Gotcha Jan. I had it narrowed to one of two and now I know who the other is :)
Seems you had a little discussion with him as well :) No problems....just happy
to be able to race.

are you mcfadds? if so I also was a little nervous around you, if i'm
thinking of the same person. I just looked at the roster page and see a
different car than what i saw in the race, so who knows. It seemed it may
have been a lot of warp because the car seemed pretty unstable.

OH Crap!
John, I wish you a speedy recovery - and pray that no 'permanent' damage is
done.
Take care bud!

really? I drafted with you for several laps in several sessions leading up
to this race. I even stole your driving line. Read your post before the
practice race about finding the speed in the corners. Ended up behind you
in practice before the practice race and tucked in behind. Took a couple of
laps till I figured out you were going into three in about the middle,
between the grooves and then going down low into four and out into the
dogleg. Not only was that faster but really helps with the loose off of
four in the fast setup :-) Watch me in the race, I bet you my line looks
familiar , hehe, thanks for the fast driving line.
