That's the thing... I saw a white flag. Then a checkered on the next lap!
Took it easy around turn 1 and 2, then #115 passed me at race pace. Just to make sure, I caught up to him and passed him on Turn 6, passed the finsh line with the waving checkered again! I thought that had to be it. Race pace around the track again, until turn 8, stuck my foot out and pitted. Then #115 goes down the straight at race pace again. Then I was really confused.
Looked at the sheets, and said 7 out of 8 laps for me.
To be honest, that was my first race weekend. I'm still learning. Regardless, it was fun, wouldn't change it for the world.
