TeamNORCA Truck Race 8-24-2005

...when this mess happened. There were quite a few trucks battling for the win within a few hundreths of a second of each other, and somebody got loose, a few trucks bounced off of each other, and amazingly, I threaded my way thru the accident to finish 4th, I was running 8th or 9th before the accident. DroctorK won the race under caution.
...when this spin brought out the caution. The 69 truck got loose and then got some more help from the 8 truck, and that spun him around. We had another green flag run until the next to final lap of the race...
FINALLY, after my mess that was the last caution for a while. We had a nice green flag run until lap 38...
And after the restart for the previous crash, I brought out the caution yet AGAIN. On cold tires, I couldn't hold it thru turn 2, and unfortunatly I also collected 2 other trucks in my crash. Thank goodness after that, I did not crash again for the remainder of the race.
And after the restart the field made it amazingly to turn 2 this time! Here the 97 truck of rewster goes for a ride thru the grass.
After the green flag flew again, the field only made it to turn 1 this time before something happened. On cold tires, it was hard to control the trucks. Here the 33 truck of Banditt goes for a spin after getting loose coming out of turn 1.
...and it happened here. I got loose and made contact with the 81 truck of Sherlock, who went for a little spin.
The above photo is of the field diving off into turn 1 on the first lap, and with the field that tight it only took 1 more turn before the first caution...

The TeamNORCA Truck Series visited the Pocono International Speedway on August 24th, 2005, and it was a good race, it took a while to finally get some green flag racing in, but the race ended with a crash on the next to last lap. The above pic is of the field during the pace lap before the green flag was thrown, and suprise suprise, Jason35 sat on the pole.

TeamNORCA Busch Race 8-20-2005

Well, I have no pics of the race, because brillaint me forgot to save the replay. It held at the Michigan International Speedway, and it was a great race, I led my first laps of the current points season in the early goings. There was fierce fighting for the lead all night, with a big pack at the front at the end of the race. The caution came out with 2 laps to go, and the 51 car of Smartracer won the race. I finished 9th, 1 lap down, myself and several other drivers got screwed because we came down pit road under the green and the caution came out when we were pitting. I had a car capable of winning, as did several other drivers. A very exciting race indeed.

TeamNORCA Truck Race 8-17-2005

Jason35 and Speedy19 ran away with the race, leaving the rest of the field literally in dust. Jason35 held off a late race charge by Speedy to hang on to the win, scoring his 2nd win of the current points segment. Great job Jason!
The pic above is of the field entering turn 3 on the first lap. After that the field was too dispersed to get a good photo.
The above pic is of the field entering turn 1 after taking the green flag for the start of the race.


The TeamNORCA Truck Series visited the road course at Infineon on August 17, 2005. And as always with trucks on a road course, it was a interesting race. Heres some pics of us goofing off during practice...

TeamNORCA Truck Race 8-10-2005

TeamNORCA visted the Talladega superspeedway Wedsnday, but the race did not count as almost 75% of the field lost their connections with 3 laps to go. The race will be made up later in the schedule.

TeamNORCA Busch Race 8-6-2005

This turned out to be the winning pass...err...crash if you will, lol. The 97 car of rewster accidentally got into the back of the leader, and spun him around. The green flag waved again with 2 laps to go, setting up a 2 lap shootout between myself and rewster for the win. He clung to the lead for the final two laps, winning the first official race of the season. I came home quite content with a 2nd place finish.

In the two screenshots above, it shows the ugly side of sim racing. The 55 car wrecked me twice under caution, after which he was promptly ejected from the race. Thank goodness I did not stay on my roof, I eventually came back down on all 4 tires.




Saturday, August 6th, 2005, saw the TeamNORCA Racing League visit the Indianapolis Raceway Park for their first points race of the season. It was a caution filled race, but it had a nail biting ending. The pics above show some of the racing action (and wrecking, lol)

TeamNORCA Truck Series 8-3-2005

And this was a pic of my late race battle with rew97. We passed each other many times during the last 20 laps of the race. Awesome racin rew!
This picture above is of the truck of JMcGraw, who spun on the frontstretch and flipped onto his roof then his side and finally back on all 4's again.

The 2 pics above show how tight the field was during the race. As for the upper picture, that is not a good feeling at all to be facing backwards with all those trucks coming at you, LOL.



What a truck race it was!! We had a large field, 17 trucks strong, which provided for awesome racing action all race long. Competition was so tough, nabbing a top 5 finish was a struggle. I had a late race battle with Rew...ster and PTR Superford, I finished 7th. There were quite a few wrecks during the race, the most notable being the first caution, when Jason35 spun and collected the 98 truck of Dad98. Jason35 went for a wild ride, tumbling over many times. He had such a vicious crash that he was forced to retire from the race. Unfortunatly, I do not have any pics of the crash, as my PC only allowed everything from lap 20 onward to be saved.
