Myself and a few others ran this most highest anticipated event of the race calendar last night It took most of the night but was well worth it.
What usually happens in Stockcars everyone goes up and looks at the points going into the last heat see's who is winning who is still in contention so they know who to hit and for the guys up the top the guys to try and avoid.
The points where like the following going into the last heat (remembering huge targets on the people who are high up in the standings)...
Cricketfan 45
Hard-on 45
JHRacing 44
Then a few lower 40s and higher's 38s noting that a race win gifts 26points 2nd 25 3rd 24 etc etc.
I started off the back in this race and knowing something was up with all people that aren't my greatest friends on track I hooked reverse and they all sat there with there brakes on. I duck down the outside and worked my way up battling hard with one eye fixed in front of me and one eye in the mirror with Cricketfan quite far back and I was battling with JHRacing being a good friend of mine on and off the track in real life and online, we were having a ball pushing each other wide sneaking through and we got up to 1st and 2nd with JH in 1st we just needed to finish in this order to call a run-off (4lap no holds bard 1st across the line wins). As the laps wound down I got closer and closer to JH ducking in and out of traffic and cars that where limping around the track having shots at each of us (If it were a live event it would have been super impressive!).
I got him down till about.5sec gap which is about 4 car lengths when I went around the outside of a broken car that I had talked to before hand and we had agreed that we where good with each other. To feel my car come really lose in the back end I looked back to see Cricketfan picking me up I dropped the clutch and got the car back around sideways to hit the wall sideways to prevent damage it lifted my back wheels from the ground I pulled some impressive rev's before the wheels hit the dirt and I was off like a rocket. I had dropped back to 4th place I turned into a super aggressive driver at this stage and I hit anything on my race line still maintaining some aweasome pace I got back up to 3rd and had a last ditch effort on the last corner to get 2nd but I had a few enemies there that prevented me doing that finished the race half up the wall JH was 1st BIGFERG got 2nd myself 3rd.
End results..
JHRacing 70 - 1nz
Harding 69 - 2nz
Cricketfan 62 - 3nz
Out of the 40drivers that 1st qualified to get to a 20car final then to get 2nd is totally aweasome.
Thanks to Senn out there I will return the favor good having someone willing to put there car on the line out there for ya
.
I hope this will be entertaining for you guys to read.
