First A class race!

This week started the iRacing 2021 seasons.  It also marked when I am allowed to enter A class races.  To start of the 2021 iRacing season 1, I jumped into a class A Cup series fixed race tonight at Atlanta.  I drew car #21 out of 28, so I was a little concerned about how I would run.

I qualified 11th and moved to 8th after a very early caution.  That turned out to be the only caution in the race.  

Ran between 10th and 13th most of the race.  Ended up 11th after somebody in front of me got wrecked on the last lap.  Definitely not my best run, but no incident points and survived.

SR:  3.31
iRating: 1475

After 126 races....I can finally call myself a iRacing oval winner!

 Finally.

 

8+ months..

 126 starts.

 I  finally did it.

 I finally won an iRacing oval race.

It wasn't pretty, and I most likely made some enemies.

Ran a Truck race at Nashville Fairgrounds speedway.  Qualified 10th and was able to avoid most of the carnage and was running top 5 when a caution came out with 6 to go.

Everyone in front of me pitted.  I stayed out.

On the ensuing restart, I was trying to defend my lead and door slammed the truck to my inside (definitely wasn't trying to) which set off a huge wreck.  It basically destroyed half the field and spurred a huge fight in the chat over how stupid the next guy was for being involved.

I stayed out as the leader again.  

On the next restart (one attempt at G/W/C) I made it to the backstretch as the leader when the yellow came out.

 So I won.

My SR took a beating as I ended with a 10x for it.

But I finally have a one under the win column.

SR dropped 0.18 to 3.06, but still have my A license.

iRating climbed to 1421.

 Now that I have my 1st, wins get easier now, right?
