You cut me deep, fredrickson, you cut me deep....

I agree.

At first I thought, man who IS this idiot, somedody eject him before someone gets killed :)
But after awhile I noticed he was consistant so it became clear he was not doing anything intentional just new at it.

And yes, that was my biggest fear as well that coming up on him so fast I'd get hit.  But he Was holding his line.

The coolest part of racing with him was when it was over, after getting so waxed by everyone, and we all were in chat and he typed...
"Man that was awesome! Thanks!!!"

LOL :)

  I think Mack was trying to do the right thing during the race, but the
  problem was he was SO far off the pace, stuff was happening too quick.
  That's what happened when I got into Mitch early in the race.  I came up on
  the green 150 (Mack) so damned fast that all I could do was go right and
  hope no one was there.  My spotter hadn't been saying anything, but he was
  apparantly just above and behind me.  Loudon isn't a place where you can
  slap on the brakes and swerve becuase you'll end up being a pinwheel taking
  half the field out.

  Rough place.  I say dig it up :)

Yea, when I saw Ginger slowing down, i didnt know what he was doing and went
by him, then when i was nearing the line i saw dave coming and hit the
brakes(since no one else was behind me), but it was too late.

I'm afraid I made a terrible impression last night. Altough I was able to
hold a steady pace I made 4 stupid ass mistakes, and caused 1 yellow :-(

-first mistake was when I was in the lead, I decided in the middle of T3 to
give John a lap back when there was a yellow. I now realise I should've
waited till the front-stretch before lifting, because I overdrove the turn
and ended up in the wall.
-Being in the lead again at a restart I overdrove T1 and stupidly
downshifted to 3rd, causing a spin and a yellow . #24 hit me because of
this (sorry about that frederickson)
-When overtaken Mack on the back-stretch I returned to the groove way to
early, cutting him off. Luckily we both were able to continue our ride.
(sorry Mack)
-Last one was when I went below the yellow line in T2, car went loose and I
hit the inside wall.

I'm glad this comment came up. Altough I drove my first-ever (not counting
pick-up) race at RASCAR, and  have learned a lot since, I realise every
week there's still a lot to learn for me.

cheers, jurjen (enjoying the great races we have)
