First Win! Ricky Bobby Style

Pretty excited about my first win in Rookie and wanted to share the crazy and also unfortunate story.

I qualified 5th, competition in the room was fairly light as many wrecked out in the first 10-15 laps. I was second place for 20 laps or so but some lap traffic ended up slowing the driver in front of me enough to be able to put pressure on him. Eventually I reeled him in to where I was beginning to try to figure out a way around him, though he blocked successfully for quite awhile. All the while, I made no contact to him, though I came close a couple of times.

Fast forward to lap 34 and I finally had the steam on the straight to drop down and begin pulling on his fender and then rear axle. We begin setting up for the turn (my nose probably at his fuel cap) and he dropped down aggressively and chopped the nose off my car sending us both into the grass and then into the wall.

We were so far ahead of the other traffic that I actually had time to throw it back into second, get myself back onto the track and somehow held it together the last 5 laps of the race to take the win.

While doing burnouts, I was greeted by the driver I had raced against as he drove straight into me, obviously intentionally. He then also sent a PM and told me "I want to let you know how bad of a driver you are."

At any rate, crazy win and unfortunate circumstances but I was able to hold it together and limp it across the finish line anyway. I wish I had thought or knew how to save the replay as I may have petitioned but it's moot at this point.

Onto class D!
