I was serious in my correction...you absolutely moved on a normal line and closed the door...good defense. In fact, had you come back to a more normal line to the left before turn 2 you would have been fine also as we did not have any overlap until braking...but my guess is we got kind of lost from your vision and you thought we were there!

I only posted for no other reason then to keep the rivalry alive...and remind you who got it handed to him this particular weekend :P Nice clarification on the girls! See you next weekend(from the pits :( )

Yeah that's what happens when you get caught up in a CAT FIGHT

Actually I think I was being "optimistic" and was hoping to freight train Dave. Okay that didn't work.

I have an opinion so I must be right

You guys have fun out there... waiting on some TLC for my ride. And budget. But I never let the details get in the way.

I think it's the other way around Ron. More appropriately, how many times is Ken going to let me win? The guy literally has dozens of checkered flags hanging in his garage, all from SM. I just try to be a good teammate and he just has "issues" every once in a while... Now Wlll's another story. he really "believes" he can beat me :wub:

I understand someone passed away up there. If so, that is pretty sad.

Dan and I touched tires on the front straight sending us both into the wall. I was all the way to the left so had no more room.

Earlier in the race (thinking I was clear) I moved over on Dan going into T14 which caused him to lock up and go very wide (sincerely sorry for that Dan).

On the second to last lap we were side by side on the front straight when we touched tires which ripped the wheel out of my hands pointing my car directly into the wall and Dan being on my inside went with me causing him side damage. Not much I could have done other than go into the dirt to make more room. I'm guessing Dan may have been pissed about the earlier incident and wanted to keep me tight but I'm sure he didn't think this would happen. He made his case to the Stewards and I was DQ'd

PM me if anyone has any quesions or concerns.

Video? You might get a (mostly meaningless) acquittal by a jury of your peers (rather than stewards).

Saturdays Race:



I will not be posting video from Sundays race, as Bruce said, if you have questions PM or call me. In my eyes, what happened happened. I've moved on. The car will be back. Bruce, I hope we can go door to door (and no closer) again soon.

Thanks to all of the Oregon boys for coming down and putting on a pretty good show!

Dan and Bruce, classy move. No need to hash it out here. It's much better to settle it on the track (racing hard) the next time.

Sorry about the damage to your cars. Dan, if you lived up here we would be would be at your place helping you fix it!

See you guys at Laguna and Infineon!
