Avalon


My first podium finish with rFR League and the race doesn't count. Not enough guys present to make the event. Rulebook says so, and I have no fight. I would have moved up the standings to ninth place if the result was official. Oh, well. Not my fault only seven drivers lined up. But still, I will remember this race as one of my betters. Thank You Racing Gods for this chance.

There is one more race before the season ends and if I work for it, maybe I can still get ninth place overall. If at least ten guys show up for the event. I try to care but I fail. Nowadays, this is all I got.

The Ghost of Sebring whispers in my ear, "Get the point and you will be top ten." What a chance it is, because with three races to go, the dabblers and dilettantes have given up on this season. Recently, the grid has been smaller and so the chance to score points is greater. I hope to finish this season in 9th place, a far cry from the meager 4 points I scored all of last season.

I discovered a huge problem with my rig. The gas pedal flickers; I guess the hardware is fighting the good fight. Well, it has been more than 5 years since my last controller upgrade. Right now, I just max out the software sensitivity to compensate for the error. I lose some fine throttle control, but at least I'm sure I'm flat-out on the high speed sections.
