Just did my first Skippy race of the season, and it was an absolutely awesome race. There were 3 of us leading the race all within a second of each other for the first part of the race. One guy spun out when we went three wide down the back straight (Watkins). Me and the other guy spent the rest of the race racing super close, changing positions a few times. He came first in the end, but we finished 15 sec ahead of the rest of the field.
Hopefully I can have lots of those kinds of races :D
e: second race was even better. Three of us within a second for the whole race. Got passed on the last lap, and I couldn't find a safe way back past. Getting put in higher splits now, so not sure how long I'll be competitive. I was the only D class in that race.
.e2: Well, second day was a bit of a disaster. I wrecked someone for the first time, and retired from a race for the first time. Being put with racers much, much more experienced than myself. I'm able to keep my times relatively competitive, but having to push super hard to do so, and making silly mistakes as a result. Pretty pleased with this race (though that is the race I wrecked JAY BEASLEY. Tiny little knock on his right rear turned him around :( ). Managed to keep it together enough to have a good close race with someone much better than myself. Had a big slide in the last corner of the penultimate lap that lost me the lead unfortunately.
Retired from my complete disaster of a final race. I think that will put me back in lower splits, which is good and bad.
Comfortably leading the Div. 4 championship, though I don't expect that to last too far past this track ;)
