Today was the last day of practice for all of us. We have to do our qualifying laps tomorrow, as well as a heat race. I think I have the pace to win the main event right now, but it isn’t showing on the timer. We are running on some very old tires right now, and I am struggling to hold the mid corner speed that the fast guys are carrying. Connor seems to be having the same problem as I am at the moment, so it makes me feel a bit better, because he is on old tires as well.
All I can do right now is to keep hitting my marks, and wait for all of the fast lap bull crap to stop! The races are much different than qualifying or practice; and the races are my strong point. I am confident that I will get my quick lap in qualifying tomorrow.
I have about 3 fast guys in my group, so it should be a bit easier to stay up front. I don’t know what the system is for the races, because there are 6 different heat races this weekend, rather than 4 like at the Ford Festival.
Anyways, I will probably play some poker with the team tonight, and hopefully win some cash to make me feel better! I’m going to go get my car teched for the weekend. Talk to you later!
