It was probably an anesthetist, they always blame the surgeons. Good to see you at Sebring Tom. Are you coming up to the VIR Race?

I'd ignore it. As Kevin said, if there were a real problem, the driver (or a Steward) would have sought you out on site..
Thanks dave as you know by me having you there I take this seriously and want to continue to grow and improve.
Your help with car set up and coaching as always awe excellent and I highly recommend you to all.


As we all know a lot happens out the both car and driver that may be perceived to someone who doesn't really know what is going on or for that matter who is even driving


This person sent a letter to me assuming I was driving and I could have just been the car owner or sponsor for that matter

That's why face to face interaction is more in spiteful to all involved

I will continue to grow and improve and be as humble and courteous as possible and hope no one on the track doesn't want me to race or at least gives some constructive criticism pro or con welcome

Look forward to the next club race


Tom

No, it's always anesthesia's fault! When I was in the Navy and there was a duty roster, we used to joke that the spot for "Duty Fault" was permanently imprinted with "Anesthesia" so there was never any doubt!

Great, I can't wait!

In the absence of any specifics as to your supposed transgression, I would chalk it up to someone who couldn't catch you. As we know, people who drive faster are maniacs and people who drive slower are idiots.

And the same thing at VIR with me. Finally took an inside pass Turn 1 after three laps and never saw the yellow car after that.

Well as a high HP guy who did DE's for years and as a Porsche driving instructor I was always VERY aware if a car caught me he was doing faster laps and let him by pronto. One of the first rules of teaching drivers ed, same in racing if someone catches me no reason to try to hold them up, in racing that just slows both cars down.
Yeah, I got that concept.
