I thought that getting in the higher splits, even in the rookie races would get some cleaner racing and help me push my SR up to 4.0 and in season promotion to "d" license. Not so. I;d had a couple of days away from home and racing which meant that I came back to a new track for both the legends (Lanier) and the street stock (Stafford, thank goodness as Sobo in the streetstock is undriveable). My SR was a 3.67 so it should be an easy jump two clean legends, 1 clean street stock and a full time trial should get me there. Not so.
Here's how it went.
> Legends Lanier (6x of which all were caused by unavoidable wrecks by drivers right in front of me letting cars drift around the track after the wreck) - Split 3 of 8 no SR hit but no gain either.
> Street Stock Stafford (6x caused by an idiot who managed to rack up 16x by the end of the first lap) - split 1 of 2 this was a goods split with a couple of 3000 Irated drivers in it but still a wreck fest).
> Legends Lanier (16x, ouch! all the same unavoidable drifting wrecks and drivers who seem to thing that they should get to use the whole of the track when passing) this was the killer -0.17.
> Time trial (0 incidents but 105laps but only 0.08 gain).
> Legends Lanier (i shoudl have gone to bed, 10x same old story -0.07)
I don't wan't to run just TT's as I'm here to race. I just wish that people would take a bit more care. Then again, no wonder their safety rating is so low. Perhaps Iracing should think about splitting by SR as well as Irating.
Hmm, I feel better now, hope that I have a better night! lol
