OK, Charlotte results and crap

Calum Huges started on the pole for what would turn out to be an exciting race. Early on, the lead shuffled like mad between many drivers, and not much happened until the first wave of green-flag stops on Lap 31. Alex Valentine comes out of the pits in the lead and him and James Stein battle for the lead. The first caution flag comes out on Lap 40 for a collision between Jonzu Goldstone, Max Timber, and Garry Orilla which also included several other drivers, including Jack Steadman, who just couldn't seem to catch a break this season. Shockingly, Chase Spader wins the race off pit road, but Stein stayed out and led the field to the green flag. Andrew Baker, who had come from 22nd to 4th in the first 40 laps, moved up front to lead until Kerry Grocutt passed him. Grocutt led for 15 laps before being passed by Alex Valentine on Lap 58. Tim Sauter passes him on lap 63 and the lead shuffle continues. Shaun McConnell, a surprise so far, manages to move into the lead and fight Sauter for it, but misses out on leading the lap by .001 seconds. He is then passed by Alex Valentine before the next lap, which means he effectively hadn't led a lap. On lap 71 green-flag stops begin again, and during them Timothy Johnson collides with Victer Segal. This collision sends Johnson into the grass and he spends almost a lap repairing damage. Valentine leads by a hefty 2.3 seconds after stops, but a group of driver including Sauter, McConnell and Baker were catching him by about .15 seconds every lap. Shaun McConnell grabs 2nd on lap 91 as the group approaches Valentine. Around this point, James Stein sadly retires due to a mechanical failure. On lap 95 McConnell finally leads a lap, and then five laps later a caution comes out for a collision involving one of his teammates, Alex Campbell (it is a pretty big wreck though). Baker leads the pack off pit road. Shane Graysen, Alex Campbell, Will Harvey and Cael Ashby retire after the caution, and Timothy Johnson retires during the caution laps due to an engine failure. Baker leads on the restart with no trouble, but Sauter grabs the lead back on lap 111 with his lapped teammate, John Mickel, in between first and second. Toyota Panasonic Racing sneaks into the top 10 at this point with their two drivers that aren't Marcus Rossi. A big battle for second emerges between Sam Quirrel and Andrew Baker while Sauter comfortably leads. The top 10 cars brawl for position as well. On lap 131 green flag stops begin, and when they finish Baker leads followed by David Jones and Sauter. Jones has a powerful car at this point though, and he takes the lead on lap 138 while Baker drops to fourth. Sauter takes the lead after Jones is held up by his own teammate, Marcus Rossi. Baker moves back into second, but Jones passes him, rushing back to the front. With 15 laps to go, a caution comes out for a hard collision between Raymond Flask and Shaun McConnell where McConnell's car flips over. No one pits, not with the race on the line, and Andrew Baker is leading the field. With 10 to go the race restarts and you can feel the tension when the cars reach top speed. David Jones takes the lead only one lap after the restart and he holds the lead in front of Sam Quirrel and Maku Sawaki as Baker drops to fourth and battles Bryce King for the spot. Jones is passed by Quirrel and Sawaki and drops all the way to eighth. Sawaki gives it everything he's got to try and secure the first win for his team, but he can't quite do it and Sam Quirrel wins his first race of the year, and the second for Team Banana. Congratulations to Squirrel_Monkey!

Tied with Jonzu again...

[Badnik96]

Well after 027 decided that he was upset with his performance I let him work around his driver ratings a little, so don't be surprised if his cars score some poles from now on.

Of course most of the pole sitters eventually get wrecked out of the race...

Pretty sure it randomly sets the field when skipping qualifying.

[Badnik96]

027's always started in the back, and it's the same cars that always start up front.

Dover

Tim Sauter nabbed the pole for Dover, and it was a rather boring race early on, nothing really going on on the track. Marcus Rossi surprises by not failing at the beginning, but then he scrapes the wall around lap 20 and kills any momentum he was carrying. Jack Steadman, running in second since the green flag dropped, is unable to get close enough to pass the dominant Sauter. Green flag stops begin on lap 38 and Sauter emerges with a huge lead over most of the pack. Several cars get lapped, mostly stragglers. Sauter continuously increases his lead on Steadman until the second wave of stops, when Steadman manages to emerge up front with a 2.3 second lead. However, Sauter is slowly catching him, and by lap 112 Sauter has passed Steadman for the lead. On lap 117 was the third wave of stops with Howard Owler surprisingly leading the race, Sauter back in fourth. It looks like Owler has the race wrapped up as no one can catch him with six laps remaining. Then, the first and only caution of the race is thrown when Cael Ashby wrecks. Several cars including Owler pit as they are low on fuel, and Steadman leads them to the restart. However, he and half the pack have to pit as they are out of fuel and are unable to go 2 laps, so Owler recaptures the lead going into the white flag. However, David Juchem jumps Owler going into turn 1 and he passes Owler for the lead, and despite everyone else's best efforts Juchem wins the race at Dover by a short margin over Ralph Thompson. Congrats to Wafflez!

Ahem, Badnik.

[Badnik96]

If I had time I'd do another race, but I don't
