Rob,
I'm not sure how to take your comment....
Of course I was racing at the Vintage Grand Prix and I would not drive that hard at an open track event with street legal cars.
I would add that all of us on the track assume the risk when we go racing or even participate in an open track event. In fact, in my race alone, there were at least three spins other than mine that I am aware of. I was the only guy to hit something. The '66 GT350 spun on turn one on the first lap of the race, and the Cobra spun in front of me in the Keyhole. After that, the blue Camaro spun somewhere and ended up behind me for a few laps.

Anyway, yep I screwed up, but pretty much any guy who races and makes an effort to get faster will sooner or later slip up. I should not have gassed it that hard on lap 8 with tires that were going away on me. I should have just rode out my spot and finished the race.....

Hell, if I was out there with street legal Corbas you would only see a white flash as I went by!

Note:This post was in response to Rob's post which has been edited, so this really does not apply or may not make sense to some....


Just kidding....don't get upset
