Was he/she an amateur driver or was there something wrong with the suspension or car in general?

Nice, I loved how he gunned it in the straight then you shut him down in the corner! Nice to see David beat the Goliath!

Would have liked to have an in-car of the Corvette driver to see how much actual effort (if any) was put into the drive. Track had no straights that would have favored the Corvettes extra HP.

Next year when driving in Indiana, use a tractor steering wheel spinner knob....1000s of farmers can't be wrong!

I have enjoyed following your thread! (Better than the auto rags from last year)

You were on your game in Indiana - that was some nice driving.
