Just want to say it was a problem filled race for me.
The first caution was brought out for me spinning thru the infield. I'm not quite sure what happened. I was attempting to get down to the bottom groove. My spotter had called out three wide before that and then I heard all clear so I moved to the bottom. I'm not sure if I cut someone off or got tapped. If I cut someone off I apologize.
Then while running the caution laps and coming to the green Tim spun and hit the wall which was in the middle of turn 3 and 4 I believe. Well I continued not knowing what was going on. Well when coming to the green I was notified of being ahead of the car I should be (Tim). Tim I guess got going again and was behind me. So when we took the green I received a stop and go penalty for passing before the green.
I was then off the lead lap and on a restart I was inside the leaders. I was keeping pace I thought and running pretty well. Then I was notified I was warping and just decided to pull down and escape to monitor. With the bumper to bumper racing I didn't want to cause anyone to wreck.

Thanks to everyone that has been willing to help me out thru the season and always making me feel welcome to race at OSG. See you out at the track again soon!

Hey Paul! I think we have all be there and done that lol. I am looking into this warping thing because when we are racing and someone gets into the server box it messes the whole race up. So hopefully we will have this issue fixed for the start of season 2. As far as bad nights. I have had plenty of them just like you describe lol. Keep youer chin up . You have came along ways from the start of the season ansd alot of guys have noticed that. Take care and we look forward to turning more laps.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I hope I've gained your respect on the track. I know I'm not always the fastest but I try to learn and log laps. I have really enjoyed racing with you guys even though I struggle at times with this series.
I want to thank all those that have offered help during the season!

As far the warping I'm not quite sure what is going on. I have a real good gaming computer and this is the second issue. I also had the lost connection issue at Daytona. Is there anything to help with the warping I can do on my end? Settings or anything of that sort? I just thought it was best to exit out due to the warping. The big tracks with your foot to the floor and such close racing is not the place if your warping.

Thanks again OSG!
