I almost lost it on turn two trying desperatly to learn a thing or 2 from dominic in the heat race. I guess i learned not to try to keep up with him yet!!
Hats off to all the guys who got by me as the laps wore on. Wish it was a 1 lap race :)

Steve, you have great videos on your Youtube account, including the one where you and John trade paint at Shannonville, followed by our comments after the red flag ! (that was some race !). Your Mosports vids are also pretty cool eventhough you don't see me after turn one because you were way ahead...

Pat, go on Steve's Youtube channel "rhdracin", you can see the Shannonville race where you pass like three guys in corner 4. That was pretty crazy.

PAT - i remember that pass on turn 4 . i thought for sure his tires were from another planet built of sticky intergalactic binding compounds. i figure he should have been disqualified since everyone elses tires were from planet earth.

John- it was some kinda alright. i too like the smell of two stroke oil in the morning. I would however prefer to pick up the scent as i pass them instead of as they pass me!! :)

I guess they were just the wrong compound for Mosport turn 2 ;)

Nope , I think that is what Sebastian calls "overly optmistic entry speed" :D I thought I had the TZR going into corner 2 pretty good, then the RS came smokin by Brian and me with a healthy difference in speed..followed by blue smoke pouring off the tires, after that I dont know, I had to look where I was going !
