Now this will be a challenge

I will not be able to join as a racer nor as a help due to school commitment (must not fail at final exam). Have fun guys.

Darn, good luck with the exam

Thanks everybody for a clean race and a great season

Overall it wasn't actually that bad on tyres,right?

Well,start of race was quite a surprise for me - everyone around was so slow,took lead in few laps time and managed to pull away slightly up to 6 seconds in 1st half of race. Unfortunately I made a mistake overestimating lifetime of tyres as I thought that they will last full tank,so I started with full. After half race I started to worry about rear tyre,played it safe and pitted for new right tyres (left ones were in good shape). If I knew this,could start with less fuel and be even faster in early race. Never tried pit entry,but if was good,little slow,but no real trouble,but managed to miss 2 pit stalls,reversed a meter in 2nd of them,costed me second or 2. After pit made one mistake by hitting wall and ganed front right damage,right after that overheated rear tyre,so I had to slow down the pace,while Flame pulled away and also Falcon overtook. After the rear cooled down,started to push,but car was very understeery due damage. No idea why Flame was so slow at end phase,but managed to pull from 12s to 2.5 in finish,considering failure at pits and damage - could be closer to win.

Thanks to all drivers and organizers for this season of Realistic Nascar.I am waiting for next season! (hope there will have)
