I finally got my iRacing setup put back together this weekend and have been running Patriot on it. This is going to be fun.

Yep, we are looking forward to it as well. At least I think we are..assuming our car doesn't overheat again!

I'm generally on from 0745-0845; after that I have to get to work. I've been driving the Miata because the power/weight and gearing are similar to the Duff car, but I'm finding it annoying. This morning I switched back to the Jetta and had a much better time. I'm so programmed to get on the throttle early and hard coming out of a turn that I get in to trouble in anything RWD. I tried the CTS-V and was all over the place.

I think it's actually more fun CW, but either way I'm stoked.

I had a blast hooning the Duff car around the course. It's going to be interesting with 50+ cars racing on it next month.

If by interesting you mean a demolition derby, then yes. That's a tight course in places.

Had a blast, got my first taste instructing. Patriot is VERY hard on the stomach but I made it. If you can keep you lunch down there, you will be fine anywhere.

I agree Patriot was a blast with the small number of cars we had on Saturday, but as for a race with 50+ cars...no way. Patriot doesn't have many places to [safely] pass, which isn't to be confused with some fools won't try.

Good luck to you guys!

To clarify, we will not be racing next month; we're probably done until Barber in January. I agree with Ryan though, and I'm tempted to go up on Saturday just to watch.
