Do you have video for the earlier part of Sprint 2? I remember you, Scott Leder, and I were mixing it up pretty well earlier on.

Whenever you are behind someone who you are faster than, PASS THEM ASAP.
I always imagine when I'm behind someone that the track is going to go full yellow in three turns and stay that way until the checker. Do you want to be in 2nd place because you didn't have enough of a sense of urgency when passing?

Paolo,
A couple of places your losing momentum; T9 turn in as soon as the car is neutral exiting T8 and T10 you are inconsistent. The painted apex in T10 is mostly flat and not curbing (not sure why they did this) if you pinch that more your exit onto the straight will be faster. Stick your nose inside in T1 more often. You missed 4 passing opportunities early on in T1. It will force the guy in front to defend more to the inside even if it does not stick the first time. Eg the green car over-cooked T1 several times leaving room. First time you should have said "ahh, that's an opportunity next time around". Same in heading to T10, if you moved over to the right more often to tempt a pass into T10 it is likely they would have pinched a little more allowing you a better run down the straight. When you draft on the straight stay close enough to reach out and steal the mirror off the car to the left of you.

I could have easily podiumed (missed 3rd place by 4/10s) if I did any of the above......Next Season......... I can't wait..........

Paolo, you did great. Just needed to assert your position a little more and own the corner. Ask Derek about aggression at our SP race with NASA a month ago. Derek was out on slicks in the rain when Curtis and I went by on wets. Curtis and I were passing back and forth everywhere we could including T1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,. At one point we were 3 wide from T7 to T9 with it still raining.

You know what they say, opinions are like ????????, everyones got one. What's up Mike... always heckling the crowd! 
You got it Bob, the Sat. NASA sprint race at Summit in the rain was ballsey to say the least. You all were haulin in the rain. Wish I would have had rains to keep up with the pace. Looks like we will be driving in the rain again this Sat at VIR with NASA. You going? I've got brand new Hoosier rain stickers so at least I will be prepared this time.

BTW, there was not one incident in that rain race if I am correct. Hoosier wets rock, you will be flying having already run in the rain on slicks.

You need to reverse your camera mounts. Mount the Chase bullet cam on that little mount and ust the big IO Port mount for your Aiptek. Did the chase cam work? I'd love to see the two in a split screen format to compare the quality as you had both pointing out front.
