Im back guys!
Anywhoo heres the update to the main event. I led the race for a good like i want to say 15-20 minutes? And then one mistake caused me to drop down to 4th. I crashed after the kink in the straightaway. I broke the rear swaybar which made my car roll so much, upon corner exit the rear end would just start dancing. The car was extremely hard to drive but i had nothing to lose so i started pushing it. Luckily the guy sitting in 3rd broke which allowed me to move up. It was a tough race, we tried our hardest. All i can say is i had a great time and learned SO much from this event.
This sunday i will be testing out the new 960'08 @ CP, and my car will be on display at the shop for anyone interested on seeing how the new car looks. Thanks for all the support guys! It was very much appreciated!

I finished (I dont say that often enough
). The car is just amazing, it made me look good. If I hadnt made a few mistakes I might have finished a little higher up. Turns out my throtle endpoint wasnt set to open the throtle all the way up, so I had more power than I thought. All in all, I did better than I thought I would. I have to say though, I wouldnt have done as good if it wasnt for some exelent pit work by the Shermanator.
