I raced John Paton for a while in the purple (monsoon) enduro. (At the time, I didn't know who he was) He passed me, then I learned his line and passed him back. An excellent driver....

Default Orange Enduro in-car

Had a great time last weekend getting to know some of you. Had an absolute blast running in E with a "brand new to our shop" car. In fact, we picked it up at the track on Saturday, compliments of a delivery by Gordon of Autometrics.

Here is a lap depicting the hunt for for the lead in the Orange Enduro.

Just went back and timed it... That lap was the one that was the fastest lap of the race, wasn't it?

Eh, not really. No drifting left. Just you up the inside on the start, well before the apex. You were up next to him and his "power" well before the turn (nice start). I'm "wide" because I was in P2 and felt no need to protect inside once you were next to Kris, so I tried to take a faster line through the turn. Kris no doubt gave you racing room at the apex.





As for leading a lap... Here's the first page of the lap chart on MyLaps...

Ok Ok, so you were back in front by start finish and get credit for leading the first lap

I hope your car gets fixed up quick. Great racing with you all weekend.
