i'm never 100% sure if that's meant as a compliment or a criticism. probably a little from column a and a little from column b
btw at one point when i was behind the silver bullet i think i saw the inside rear tire come off the ground, i believe in turn 14a. that's common for fwd cars with lots of rear roll stiffness but unusual for a rwd car, could be that some suspension tweaks are in order.
and you know, for my part i didn't see very much poor driving at all, certainly no more than i'm accustomed to at such events. nor did i have any car to car contact, or four wheel offs (and just a couple two offs, both intentional while passing). i did witness three cars lose control directly in front of me, all of which are in the "highlight reel" video that i'll be posting just as soon as i can figure out how to upload a 1gb file without destroying my home office connection for the next 12 hours.
btw ricky - the passing in chump/lemons is nothing compared to what you see in most other orgs. in endurance racing there's no major pressure to make a pass work, you have many hours to try again later. in a sprint race you seize upon every single possible opportunity, and quite a few that aren't possible. i see more tricky pass attempts in a 30 min spec e30 race than i saw in 24hr of chump.
I saw quite a few E30s with two wheels in the grass. Pretty sure that may have been me in T-14 as your car was tucked underneath me all the way thru Hogpen before you made the pass. Sunday morning stint I think.
