Relax Mark. I spoke to him for hours that day. We had a great time playing cat and mouse on the track. I passed him clean, he knew I was there and he had plenty of room. He also knew I was coming around. I spoke to him afterwords and his exact words where " It is always more fun racing against someone. It isn't that fun racing by yourself." Then he came over to inspect my car.

I said in my earlier post that it wasn't as dramatic as it sounds, however I was running as hard as I could. I can't speak for him. He was certainly not pissed off. He was at a lot more risk being on the track with a new ZO6 driver that had no experience with high hp than he was playing around with me.

Do you really think I would risk crashing my car just to pass a 40 year old GT40? Do you want the "real" story? Here it is, RCR 33 passed 1051. How much fun is that version? I think my version sounds more fun. Sure I took some editorial liberties but it just makes it more fun.

Get out of your pulpit and go have a beer. This is a "feel good" thread. If you want to call me out, start a new thread. I will be happy discuss my driving there.
