Since I'm stil a rookie and my SR is below, 3, I'm stuck running the legends at Lanier and South Boston. I've been knocking on the door of podiums but they've been spoiled in previuous races by 1 or two unavoidable wrecks.
We'll finally won my first race here last night, almost didn't run it as it was 3am. But 40 laps at 17-18 Secs each is only 12 minutes or so. I though What the heck. Having qualified, I was siting 6th on the grid. Ovr the course of the first few laos I was up to 3rd being pushed by the 4th pplace driver. Had run entirely clear (well a couple of 0X) from wall rubs.
My only real penalty was a 4x caused when a driver, who'd been wreaking havok in the three prrevious races lost it on the front straight away and I t-boned him. Fortunately, there was no damage done to my car (don't know why but I'll take it). The three guys in front got embroiled in other incidents and i ran the rest of the race in the last 7 laps to hold onto the lead and win.
On looking at the replay it appeared that the troublesome driver was using the keyboard from the fact that the front wheels were either full lock or straight. no wonder he couldn't drive it or felt that the car was loose the whole time (full throttle, no throttle).
I'll post a video in the next couple of days too. I'm beginning to like these legends. Now to get above three so that I can get into the street stocks again.
