Epic Win, I push limit
Lost video found, edited and posted.
This is one of my most treasured 30 mins from my first racing season.
Jeff hounded, pushed me to a mistake. It was a great time sweating bullets!
This was my 3rd 30 min race in less then 2 hours in 100+ heat. No cool suit at age 51! Well done Jeff!
Part 1 I take the lead with some aggressive braking and a little bit of top end speed advantage but not much. I learned to draft a bit too.

Part 2 Jeff is right on my tail pushing me into using up my tires. The car is going away but I am powerless to stop it. It starts pushing badly, then becomes extremly loose off the corner. I nearly loose it in turn 2 and scare the daylights out of Jeff as he is right behind me. Not lifting has it's advantages or maybe it is just luck.

Part 3 My inexperance is starting to show. I am tired and Jeff is all over me. Finally I out brake myself and give Jeff the opening he was waiting for. I try to recover but fall short. However the last lap was the fastest lap of the race by nearly 1 full second. Just goes to show what anger and detremination can do even when the car has gone away.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!
