Wow

Helluva driver.

Interesting he does upshifting & downshifting with one paddle, pushing it way from him for the downshhift, rather than using two paddles as is more common.

the Bikers & sidecars are more than frightening. 5 deaths this year. Every year deaths.. We know the sickness on Rennlist. Ultimate stuff. Great catch on shifting. I'm still in a daze from getting back from Pocono. the new cars are off the chart. I posted as usual on youtube. OMG - What a blast. . Winning your DE - coming home safe. I'm a speed junkie but Isle of Man over the top.

You could tell where he was resting from his heart rate. It got on up there a couple of times.

Bobby

Thanks for posting. Amazing. I love the motorcycle racing in the TT. I thought the sidecar stuff was crazy. This takes the cake. Makes 145 at Sebring look pretty wimpy

First of all, I think my heartbeat was higher than his just watching the video. Second, who makes the special seat that allows him to put what must be bowling ball sized nuts in it and sit comfortably?

Was pretty good. Today's double infield wasn't my favorite, but had a hoot the two prior day's.

120 in the bowl and 7200rpm in 6th on the back straight sure do get your attn!

I wasn't there Sunday. Did they run straight through on the South course or use the horrible hairpin? Pocono has its allure for me. I have a fascination with the bowl. I know every seam from setting the track over the last 20 years. Speed.

They used the hairpin. I did one session and parked it for the rest of the day. Just dont like the track in that configuration at all.
