    I had my first D class race "weekend" yesterday at Tsubuka in the Miata. First race I qualified mid pack, start went ok, but in the 4th or 5th corner some Italian jackass nailed me in the left rear quarter and took us both off track. I then spun into the wall and took someone else with me. The hood blew off the car and I continued, but the car was slower. It actually handled better with the damage, it felt like it was down on power so I had to compensate by getting on the gas earlier and earlier, braking later, but for some reason it was less tail happy and turned in better. Finished 5th.

    I raced again the next hourly race, and had a clean start and worked my way to 3rd. I was right on the bumper of the 2nd place guy for the last few laps, he made some mistakes, but so did I. Basically I was trying to get around him which didn't leave me in a position to capitalize when he made a mistake- and he made a few. But it was good to bring it home clean and have my safety rating go up significantly.

    Never had any problems with Italian drivers. Iberia , and South America are the worst.
    Think they own the track and will wreck you without hesitation.

    We have just a couple races left in our GT4 season. I'll put this together for a night after that. Sometime towards the end of May.

    The more names someone has, the worse the driver. Without fail. 2 names, hit or miss. 3 names, insane. 4 names, just quit youre done.

    If Juan, had one name, would Juan be as good as the other ones? Considering how much Juan, has already won? One wonders.

    If you've followed his career, you should know the answer. I like him, but would not want him on my tail.
    If you watch any of the iRacing IROC races, he's in them.

    Racing midgets tonight at 7pm Central. You can watch it live at the Powri TV facebook page. I am hoping that this week goes well. I am pretty good at this track. It will all come down to how clean people run. I don't hold too much hope in that. Ha.

    62476EF8-EDDE-4BB6-9E59-882A37E9B593.jpeg Your rig looks a bit nicer then my completely cobbled together monster. But it did cost me a grand total of $60 to build. Including the seat.

    I have mine setup for midget and sprintcar racing. That is why the steering wheel is layed down like that. But man, it is an improvement on a desk chair and a desk.

    I find I drive the dirt stuff far better if I have the wheel like the old midget we have. Just more natural feeling.
