Ken, I hope I was able to give Mr. Streets his money's worth!
In the last few minutes of the 6-hour event, I was in the car, and was battling desperately to keep our 10th place in the race, and the Streets Casino-sponsored car ate up basically all the TV time in the last 3 minutes of the event
For context :
The #67 of Darius Verzinskas, one of the faster guys in our series, was catching up to me like crazy after recovering from a spin, taking huge chunks of time every lap ... but it came down to the last 3 minutes.
If I am honest, I have never been so terrified/excited/focused as I was in these last few laps of the race. Most of the time I was ~2 seconds a lap slower than #67 , but I set the 3 fastest laps I ever ran on that track in the last 5 laps of the race ... trying to desperately keep him behind me.
Silly context #2, in case you are confused by the joking back and forth :
- The Irish commentator, Eoin (pronounced "Owen"), is team-mates with #67, and has a cat named 'Mustang'.
- The Scottish commentator, Chris, was being trolled by one of the top teams by having his face plastered on the hood of their car. The other commentators spent most of the 6-hour event trying to constantly get the TV cameras to zoom in on the (admittedly unflattering) paint scheme

Great stuff, Reg. Congrats on the fine showing.
I've noticed these popping up on my YouTube feed after watching your race a few weekends ago, but I couldn't bring myself to watch a 6 hour race. Glad for the short clip at the end, though!

This was a great race, Reg! Thank you for sharing. I've heard Mr. Streets is pleased to get so much air time in the last 3 minutes! Also that looked absolutely thrilling to be a part of. Really impressed by the passion that you guys put in to your racing sims! Very cool, indeed.Trendsetters wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 10:12 pm Ken, I hope I was able to give Mr. Streets his money's worth!

It was really cool to have Streets take his car for a spin around the Florida stadium during the championship party!Farstriders wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 6:41 pmThis was a great race, Reg!
