you think you could have gotten back in front of me w/ a working alternator?

Not with the race being only 7 hot laps. 15 laps, that was the plan.

Well, how about this. Keep your car as it is and lets have a re-match. I dont think i can get you at sears, but t-hill looked very promising.
That's why we race. otherwise, you could just turn in your Time and collect a trophy.
T-hill was unfortunate. we had 3 hot laps, on the last of those laps, my car started dying from the alternator. we had 3 laps of caution, then my car was basically dead, then you ran 4 laps before another caution. You think you could have held off a late race charge? Prove it next time we get out there!

Wasnt it boring before I got some power in the last few races?

I dont know about you , but I would rather have some close racing, than a race win in ITE. Plus, the video sucks if no one is in front of you.

thats why I have a rear facing cam. We had a battle, I screwed up the start and drove around you on lap 2

btw see this. BP and DP going away for new classes for STO and STU classes to which a supercharged s2k is spec'd! Don't get too excited, I'm not leaving ite and the spec is for a 2.0L engine not my 2.2L

Screwed up the start, just like laguna? what color is the sky in you world. My car is faster in a drag, that we all know. you would have no chance on any start like that regardless of you banging you rev limiter, and hurking an jurking at the start. You ran aroun me on 2 as I left the door open. I know your cars advantages. certainly skid pad, like turn 2 is a good example of it, but Im fixing the braking issues. After all, you are 300lbs lighter and have MORE HP!. I wasnt going to hold you up, unless I could defend fairly. Yes, you were faster around the exit of 2 and for sure 3. But, you have to remember, racing is strategy. Its a long race. our times were under a second apart and still had a few things to go faster, then the alternator. The car was good an it would have been able to run 1 second faster for many laps in a row toward the end, but that never happened. Thats racing. Thats why we race, so we can do it agian!!

If i had a dollar for every race where the leading qualifier, passed a competitor that was ahead on the 2nd lap and DIDNT win, I would have a porsche GT3cup car! Hmmm, didnt this exact same thing happen at Laguna and I did win? oh yeah, more rylan excuses. ("I got caught behind a slow miata an made a mistake"). Races are won and lost by those little "mistakes". So yes, I was pretty confident I was going to get by you, one way or another!

I didnt see that with the STU class. So, No BP as a national class this year? or will they still have BP for our regional events? Interesting.

:bench racing:

you only finished in front of me three times the -whole- season. 1 mechanical failure and 2 mistakes and the mistake involving a lapped car was you getting lucky. While you can out drag me by a little bit, you'd never get far enuf in front of me before the corner. So yeah I make 1 mistake and left the inside veunerable.

If your game plan is luck and me making mistakes you're gonna have another disapointing season.

mark kibort

my game plan is NOT making mistakes and you making 1. you are 2 for 2 so far. the pass on the miata was not luck, it was a mistake on your end. I would have kept my foot in it and drove around him like i did matesso in the video clip below

go to 1:08. this is how you go around turn 4 with traffic

keep in mind, ive made NO changes to my car for the entire season while you had a clearly 2 second faster car. Lets talk about the last 3 races of this season where i got my performance up. 1st race I kept you in site, but had no chance. (getting use to the new motor and some overheating). 2nd race WIN, you made a mistake. 3rd race, i had you in sights, led the first lap and wanted to stay near for the next 10 laps or so. getting a break in traffic or a better car at that point WAS the plan. now its down to 1 second and Im within reach. Be careful, you might have to race me door to door this season. dont worry, no more donuts!

And by the way, I NEVER have a disappointing season!
