Hmm, where did the attitude come from? Maybe because of the races I have
run with this group I believe only one has not been followed by someone
saying I screwed up and telling me I cant drive or don't know the rules. I
have just watched the race for a second time and I will tell you that I did
a better job of passing and being passed than some of you *experienced*
drivers. This is not directed at you Eldred, I respect you and you drove a
very clean race. If anything I am wondering why you seemed to stay behind
me on 2 occasions where I lost significant speed briefly?
I said I was done with this discussion, but I'll answer your question.
Bluntly, it's a lack of confidence in your ability to hold a line. In other
words, I never know exactly WHAT you're going to do. As I said before, I don't
review replays looking at someone's driving style(although maybe I should
start). You may be a solid driver 90-95% of the time, I don't know. It just
seems that every time you're nearby, it ends badly for me. And recently, we've
been nearby on track a lot. I end up near Jan a lot as well for some reason.
But, I've raced closely with Jan for at least the past 2 years or so, so
there's more of a trust(and therefore confidence) factor built up.

Oh yeah, and you have yourself all in a huff because you misread my original
post.

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.

I couldn't make the race and won't be able to make the next4 or 5
because I cut my arm with a miter saw on Saturday morning. Severed
tendons to all but index finger and thumb, and nicked the bone.

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.

The lead pack wasnt having any passing troubles that I saw or was aware of
and I was actually in the lead pack for most of the race. I dont remember
you being around us much. When racing for the lead at Tona you have to
expect 3 wide at any time any place. I would say you need to experience
some "lead pack" before you can comment
