Week 13 Ridiculousness and Tube Frame Twister are the only series that I have any interest in this week. Both include the Street Stock car and are unranked.

I ran a couple practices with the street stock. They are a blast to drive. Hopefully I can hop into a race with them.

I entered a Tube Frame Twister race @ Okayama Wednesday evening. I didn't even make it to braking for Lap 1 Turn 1 before getting plowed because a car spun out on the launch, Super Drivers don't look ahead or have really slow brains and I sustained so much damage that I needed a tow. I almost quit but a new car with the delay for a tow would probably put me in reach of other cars but a lap down so I waited however long that was and got going only to get plowed at T1 because two cars had tangled there and one of those cars decided to have a demolition derby at T1 to give race ending damage to at least three cars counting the Blind Mouse that came flying in there after me. A total of maybe 150 yards, two cars destroyed.

The unranked races not going on my permanent record takes most of the sting out of it. I've had Week 13s when every race was a joke and unbelievably at the time, nothing but clean races.
I did some set up and practice laps before a race last night and that went much better, not totally clean and I avoided a couple of divebombs that would have been collisions but otherwise clean.
It might be possible to run back-to-back races, missed the next race by a couple of minutes. I'll probably try for that tonight with Street Stock if I have the track. I'm probably going to abstain from buying Mugello until I need it, have heard that it's very demanding graphically but there was something not right with iRacing yesterday that included horrible graphics so maybe there's more going on there than just Mugello.

I raced the Pro 2 lite trucks at the figure 8 track. Didn't qualify & started 3rd to last. No practice beforehand either. I escaped many crashes & moved up to 1st after 1/2 distance. During the final laps, I had 2-3 guys trying to take me out. I finished in 1st. There were only 5 or 6 drivers left from a field of 24 I think. What a blast.

I was able to back to back a few races with the Street Stock @ Laguna Seca, maybe because I got taken out before the finish and I quit. I might try again today but most likely I'm done.
