I could get this car to go fast for about one lap, then poof! Nice cars, I like the Escorts better!

R1: Rolled off the line ok. I looked in my "mirror", if you could call it that and saw this blob of multi-color floating around. I couldn't figure if I was looking at trackside items and fencing or several cars fighting closely. It was Eric D and he remained there for a bit. On L6 Stfan blew by as I lost it in T1, Eric followed shortly afterwards. It was about that time that I saw 6/17 at the top of the HUD and realized I had only fuel for 12 laps or so, uhoh. I was the only one driving a Ford, the LF was in the red most all the time at that point but I had to push. Eric made a boo boo on L10 at T1 and I got by and tried to make headway before pitting.

I had practiced a pitstop and set a preference for repair prior to the race. On my in lap I went over the button pushes that would be required to stop the repairs and get some gas. I also knew I had a long run on the limiter to do this as I would be pitting at the of the row. I almost got it, set the amount of fuel , removed the repairs that weren't needed and set an amount of fuel. then I blew it and unmarked the refueling just as I switched to confirm!!! Aarrghhhhh!
Oh well, a dnf!

R2: From the pole, like that's going to help me. I can't seem to hold a line through the corners on the first few laps. Eric goes by on L2 when I totally blow T1, then Darius is right behind me. I'm on the grass in the esses a couple of laps later and he's right by me as we go into the chicane. It's all downhill from there as I try to maintain my LF tire and hit the corners right.

The racing might have been better with a much larger grid. While driving the course in the race I constantly asked myself how Yves would be handling this. I don't spend time sitting in the pits looking at other drivers on the course but I do view them a little in replays and in those rare glimpses I can see some of what makes Yves the great driver that he is. I try to make use of it when I can. I'm sure many think it's his uncanny ability to get the most out of a car thru setups, while he and Keith both have cars that people drool over I know that's not it!

Well done Yves!
Thanks RD, chris and Eric E!
 
OK I scanned al 19 pages of the completely disorganized RD Skins page and came up with these skins that I believe are still available for anyone participating Friday.

If you elect not to run a skin, and are caught in a white car, automatic shotgun start from the pits for you! LOL
