    I had the speed to win this race. And I should have won.
    Had a great start, but no top speed. Lost 2 positions, I avoided an accident, went wide on a corner. and "you cut the track" - - drive through.. wierd stuff.

    Start the race from the 0... when I overtook Phil Brown he push me off the track in the straight, got damage... anyway P3.

    GL to @Johnny Gutierrez for the win.

    Good racing all. Told you guys I would fall back at the start. Gearing was long! To be fast during the start or be fast during the race. I chose the race. Dropped back to 8th. Came in this to race for fun and not to push myself like last race. I was behind Mark Hightree and decide to apply some pressure to see if he would flinch. No flinching occurred. So laid back on the gas and watched. Their was some battles up front and I wanted no part in them haha. Passed most everyone on the straights. Kostas Kantzouras was way up ahead. I was super happy being in second and had decided Kostas was going to win and deserved the win. Second after second, I was catching him. Caught up to him and decided I didn't want to fight. I'd just lay low and watch but then a run showed itself and I had to go with it. I did fumble in one section when my dog started dreaming and making strange noises. That through me way off then got back in the grove again.

    Kostas, no joke is fast. Good racing to all and congrats to podium and finishers. It's hard racing these, let alone finishing the race.

    Johnny,

    Congrats for the easy win Johny! That straight line speed was unbeatable. In testing I could do the same lap time with lower wing, but didn't like the way the car was handling in the tight corners, so I opted for more fun driving the twisties and avoiding slip streaming. I knew you were going to pass, so the plan was to stick behind and try to keep up, because the track ends with the tight section. That didn't work well, a lapse of concentration and I had a little off and that was that. For me it was my sleeping girlfriend making noises, LOL! Anyways, fun racing, too bad Ric had a drive through, he could have fought for the win.

    I made an amazing start and went from 5th to 1st on the first lap, but I overheated my rear tyres and spun several times. I feel like I had the pace to do a lot better than I did, and it was a real wasted opportunity. Oh well. Congrats @Johnny Gutierrez !
