What's that old saying in racing about not being able to win a race in the first corner but.......

BTW, doesn't the orange D car get a good start against me and the 944 turbo to his right

Streak,

Looks really really good, first timer or not. You lined up a nice pass on the black 911, and had a very good instinctual code brown avoidance move on the Toga car. Good work!

Did you lift at the start or what?

Streak

Thanks. It was a tremendous amount of fun and the black car actually gave me some advice to use in the enduro on re-passing someone if they get in side on a turn and swing wide. I used it twice. Really exciting stuff.

I definitely need to learn some more race craft. Particularly patience on the straight. I was too DE like by jumping out early on the straight as if I'd gotten a point by rather than use the draft. It's really hard to pass someone if they don't want to be passed.

I got schooled on the starts too That was some scary **** the first few times!

As far as the Toga car. I kept waiting to see which way he was going to roll and then just dove off. Everyone else went inside and stayed on track dammit! I didn't know how to get back on the track so I just drove around until I was sure I wouldn't get hit! The wipers looked cool too :lol: I had gotten up to 14th place too But that's racing! I've always wanted to say that.

I just don't think I can go back to DE.

Nice touch streak flashing your wipers at the Toga car to say Hi!

Streak

Yeah, I gotta get those off the car or pull the relay.

I might have on the restart in Sprint 2. Tried to brake boost, but going too slow in 3rd. Green flag dropped and I went backwards . . . ..

Sorry about spinning in front of you Streak and messing up your race.
I had problem with my rear brakes locking up. Glad there was no contact, good save.

FTS

How did the track hold up, the patches?

Gary R.

That was directed to Sean,not you Mike... the orange car pulled him like it was a 964.

Streak

No problem at all. Truly. I was just glad to be racing.

It all happened this weekend. Good for a rookie. Spins, dust, anti-freeze, deer. All of it. Good learning experiences.

Does anyone know if there was a photographer at the race?
