To explain. Got a great start. Turn 2 the black Nissan turned in hard, right into my left side. He can be seen trailing dirt on the outside of the corner.

In retrospect, I never should have put myself in position for this to happen. I have raced with this group many times and know that they fight hard with each other. It was legal, but stupid, to put my car where I did, when I did. I got such a great start I thought I could put the whole bunch of them between me and Kim. It ended up costing me the race. It knocked off my brake duct hose, the brakes over heated and I lost the bead on the left front tire from the heat.
I did apologize to the Nissan driver.

It's interesting that this issue of Sports Car has Randy Pobst talking about exactly this sort of situation.

I just read his column. Pretty much spot on.

The newest member, on the site, Derek Kulach, was driving the black Z car that can be seen sliding off into the dirt on this video.
