It was a pretty good battle though. I clung to Tony as best as I could, all the while watching the mirrors for Justin. Once Justin disappeared (doh!) it took some pressure off and I tried to push harder to catch Tony. He had a few bobbles here and there but held on to it. I got to within 0.4 on the 2nd to last lap and tried really hard to push while staying under control... and just didn't have anything left. Not without a hail-mary pass anyways. I figured I'd rather finish P2 than try for P1 and wreck us both out.

If anybody is bored tomorrow (and not participating themselves) Justin and I are on team HPTuners.com with a few PCA friends of mine. Feel free to spectate 
We're not going for the win at the "Roar" but will hopefully learn some good stuff and do well at the real deal...

Sucks that we got taken out in the 1st hour. We should do some practices in between now and the real race. Get our pitstops down and get some safe setups working.

Justin I'm planning to jump back on in a little bit, maybe 15-20 minutes. We've got a set that feels pretty good, we made some changes today. Not the fastest set (my usual set is probably .5-.6s faster) but it's very consistent. I ran a complete tank of fuel (26g) through it and my laps were within a few tenths across the entire session. Feels like a good endurance setup.

Wow - reading through this thread. You guys are serious!
I've been using iRacing now for about a month in preparation for a PCA club race at Sebring in order to learn the track. I've never been.
Now that I don't fly off on every turn I wanted to try racing people on Sebring but it looks like it is not as easy as that. I've poked around on the iRacing website but it is pretty confusing.
Is there any way to enter a race on a specific track? iRacing was trying to get me to qualify at Interlagos. That sounds cool but I don't want to learn Interlagos right now - I want to learn Sebring.
Any help with navigating this?

Yes, go into the Hosted section, these are independent hosted sessions and not what iRacing is hosting (the official races). You look for the ones that are open to the problem and have the track and car you want to run, finally make sure is a race and not just practice, you can see how long the practice/qualifying/race times. Or just host a race yourself, it only costs like $1 for 2hr session.
We have a practice tomorrow night at Daytona but is just a 2hr practice. Wed. evenings are our races. We did Sebring a few weeks back.
Oh if you want to join the league you have to send your iRacing name to one of the admins here to send you an invite.

Once I get a little better I'll see about joining the league.

I did a run at Daytona this morning. Tires felt good for the whole run and I was doing 1:47.8ish on average for lap times. No laps over 1:50, and none in the 1:46s. 56 second pit stop and 31 laps on a full tank. Burkey hopped into the session and did some laps with me at the end of the stint, so that was nice to see a familiar car out there. My setup still gets loose on corner exit after about 10 laps, but only on the slow speed corners, so I think it might be a shock or spring rate issue.

car is very stable and does not deteriote much, played with spring rates a lot made a big difference with not much wing.

That's a great time and was still holding the top of the chart when I left. I love setting the hottest time in a session... really I love it. But I think that's what's been messing with my racing recently. I've been dialing the car in like a time trial car and sacrificing race pace. That used to work ok for me when I would put in the time to refine the race pace too, but I haven't been doing that. Old habits die hard I guess.
