I know it wasn't funny at the time but the clearly audible wtf is hilarious after the fact.

Several backmarkers didn't grasp the concept of mirrors this past weekend. Got boned myself by an out-of-classer.

That looks just like my in-car only faster.

Great Video!!! Thanks Justin...

After driving ATL so many times I forgot what I was supposed to be doing at Mid Ohio, that view even though it makes me emberassed in 2 turns watching that video, has set me straight...

I look forward to Mid Ohio in 2 weeks, I'll clean up that part of my game and we will have another Beast of a race... Congrats again, you were very deserving of the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video Justin. Thanks for posting. If any student wants to get a good primer about throttle application, they should watch this. Except for a few instances, you went to throttle when you could stay in it.

To both Kyle and Justin - great driving - nice to see a complete absence of blocking. Total respect guys.
