iRacing Star Mazda @ Road America [08:37]
Season 1 of 2011 and week 8 of the Star Mazda series Division 7. Started 8th on the grid and was not expecting much from this race, I had been struggling all week. So the race is underway and I manage to battle my into 2nd place and gaining time on 1st . I get about 11 laps into the race and blow my engine GAMEOVER. The reason was is because Road America is such a fast track with 3 large straights. so there is a lot of downshifting from high speeds and if you do not just time it right the engine will pop.

That three at-the-wire finishes can be deceptive. That anyone who penciled in Charismatic, the courageous Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, as the best of his generation needs an eraser. That Menifee's trainer, Elliott Walden, concluded a day that those with professional horse fantasies dream about. Less than an hour before Menifee ran down a pair of West Coast speedsters here, Walden's Ecton Park romped in the mud and ran away from a Grade II Jim Dandy field at Saratoga Springs. ''I knew he had won at the eighth pole,'' Walden said of Menifee's fifth career victory, his third this year, to move the colt's earnings past $1.5 million. The 33056 people who braved gloomy skies and early-morning showers may not have been so sure. The Derby and Preakness runner-up, Menifee still trailed a game Cat Thief, who was neck to neck with a determined Forestry in the stretch.
