CTS: Atlanta

Thanks for letting me sneak in fellas. I needed the laps. Sorry to Andrew. We got together. I was down as far as I could go Andrew (I think it was you?). Sorry there wasnt more room. And thanks to Jim Barisoff for the last minute setup help.

The most happy I have been with a 4th place race ever, really pumped I finally fucking finished one!

Grats to the always strong Chris'sss and Mr. Peeler for their podiums.

Anyhow was happy to qualify 9th in this competitive bunch never could have got to a .1 wtf! lol. Race start I was super cautious and a few got by in first laps, I let the tires get up to temp and started trying to stay with my pack but not burn the tires up. Managed to get by a few after some laps maybe from conserving RF some, IDK. Ran the stint out for a few laps longer than the front group and led a few laps :)
Second stint was all about trying to catch Mark, he must have had at least some small damage as I was able to pull him down throughout the second stint but didn't have an open chance near the end for a pass. Besides I didn't want to try and pass and screw us both he helped me alot with setup, and I really appreciate it Mark - Cheers :)

Bah! One of the worst races of my life.

Truck was awful in first and second gear so I got a driving to slow penalty. Thus, the field did not know what to do causing the back end to lose contact.

I then lost focus and nailed the dog leg wall spinning into Barry. Apologies Barry it was out of my hands at that point.

The toe was wrecked on the car so I ended up hitting the back stretch wall and pitting.

The truck then handled well until I CTD'd sending me into the t1 wall.

I tend to not want to remember the race from that point let alone any of what happened here tonight.

LOL AT THE GUY ON TOP OF ME!!! HE HE HE ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well that was some what of a ugly race from my view point. Dodging wreaks left and right until my luck ran out and hit a guy sliding down the track after he tried 3 wide and spun himself out then went up the track in 3 came back down backwards (almost like he didn't wanna hold it up there)and by the time I got there, had no where to go and plowed right into him on lap 12.. still manage to finish the race a get a top 20 heh.
Please, if u wreaked and know your out of it, hit escape. Don't let ur vehicle roll anywhere then escape out.

yea,i got a black flag stop and go on the start a product of Guzman's problems no problem stuff happens had a good truck though not a winning truck but fought back to a 14th had some good races with some guys everybody drove real clean and hard had a lot of fun,congrats to Chris for the win and everyone else for a good race.

Congrats again Mr. Barnes.

My race went well and i'm happy with my result. I had worked on my setup and thought I had a winning one based on the lap times from a month ago, but 10 others found a better pase as well.. ;-). My qualy effort stunk pretty bad, but i knew i had a decent truck and was just keep my fingers crossed for some luck!

Ryan, you did have me a little worried those last couple laps.. I wasn't sure when you pitted and how much tire you had left.. I figured if i kept it on the bottom i'd be really hard for you to get around.. ;-) You're welcome for the setup help buddy..

I had a pretty good setup, and knew the race was pretty much mine to lose barring any problems and not wearing my stuff out. Got toward the end and went around Chris and up in front of Joseph after he wiggled a bit in turn 3. Saw Chris back there following Joseph saving his stuff a lil bit for the run to the finish and with about 10 to go, Joseph broke it loose and Chris was right there and found the wall which pretty much gave it to me with no effort at all. I guess I'll take em however I can get him these days. Pretty rough racing overall and really hard to get a win with all the fast cars now.

Are we supposed to stay on apron till backstretch after exiting pits?? That's not what I saw happening.

And we were all asked to enter the pits from the back straight...well that didn't happen either. :-/
