Yea talk to Chad, one of those guys rubbed him all the way down the side of his WC cup exicuting a "pass" last year. After the race the guy came up and told him how much fun he had...looked like about $3k to me..."rubbin's racin" to some...

Hard to believe he was faster than you in all those tight left/right turns before the bomb. Those cars are incredible for the low tech and small wheels.

I was on -let's just say- very well used slicks...leftovers from a weekend with Pirelli Drivers Cup. I had very little grip!

There was a solid white line on the inside corner where he dive bombed you. Is it legal in NASA for him to cross that line?...

Nice to meet you last weekend at Willow Springs and I hope we see you back with POC again....

Yeah - we can cross that line as it is just the loading line for the drag strip. This was a ProAutosports event - but yeah - we take the inside for passing all the time.

It really hurts your exit onto the long straight, but if you can out-brake at the end, it makes it worth it!

Nice to meet you too! I hope to be a more POC events also! Great group and we had a lot of fun!

Ricky

@Mark - Yeah - I think you know that track very well!

Ouch, that's long haul. Chuckwalla with NASA-Az in early Feb. I think you'll get a good turnout of So Cal POC and NASA racers, it's on my calendar....
