Thanks Glen! My camera was not working for some reason so I have no video. I'm sure Todd will be posting some though. Basically my car was just very hooked up with the Hoosier A6 tires and I could go places that Todd could not. We were battling a bit in the beginning but then I could see the rest of the pack keeping up with us. I tucked in behind him to give both of us a good draft so we could get a bit of a lead before contending. I didn't actually make a move again until we started catching the Miatas that were in a staggered start from us. By the end of the race we actually caught and passed the fastest Miatas which never happens. There were 3 of them battling out for 1-3rd and they were nose to tail! It was very difficult to time and pull off a pass and not screw up their race, and at the same time not slow myself down too much.
Todd never relaxed, never slowed down! He's like a tiger ready to attack at any hint of weakness. At the end as I was managing the Miatas there he was in my rearview about 10 car lengths back or so. A few more laps with a little more traffic and we would have been back into a battle.
Quote: Jason moved up the field in Spec E30 with a brave"grass pass" of several cars on the start. Once Jason's car is dialed in he will be contesting for the podium.
