As drivers we all know it takes alot of effort,skill, extreme concentration and sometimes just pure luck to survive a race unscathed let alone trying to win. But as alot of us do have the skill and luck to do such a task it would be nice to see how well others are doing and recognise their skills as drivers and post them here for warm congratulations and im sure alot of jealousy as well as admiration.

Ive had a handful of wins in both oval Rookie and D-class and a few wins in rookie road. Really looking forward to my first Road D-Class win and cant wait to get into the C-class cars. Sometimes its just had to get that rating up.....



Well my lastest Win was last night, Laguna Seca in the solstice. I really love this track alot, im down to a qualifying time of 1:50 and usually start at Pole there now in that car.

Well i got a good start leading into the first corner but got a little overzealous and started to slide on the cold tires. Heading into the second corner with 2nd place kissing my rear, i oversteered into the dirtbut kept it straight and didnt loose control. As i safely re-entered the race track letting 4 cars pass i berrated myself and again put my head down and went for it. Easily catching the group and tailing them into the last corner into the main straight they wrecked and i slid nicely up the inside into 2nd place before the end of lap 1.

Sitting behind 1st the whole lap felt like an eternity, he was slower than me but was making his car very wide and hard to pass. Coming into the last corner onto the main straight i made my move by ducking in the inside and late braking catching him out and taking 1st place by end of 2nd lap.

I never looked back and won the race with a 14 second lead.
