I'm looking for it. IIRC Dave posted it himself, & without a hint, it's going to be pretty hard to find. He's only got about a gazillion posts.

Yes, he is a real Post *****, with over 5150 posts!!!!!!!

"So, you got a problem, maybe something you want to talk with me about? Lets do it now, 'cause I don't want to have to come find you for our little discussion....."

I don't have a problem yet. Only ~2300 posts so far. But I'm working on it.

You can almost always find me when PCA is running at TWS. C'mon down & ride with me!

Katie, I was droving a BMW in Grand Am Cup in 2005. My very first time ever at Barber Park. I qualified HORRIBLY, yet in the race moved from like 20th in class up to the single digits overall (between my class & a faster class) at the time of a FCY. The team opted to not have me pit, since it was only 45 minutes into a 2 hour race, and we planned to do the driver change/tires. fuel at the half way mark if possible.

Anyway, on the restart, a douchebag in the higher class named Tom Nastasi ran out of talent, hit a curb, bounced off & hit me. I ping ponged into another car, across some rain-soaked grass, and then spun across the track, where I stopped, engine running, at a 90 degree angle to the rest of the 80 car field screaming towards me at WOT up a blind crest.

I had to wait to rejoin the field or get t-boned. I waited, and rejoined in last place. Nastasi coasted to a stop in the grass, having broken a front ball joint while hittin gme. His day was over (JUSTICE!!). The other car involved, Michael McDowell, proceeded on.

I was unsure how damaged my car was. As I accelerated to catch up the field, radioing the crew, I could feel a fender rubbing hard on my RF tire where Nastasi hit me. I could also feel that that rim was badly bent. What I could not feel was that the collision had disabled my ABS.

Thus, as I applied the brakes in the very next corner, the bent rim/square tire locked, no ABS, and before I could react I had slid straight into a sand trap on the outside of T5. 100% my fault--I was so upset at the needless contact, and so worried abotu the car & finishing what had become a great race, that I was slow to react to a locked wheel. I simply did not comprehend what happened for about a second, and by the time I released the pedal, it was too late.

I was pulled out by the safety crew, went to the pits, and we did a driver change after bending out the fender, changing tires, and recycling the ABS. We lost several laps being towed out & in the pits. We ended up finishing in the exact position where i qualified, IIRC, several laps down from the winner.

All of this was captured live by Speed TV, and I ended up having like 5 minutes of solo TV time in the car. I have the clip in .mpg format, but I no longer can host it. It is 10mb long.

Here is a picture taken during the FCY that preceded the accident. The car behind me is, IIRC, the ******* who whacked me, Mr. Nastasi.

Todd, I was waiting for him to use the asshat avatar and thereby prove he wasn't an asshat.

Too late. It would now be a calculated move and not genuine proof of innocence.

Sorry Doc, you'll have to find another way to prove you're not an asshat.

I've read these lines a dozen times.

To me, they are an admission of guilt, and an admission that he is not reformed and will likely act in an asshatterly manner again.

But I defer to you and your two advisors for the final determination.

I have to fart again.

I too am uncertain whom you meant Katie.

The suspected asshat, or someone else?

Oh, I was just teasing about VR's post count...

But being ambiguous kinda worked, didn't it?

Don't anyone pull VR's finger, okay?

Mike in Chi

Yeah, he looks funny when he's all bloated
