the night.  This week’s races look to be a bit calmer as visibility should be better at these tracks.

Driveby will have his hands full with the 10% handicap at Motegi and potentially at Road America with those long straights.  Will be interesting to see how he performs in this week’s events.

I think brntguy has the advantage in the ovals this week as he is really strong on both Motegi and Indianapolis.  As for the road courses, its anyone’s guess but I have a feeling Max is going to be tough this week in the bendy parts and the left handers. 

I predict Driveby will maintain his series lead however the gap should  close up a bit when the night is done.

Tonight’s Schedule – 6/3/13

I have posted 2 basic tunes on my SF, an A600 and an S700.

I will open the room up @ 8:00pm est for the pre-race activities if anyone is interested.

See you on the track!

Both are same direction

Post-race Report – 6/3/13

Race 2 – Motegi Speedway:   1^st – gtFOOTw,   2^nd – Nunderw00b,    3^rd – A TRICOOTERTOPS

Race 8 – Sebring Full:   1^st – Drivebye,    2^nd - brntguy,    3^rd - Grim

The race of the night had to be Motegi Speedway (2^nd race) as the field truly was showing give & take while still racing hard.

We also had 7 different winners out of the 8 races held this week.  The handicap system in place seems to be working well as we have had 9 different winners this season and it really is anyone’s race to win each time the green flag drops. We still had a few incidents but it seemed better this week overall. And it should continue to get better each week.

Congrats to the winners this week and thanks for another great turnout.

seeker, sorry you missed the last race but I fully understand.

Pre-race Report – 6/10/13

Tomorrow the series heads to Spain for three races and the US for five.  This will also mark the first race in the R3 IROC Camaro as we run the Benchmark Speedway.

Looking at the schedule this week, it’s going to be tough to call who will come out on top when the night’s over.  Layout C and Iberian will be interesting as these are tracks that we don’t run a lot of races at and the Speedway in the R3 is a hold on to your ass kind of ride.  All that said, it’s going to be a fun night and I’m looking forward to some good racing.

Monday’s Schedule – 6/10/13

I have posted 2 basic tunes on my SF, an A600 and an R3-755 for this weeks event.

See you on the track!
