Nice! Red car needs to actually come withing the vicinity of apexes.

Your first turn in to T1 after green was quick and abrupt. It forced the car into a bit of understeer and you lost pace because you had to hold full lock longer. Compare with how slowly and flowingly you turned in there in following laps, resulting in you being able to begin releasing lock very quickly...

Only time to watch two laps now, will watch more (and comment if appropriate) later tonight

Nice driving. First 9:00 minutes looked a little frustrating. Be interesting to know how much power that red car is putting out.

You drove great all weekend. Faster than me. I was under the weather but not sure if I was well I could have kept up. You don't need any criticism. That was a nice move you put on Wilzoch. I think he was having problems that race.

WHOA!!! What a move at South Bend (9:45). Did you plan that based on what you saw previous laps, or was it a sudden move of opportunity. Previous laps, he was wiggling through there on different lines. That was a BALLSY move. WOW!!!

Well I wish I could take credit for a great move... but this was actually just accident avoidance that happened to end up in a pass! He'd throw out the anchor at the worst possible times and was not predictable at all. Perhaps his car was just giving him fits and not set up properly.

I should have just kept my nose in it at the initial lap 1 turn 1, but then the video would not have been as fun to watch!

Tell us about the car especially in the context of comparing it to a 7Cup.

Looks like a lot of fun and makes me want one but I think that diff screaming would drive me crazy.

It's like he's running a block play to stop you from getting to the wide receiver. (I think I got that right ;-) ) Not sure if his car is twitchy because or despite him. Made it very difficult for you with his extra straightline speed.

That's just a function of recording device mounted with metal mount to roll hoop. Not any louder than any other cup car in person.

Hard to blame setup for those lines and unpredictable braking actions from that red car. Good patience there, looked really frustrating.

Must have been frustrating. He pulled a huge gap on the back straight and you are back on his rear bumper by Hogpen. Then he pulls out on the front straight and then you close it up and are all over him again through the snake. Then he gaps you and your are nearly in his back seat by Southbend. Not sure what he was doing when you got by him.

Your car looks totally stable and the brakes look look like they would suck you eyes out when you get on them. Good stuff.
