zoom Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I thought it was a good race at the front. Bill went in a little hot and high in turn 1 and sergio took advantage. Good clean move and didn't make any mistakes after that to allow Bill back by. The bugs looked pretty good. Getting faster every time. Congrats everyone.

NickHolt Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wonder what happened to Ja Lane. He set a new TPS record in qualifying but could hardly keep the car on the track during the race.. Something must have broken... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something must have broken... Nick Don't think there was anything wrong with his car. It was probably all those darn VW's that kept getting in his way/line.

NickHolt Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Takes a man to admit it... I missed the whole TPS race trying to fix the "floating cursor" in my laptop, but I'd look up when Milton would get excited for a spin or something.. And more often than not I'd see the 85 off the track. So I thought maybe he lost a spring or broke a sway bar mount or something. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 That's racing when half the field is rookies. so tell me what happend to all the non rookies ./.. dont just blaime it on rookies ..a rookie didnt spin us last year at kyle ..a rookie did not spin another car out in front of ours and wreck both ..rookies make mistakes ..but non rookie's can make a rookie look like a ROOKIE CAUSED THE WRECK .... NOW A ROOKIE WHO HAS won and has a car way to fast for them and win's A RACE CAN THINK HE OR SHE IS A RACE CAR DRIVER ..thats when stuff gets torn up ..

maz1438 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 One of them was my bad. Actually, Mike your being way too generous in taking the blame. Don't forget, it takes two to tangle. I believe you had the line during your incident. Possibly, some drivers might learn the art of give and take and maybe watch a few of the other classes race and figure out that there are other lines on the track to pass someone. And also don't forget, the #85 spun out a couple more times after your incident with him and i can betcha the other car involved with him isn't gonna take any blame/responsibility for it.
