That was some serious snap oversteer on exit. Good save by both, especially camera car.

Man that was close. Clarke definitely owes you a 12 pack.

Nice evasive move! Sounds like he didn't engage a gear?

That was an excellent save. He did buy you a beer after you showed him the video I hope.

I think you are right. Maybe it was a 2nd to 1st instead of 2nd-3rd.

He was nice enough to give the position back once I finally caught back up....then he kicked my **** on the two full yellow restarts and was lIke 3 or 4 cas ahead each time....didn't get him back till late in the race.
Didn't realize how bumpy it was out there. Several dips and holes.. ended up with a busted front chin/bumper from the gtound.....but could have been much worse just glad we didn't touch...that was a damn good save to not spin on his part...I thought I was gonna tbone him at first
and it was alot of fun racing all weekend....he definately
Made me push a bit harder....
