Then you got wome wierd buddies Dave. I run a total of 8 laps in over 2
years and this guy expects me to run 03's hehe.
Dave won the Glen race I was in. Ran I think 4 laps practice needless to
say not enough to get the feel of the track again. After the start I tried
to take it easy going it the carousel and 2 guys bunched up and I tagged one
in the right rear. Damaged susp and had to pit. Couple laps later a guy is
sitting in the middle of the track and as I try to go around him and he
backs right into my path. Oh well that Sim Racin :-(
So lets see how hard David beats on that chest of his. Looking forward to
interesting stuff on his web page too ;-)
Funny thing is he is suppose to be so great? only ran 1:04.38??? geez I
was running 1:04 flat over 3 years ago. Very strange for the almighty!
