Yep, it's me!

Thanks to everyone for your comments and criticisms. I'm sitting at an airport in Newark, NJ and these are the very reasons why I love this forum. It creates a great break from the real world.

I want to reiterate how GREAT a person AND driver I feel Ralph is. I'm not even going there about who is "better." I think we'll all agree it's very subjective. What I will comment is that he certainly has much more experience than me and hands down, is a HUGE influence in our world of auto enthusiasts than I'd ever dream. For goodness sakes, he's head of design!!!

Just to be on the same track at the same time, let alone merit his time and attention to post a video of us running because we BOTH had so much fun is in itself a compliment I'll never forget.

For those looking for more detail about these runs we had, earlier in the day he wasn't running good lines and (unbeknownst to me) had Tommy Burns (pro driver) take him around. By the time these videos were taken, he was a very different driver than earlier and took me by surprise. It's also why you're all right that I should have let him by sooner, but again I wasn't expecting it given the earlier run. He sandbagged me

Running these Hoosiers, they're almost 2 seconds slower than the previous tires I've been running and I'm still getting used to these and their limits, but either way Ralph is absolutely TOPS in my book. Like I said earlier, for a track junkie like me I felt like I brushed royalty!

Ralph can drive - I raced with him in 2010 Viper Cup and he surprised he hell out of me. And a genuinely good guy and enthusiast as well. It had to be a great treat to run with him.
