Hey guys, I just won my first one with nasa!

Video here:

Not without controversy though, Scott Phillips of the mazda teen challenge protested my pass at 22:30, that was good for a laugh.

NIce job Rob. I was surprised you let him even get close enough to make it a race. You were in front of him by figurative mile.

Well Rob protesting you has become a sport in itself ;) Just joking around. Big props for the battling, some of the best racing ive seen in SoCal SM

Shoot, I would have made this post a year ago if it wasn't for my camera failing during your last lap full throttle pass into the dust cloud under caution. Find another thread Elliot.
