Re: iRacing broadcasts

Eldora with the sprint cars did not produce the same kind of interesting racing that the trucks did on the dirt road courses. I have to learn how to get better on the starts, manage the wing adjustments as the track changes, and be able to manage a pass. I was keeping up with P4 until I tagged the i...

Re: 2023 iRacing - Other

If you can stay in the draft it’s like NASCAR Talladega - big pack and anyone can lead. It’s insane the speed differential in the draft. With small car counts it’s not the best but if you get 20-30 cars it can be interesting

Video update #4: https://youtu.be/xAnePWTFsic

I have some new video editing software and this video is the guinea pig. I trimmed over 10 minutes out of this from the raw clips. I have not tried any of the extra effects yet.

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Obtaining parts • Made a trip to Pull a Part to get the front bumper and replacement part of the frame and the frame to bumper end plates – these parts are blue as you will see in the pics IMG_0906.JPG IMG_0908.JPG • Put an order in for upper radiator support. Should have been easy, but many seller...

Re: iRacing broadcasts

Spa race with ChampCar iRacing started with me getting wrecked in T1 lap 1, then another crash going down the hill where everyone just stopped because someone was driving a broken car slowly down the middle of the track, capped off with me short filling the car and needing a second pit stop. There w...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

quick update: Another video from last week https://youtu.be/GyMyypc6K9w this one is more in depth on how I'm straightening and fitting one of the metal structure components.
