Say, weren't you one of my students at race school in Feb?

Sheesh.........getting sassed by my own student........after he wins the race last weekend.....no thanks to his instructor of course.........the school was obvously a waste of time for a pro like Richard......

OK, Richard. I'm goin' for a ride at the next Willow; )

I don't want to get into a pissing contest over who can get on the gas earlier in turn 9 or who can do better lap times, and yes I am sure you may be a better driver, but the first time I stepped on the race track was for a FastLane driving school 5 months ago. So I am sure that your 15 years of experience can school me. I would like to say however that I think I am doing pretty darn good for the experience that I have had. But again I don't want to get into a pissing contest over who is the better driver.

Thanks
Richard

OK, I think I have to say this again! ayeee, all of you get this into your head!


I'm the *best* driver!!!


I'm might be behind you guy's, but that means you guys are faster, but not better drivers. And just because I don't have lines, it's because I don't want you guy's to see the art of my driving.

p.s. So i'll meet you guy's at the track? Anyone else trying to STEP?

BEST Driver

Oh, I was just giving you a hard time.....no worries. Maybe I can get on the gas sooner, but I certainly can't piss as far.

Just like the old saying..........."when the green flag drops, the bull**** stops".

One thing that took me about 5 years to learn is turn 9, and just when to turn in, and how early you can get on the gas. The difference between the fast guys and the slow guys is turn 9. Al Unser Jr. calls it the hardest turn in racing.

You know, the short chute between 8 and 9 IS about 10mph faster than the front striaght.

I don't honestly remember exactly how fast I was going in the Z06. They are incredable cars.

BTW, both John Morton and I were impressed by your driving. John mentioned it a few times.

Nice job on the Alfa Cup win!

I'm still the best!

Oh hey Brad, Anthony has a very cool video Nissan made for the Datsun 510. It has John Morton in it, and a bunch of Trans-Am racing. Also has the Alfas dominating Morton. I think Morton use to get real pissed off with the alfa guys, theres footage of them blocking him and pushing his rear to spin out.


Have you seen it?
