Got Promoted to Class A on roads, and Class B on the ovals!

Had so much fun last week in Impala COT Class A car.

In week 1 its off to Daytona in the Riley or Radical at sebring, both places im confident with do feel bit nervous though!

Also being class A road i need no promotions, so I can drive what I like long as my SR finishes over 2SR at end of the season!

My aim for the season is to mainly score more championship points and get my irating over 2000!

In ovals this week we at at Homestead, and it looks very hard to try out, requires decent setup that i yet to find!

Ended up doing some TT sessions in the Chevy, to get over 4SR

Ended up doing same thing TT’s in the Radical to get over 4SR.

I then started trying out the Riley I had a few weeks ago, for coming season.

My results for last season.

Radical div10 finished 6th

Skips finished in around 33rd but wasnt my main series but I did get lot of wins and top 5 places.

Ovals wasnt great, I never liked trucks much, but did get my 1st top 5 finish a week ago!, which was a sign of things to come!

Overall good season.
My focus in Season 2 will be DP/Radical and the Impala New B Class and A Class.

]]> http://www.burtoner.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=238 0 Update on Private Leagues http://www.burtoner.com/blog/?p=231 http://www.burtoner.com/blog/?p=231#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 12:38:28 +0000 admin http://www.burtoner.com/blog/?p=231 iRacing Insiders Night, Dave Kaemmer answered members questions ina chatroom format and some more detail came to light regarding private leagues;

What will be the league structure and how will it affect the service?

The idea is currently that anyone will be able to administer a league, and the admin will be charged a nominal fee, to keep the numbers reasonable. The membership will be limited to 30 or so drivers, so sessions can run for the most part without splits. Also, the track schedule will have to follow one of the Official Series schedules, but any car can be chosen by the admin. And one more thing, no iRating, or SR effects during league races. Drivers will only be able to participate in one league race a week, although in any league that they have been invited to.

First, there will be an open chat hosted by none other than Dave Kaemmer. This will be followed by a race where you will find many of the iRacing staff joining the members for some wheel-to-wheel competition.

Dave will be hosting a chat room opening at 7:30 EDT where iRacing members are welcome to ask Dave anything. What’s new on the service? Any changes to driving physics planned? Will Dave be doing any real world racing this year? This is your opportunity to ask Dave whatever is on your mind.

After the chat join the iRacing staff in the 8:15 EDT race in the Skip Barber Race Series. Dave and many other staff members will be joining this race session so you’ll have a good chance of running on track with some of the people who have created iRacing. Remember, this is an official race so drive like you normally would. As always, the sporting code is in effect.

Unfortuanatly for me I was working late that night:(
