[quote="Big Al"]Team Google started the race together and we finished together...funny thing is we hardly saw each other during the race, apart from when wideload punted me entering pits

At the speed you were going you wouldnt have made the pits.

Well, what an interesting race. As I've exceeded my data cap and roll over date is the 24th, I'm currently throttled to a speed of @56k

so decided not to use Ventrillo this week and just have the game.

And not having Vent makes it very interesting ! A lot harder to read the mind of the driver in front. But still fun.

Were there many crashes ??? Spotter seemed to be very quiet on the race track, only called out a couple - well compared to the Riki race from the week before when he would've lost his voice.

It's nice to drive with a nice wheel now, so had some good team racing for a while. I think I owe an apologies to Jay for me pulling out of the pits onto the race line suddenly - the ol' glance in the mirror and nothing there, quick check of F2 looks clear, glance in the mirror again and suddenly there's someone

Last pitstop, something went weird. Entered it as 3rd, came out at 9th but I just got gas and tyres. Oh well. And some nice racing with Riven for the last few laps - nice and challenging. On the very last corner, I tried just a touch too hard thinking I could get you on the exit of the corner and squealed away most of my right front.

A 4th ! Yee har, best of season so far. And makes up for the embarrassing failures earlier in the season.

Was running sweetly, car felt good, made up some spots by avoiding the first ding, then the effing game CTD's.

Rejoined but by that stage I lost 3 laps. Still, my 31st position still beat Flyboy though

Great come back wood!

I try holding you off but you were just to fast.

Had my best race so far started was in the top 10 all day apart from when I made a pit stop. Seemed to in a battle with theboldone for most of the race.

I was thought I was going to get 5th but then I took the white flag and all I could see in my mirrors was the blue and white of wood try holding him off going into turn 3 he just drove around still finished 6th my best result

And more importantly IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m pretty shore that IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not going to get a penalty

See ya next week in Miami

Job training comes before Games....LOL

Yes the DuDs may extend their lead, unless you guys have some disasters, not wishing you any ill-luck of course, we don't operate like that.

I have to say that was in my opinion the cleanest Nascar race I've ever been in

I only had to dodge other cars twice in the whole race

I spent most of the race in about 4th place looking good for a decent finish untill after the last pit.. I just wasn't driving fast enough in my last stint, wore my tyres to quickly and watched Riven, Wood, Bazz, and Murphy drive past and get away.. Still, 8th is about the best finish I've had this season

Ive got no complaints this week Murphy, you drove well

Of what I saw of your driving, well done

It was a clean - normal - race by a lot of people, as it should be.
