Summit DE to NASA race weekend

[fasthonda]

hi steve!

you and your miatea brethern were scrapping like mad!!!!!  

in the best of all worlds, we'd smoke past you guys on the front straightaway;  unfortunately, most of the time that isn't the case....   i know i try not to F up a race being had by the other dudes out there;  but sometimes, most especially when i am trying to stay in front of someone (and fighting for the lead in PTE, and the overall lead of the Stinger race!), i HAVE to get thru RIGHT NOW, and i will pressure you guys and try to push my way thru....   i've got years of experience which has helped me to know where/when this is possible, without creating an incident.  navigating heavy traffic at speed is one of those 'impossible to teach' kind of things;  the only way to learn it is to do it, and to do it lots and lots!!!! 

i'd have been able to keep darren behind me a while longer on sun's race, if not for traffic;  i caught traffic in a poor location, and darren got a good run, which i couldn't protect from....   and since he was faster, that's all she wrote!   that's racing!

i'm glad you had a good race!  that rain race on sat was hairy for me, cause of the tires i was on, and the fact that the rain was getting heavier!   will i see you out at VIR?   you get basically twice the racing for the same price as a regular weekend!!!!  (and the last race on sun is an hour long!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
