Sorry I wasn't able to make it out to this one, but Monica and I both had to be down in Angleton early Saturday morning for the Driver's Edge event at MSR Houston. I just couldn't commit to that epic drive from ECR back down to Houston Friday night. Glad to hear it went well. Sounds like my ego got a lucky break, too. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

So, most of us think we are fairly good drivers. I was at a private track day organized by one of my friends (Eagles Canyon Raceway), in my Ruf RGT. You can drive as much as you want because the track is green except during lunch.
I was driving my car at a fairly rapid clip when I see an Aston Martin DB9 slowly gaining on me. Now, the guy who normally drives this DB9 is not a very good driver, and I am beginning to wonder if I have completely lost it. I start pushing harder, and he is still gaining on me. But, suddenly the DB9 slows down, and all is well, including my ego![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Once I came into the pits, I found out that the guy who was driving the DB9 was not its regular driver, but Pablo Sanchez Lopez, and he had cooked the DB9's brakes. Who is he? Here is his information. He was a Formula 1 Test Driver for Ferrari in 2009, at the age of 19.
