Mike is in the hospital.  He was taken yesterday as he was throwing up blood and had lost a substantial amount.  While in the ER, the hospital staff was moving him and broke his arm between the shoulder and elbow.  He is currently in CCU at St. Vincent's Hospital in Jacksonville, FL.  I will keep you updated

I'm so sorry.. As I read over my post I noticed I meant to mention something very important.. Meant to say Thank You Terry Underwood and Stan Kelly for putting together a Great Series to honor a good friend! You guys are Great people! RIP Dennis!

After the race tonight, I checked my setup and realized I forgot to put back a setting for race that I was testing in practice.   I did the driver's meeting and just forgot to go back and fix the setting.  I tested this setting and did not like it because of the twitchy steering.   Long story-short, I forgot to put this setting back to a more drivable number and struggled with the twitchy steering all night.   It seemed much worse late in the race with higher speeds and more push drafting.  It especially was a handful when I was being pushed while I was engaged to driver in front of me. 

I was also told that my side to side movement while pushing was affecting the driver in front and steering their car to some degree. 

I apologize for any issues caused by this screw-up on my part.  I feel like an idiot having such a good setup for the race and something like forgetting to change back a setting; taking me out of contention and unable to work with teammates effectively.   I gave it my best with an ill-handling car!

I was happy to see the setup, that I thought I was running made it to victory lane.  Dang you Joel!  LOL  Congrats Bud!

Sorry Guys,
Phillip Stocks

I am working through my issues and already feel better to some degree.  I have a lot on my plate right now and it is not the time to be making decisions about future plans for HDSR.  I am sure that when things calm down in my personal life, the fun factor for Sim Racing will return. 

HDSR will continue to provide the open-set venue for SCE, so ignore me on that stuff right now.  LOL  In fact, I may put together a Fun Series for Winter Season, if time permits.  I am nearing the end of 3.5 year project that has me stressed-out.  I should be done in next month or so, then I think things will be much better for me.

I appreciate your understanding!

Phillip
